Okay, guys, what's the consensus on these questions?
Should I automatically raise a red flag when I
receive one?
I'm corresponding with a young lady in Penza (the same
city as 25773). Actually, I received 3 or 4 'quizzes'
from this lady over the course of a couple months.
Fortunately, our letters have covered more subjects
than just the quizzes, and she's actually made comments
about some of the answers I provided. Personally, I likened
these quizzes to the 'Test Your Mate' tests you might find
in 'Cosmopolitan' magazine.
Other information:
I sent her flowers for March 8, and recieved a
wonderful thank you note - it didn't appear to
be a form letter.
I have asked for her address a couple times, but
have not received it. However, she's never
written "No, I can't/won't give you my address"
I really like this young lady (she's the only one
I'm currently writing to), but now I'm starting
to get slightly paranoid, which concerns me.
Any advice you guys can sling my way would be
greatly appreciated.
I sent out about half a dozen letters just before Women's Day asking for personal contact details in order to check the validity of the girl behind the letters. Did you ask for photo's of the girl with your gift? I'd definitely recommend it. Half ended up rejecting the notice and half (the genuine ones) forwarded their details with the minimum of fuss. It was an inspired move on my part and now I have never been more focused where I was otherwise confused by who and what was legitimate. Don't fall for someone that your instinct tells you isn't real when it doesn't feel that "they" are writing back. They could quite well be genuine but I don't see the problem in giving your details over to someone who you are supposed to 'like' with a view to 'more'. Since doing that, the quality of the letters I have got back as changed completely for the better and in no way appear template or agency written/modified/prepared.
I should add ('cause I cannot edit my previous post) that further contact was conditional upon forwarding their addresses or telephone number! An ultimatum in effect, which is the only way to know where you really stand at least at this early stage.
A lot of guys seem to think that the girl is always the 'catch'. It can work both ways and if you play it that way, she'll no doubt appreciate that you are real and not a dreamer by playing hard to get.
The only problem as far as i can see is that some girls reply through an agency to fiance.com, and their agency doesnot allow those details to be forward, and as i have found out, deletes the info, if the girl actually puts it in the letter, this is nothing to do with this agency, as i know they allow that info.
What i have found a good ploy, after writing a few times, say directly to the girl that you have encountered problems before in agencies not allowing contact info, knowing full well that the agency screens the letter before they give it to the girl. I then ask if she could ask her agency how i am eventually going to contact her, as it is pointless any how, at this point 90% of the letters stop, but at least you've still got 10%
i do believe that a fair number of the girls are okay, but what are you meant to do, i have been in touch with several girls myself, especially in 'guess where' yes its riga again, and they usually dissapear when asked for info persistantly
"I have asked for her address a couple times, but
have not received it. However, she's never
written "No, I can't/won't give you my address"
Ask again, and keep asking, never write a letter unless in it, or preferably as a PS you ask for her address, again and again, if she still doesnt ante up then Im afraid she is delibertaly ignoring the question becasue she doesnt want to give it to you, and if thats the case you Must start to ask yourself very seriously, why ?
I think what wobbly means Del' is that if you point out that you have had problems with agencies the when the agency read it they will know you are suspicious, even if they dont pass on your concerns to the girl, the agency will know you are on to them, and you wont accpet any game playing by them :o)
Yes, I see; that's another sneaky way of letting them know that you're onto them. I was quite blunt (but nice) with my letter that I wasn't going to be messed about with and it worked in the sense that I got rid of the rubbish and have found what I consider to be 'the one'. Either way, I believe it's an action that everyone should adopt to filter out the X% of time wasting agency based girls whether the girl is at fault or agency, it doesn't really matter if you can't get her info and concentrate on the ones that are the real deal.
There are many dodgy agencies who can cause all sorts of problems for the girls too !!
You may have read in other threads that I have an adopted Ukraine Sister :o))) Olya, well Olya has a very close friend called Ludmilla (Luda) and about a year ago Luda was with an agency in Lugansk (Ukraine) where Olya also lives until she joins her husband in the US hopefully soon. The agency Luda was with took huge amounts of money for all sorts of things from the man she was writing to, ripped him of wholesale. So Luda left the agency, and with Olya`s help (olya has her own PC, at home, a very old one but it does the job :o)) ) managed to convince her man that it wasn't her doing, and talked him into coming to meet her. They met and are now married, Luda is here in the UK now and it was almost not this result simply because of a scamming agency, so yes my friend, it is Not always the girls at fault !!
Continuing the theme of the difficulty in "deciding" which one is right for you, I've pretty much dumped my second favourite girl today who was the first Russian woman I've ever spoken to and a babe too but hey! I'm a male babe! ;-)
As hard as those choices may seem at the time, they're not really when you really know what you want. The letters to my fav. have improved dramatically as a result of taking ACTION. Virtually letting down the others is likely a formality in the next few days and yes, I am putting all my eggs in one basket, burning my bridges etc but what the hell if it gives you the best chance possible at the one you want, than second best.
I Agree Del', one cannot continue to write to more than one girl indefinatly or one is just not serious about anything, it isnt fair to tag these girls along longer than it takes to choose the one you want to pursue, and its not like its a race !! If the one you choose doenst work out, you start again, at least you will have been honest and sincere in your ways and your own concience will be clear :o)
I hope they don't all act like lemmings when I give them the bad news. lol
"Serious" is right, I know I wouldn't want to be jerked about by a woman that is writing / seeing multiple men and you get conflicting advice on what is the right way to approach a woman and it would be nice to have the gift of Mel Gibson's "what women want" but personally, I've never had a problem charming the Venutian mind and body so I will continue to do it my way and give one sweetheart my undivided attention. When the feelings are mutual, there really is no dilemma as you fly through the clouds.
Have 6 or 7 women writing to you and replying to them is all very well, but I cannot see how anyone can form any strong or genuine relationships this way.
One at a time and if it goes tits up, there are 1000`s of others to begin again with, why spoil what might be the perfect one chance by splitting your attention between many women !!
My thoughts on UK women are
"Why would I want more than one ? One is hassle enough for any man !!!"
With Russian women, one is ampole to make a man happy, why would he want more than one at a time !!
And though I have played about a lot when I was younger, one day we all had to grow up and be good men with morals and decency. Playing the feild is more imature boys (up to and including 25 yrs !!) not for real men.
LOL @ Tim,reading that last post Tim now I know why an editing facility would be a good idea!.....and please don't take that as a criticism mate,done it enought times myself to hit reply button then read the contents and think OH NO..:)))
You can't. I can type fast and real off original one-liners like nobodies business but 6 or 7 women spreads you thin and it will show, in effect doing yourself no justice in the long term. This past week I have focused on just one girl and she is totally smitten and swept off her feet - well, we both are - I swept myself too (lol). It's a stark contrast to previous weeks which so pale by comparison. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work; but I feel it's the right thing to do for me.
