Ive never done a social. Ive been around when they have occured. Some girls I know call the a "meat market" but if you
want to meet several girls in one place, I cant see any reason why not to attend if you happen to be in that city.
Why does it make any difference knowing how old my son is? For the record, I remind you that MY girl is actually five years younger than HIS (much younger than he is) girlfriend.
While his thoughts are always important to me, he doesn't make the rules which govern my life.
lonelyranger1701: I got it now. He's not married - but he has been living with a girlfriend for a few years. From time to time I have invited him to come to Ukraine with me. Of course his girlfriend objects very strongly and for very good reason.
He is younger than I am (obviously), taller, in much better shape than I ever was - he pumps iron regularly, he would have his pick in Ukraine and do much better than his old man does - and I can't complain about how well I do.
I have no doubt that if he were to come with me - his life would change. And his girlfriend knows it.
I met my wife on a free dating site. I was working in Africa on a 9 week on 4 week off roster. My company paid for the travel I paid for accommodation. She spoke good English and we enjoyed each others company. It was a more or less normal relationship development as I could spend the time seeing her, not having to make it work in a few weeks. She had spent a tear lining in the US before her parents split and was keen on eventually moving.
In the end compatibility is about more than age, its about shared interests, personal needs and goals. In 10 years will we still be compatible I cant answer. My first marriage lasted 16 years so what is the measure of success?
Jet if you are happy then enjoy the ride and see where the journey takes you.
Great point Gemini. I think measure of success is to ask oneself if they really enjoyed the journey or they were just too worried about the destination e.g, making the relationship last forever. One can be married forever and never enjoy the journey and one can be in relationship for few years and have a remarkable journey. Success parameters are different for everyone but i personally feel that they should be derived from within and not from external factors such as the society.
Hi Jet!!! How ya been? You kinda just droped out!!! ;-)
Been reading some of your posts. A PYT??? Can't say if I blame you.Nothing wrong with having some fun and enjoy someones company. I was thinking too about heading to Carpathian's this winter. I saw bowhunter has been there before. A guy emailed me the tour info from AFA ski trip. This is it, interesting? www.loveme.com/skiing/skiing.html
Are you still talking to the moldovian girl? I still visit every October for festivals.
I had a girl stay with me a couple summers ago. I have no idea how she got a ME 10 year tourist visa!!!
Beemer: I went on an AFA Romance Social in 2010, in Kiev and Poltava. It was supposed to culminate with the ski trip you mention, but the ski trip was cancelled as they did not have enough interest.
Apparently they have had them in 2011 and 2012, but I haven't been on one.
No right now I am just with the 21 year old. Again the ONLY problem she and I have is the age difference.
I was dicusing this with my son recently and I explained tat its not unusual for a relationship to have a serious problem. And I have had problem relationships before. But NEVER have I had one where the ONLY significant problem (and its HUGE) is that she is way too young.
