I personally like the idea of three questions. I would be curious to see everyone's input. As for the cost, I don't thaink tha'st's really an issue. You aren't going to do this cheap. Anyway, what's the value of a lifetime of happiness??????
It seems that perhaps I misinterpreted the original post, I interpreted it as a guy may feel that 3 questions may be sufficient to make a life changing decision upon rather than, perhaps, if everybody chips in 3 questions then a much longer list of questions may be compiled.
My 'how much is it going to cost me' post was a 'piss take' of the 'ticket & visa scam' scenario as some recognised and if only one guy, currently in the process of that scam, reads my/that post then hopefully it will save him some money :)
But, I've heard it before, where party(s) will have a set list of questions to interrogate the other party with, indeed there was a time that I recall a lady sent me a list of some 50 questions to answer, whether she compiled them or, as I suspected, a guy had sent those questions to her and she was turning them around, some of those questions, as I recall, were straightforward but some were extremely personal and I didn't, I wouldn't feel comfortable, answer such questions to any person that I didn't know very well.
Letter writing should be a natural flow, two people striking up an ongoing conversation in letters where they talk amicably about things, not one party dictating a set number of questions per letter. By a more natuaral conversation one may think that the other party has the right qualities, enough to visit etc. some of a 'list' of questions will be asked naturally during letters but this 'game' is supposed to be resulting in two people liasing for a personal relationship and not one party 'interviewing' the other for a job position that he/she needs to fill.
But letter writing is just an intro to any relationship, the other party could answer a list of 'interview' questions perfectly but when the two parties thereafter meet then the body language simply isn't there, that the two parties simply cannot bear each other, nothing is 'clicking' etc. etc. etc.
It took me a few years, a few years back, to realise that letter writing is, in the main, very false and there is too much concentration put in to it as if it is a real relationship, it is not, a relationship may only commence after the two parties have met!
For my 3 questions I think they are needed to be answered by yourself.
1. Does the girl like you? This you would think is a given, but my girl was telling me when she first flew out NZ she was sitting on the plane next to another women from Ukraine that told her she didnt even like the guy she was meeting to marry.
2. Will you be able to make this girl happy? So often we dont think too clearly in this area.
3. Do I feel lucky? If you do feel lucky then disregard any positive answers in questions 1&2 because you are not in any meatal or emotional condition to answer correctly. This being the case refer to default question. "Is my Family Trust bullet proof ?"
not so much I like three questions, I would be curious to see what eveyone would post and out of the three how many would make up many great questions to ask.
I picked out what I thought were the best of the first few replies and sent them to a lady in Ukraine. She thought it was hysterical that you would only start with three! As she's now turned out to be a big-time pro-dating scammer, I'm sure that there would have plenty more as she tried to reel in the fish wriggling on the end of the hook (don't worry, all it cost me was an address credit, which the agency has refunded in triplicate).
Now, last night, I got a letter through the agency from a beautiful young (29) lady, which contained a list of questions that she wanted answered to help determine our compatibility. I was quite happy to answer them all as they're good, intelligent questions and she gave her answers as well to show what she's looking for. Based just on this, and her list of interests and spare-time activities, we should already be married!
As for "you love me, you think of me all the time, AND you want my babies...and how much will it cost ME?" - great post!
I've already got an overseas trip scheduled for early next year, so any trip to Russia will have to wait awhile. Be nice to see what pans out, though!
