To those of you who might be regular readers - I was attempting (still am actually) to line up a couple of contacts (women I could meet) in the event that things don't go well with my two Moldovans on my upcoming trip. (Trust me - thre is nothing so humbling as being alone - without companionship - for a few days in a foreign country where you don't know anyone or even the language). I wrote to some BEAUTIFUL women listed here as well as through other services, thinking that they would actually be GLAD for the opportuntiy to meet someone who will actually make the journey to their country (you would be amazed at how many get sour because guys only seem to want to be perpetual penpals - and never get off their duffs to go and meet them). Instead I was SLAMMED by quite a few. Our friend from this colum, Tim and I were both perplexed - so Tim tried an experiment. He wrote to some of the same girls - once or twice and they seemed most welcoming. Then "dropped the bomb" (his words) and iformaed them that he was actually going to visit them in theor country in two weeks (much like I had). Both girls he had been writing to - dropped him instantly like a hot potato. Don't want to speak for Tim (he does pretty well on his own) but he and I beleived that they were scams - who would have eventually asked for money - but certainly did not exist in physical form to meet at the airport.
Gawd - I hope not. And it is ironic that you would say that - because I DO have two Moldovans - they are former best friends that I met last year in Ukraine. It is a long story - but they had not spoken to each other since the Romance Tour in Ukraine - because one "got a guy" (me) and the other supposedly didn't. Trouble is that I have been caling both on the phone - for an hour or more each week. The one who stayed with me in my room for five days did not know I was communicating with her friend. The othr has actually been persuing me - (calling me, sending letters with pictures, the first one does none of these things). With the trip al planned and my somewhat certain decision to offer on particual girl a fiance Visa (though I promised to see both) I just received word yesterday that they are talking and comparing NOTES!!! (The one persuing me called me to inform me that the other had called her to ask questions. She maintains that she did not tell of our communications and asked me not to divulge either - yeah right).
The girls are both BEAUTIFUL.
That I am finally going on the trip I am GLAD.
And I am more than slightly concerend I may get SLAMMED when I get there.
I was beggining 2 notice the same thing.. thinking about it now all the times i have mentioned my intentions of going to russia in the near future i have been dropped.. intresting how often this happens..
I think most of us would like to have your "problem", lol...
I would suggest you find a country where poligamy is still legal, become a citizen, then bring both your moldovan honies to live happily ever after with you...:)
Remember, however, that poligamy also implies poli-mothers-in-law, as well, lol
Highlighted words in my last major ramble above were DO and NOTES.
And I did "DO NOTES". I have these extra names addresses and phonumbers on little pieces o paper.
They're women!!!
- of course they're going to discuss everything you ever said, suggested and done!
It seems to me like you're going to have a good trip and have covered every eventuality. It's equally nerve-racking when you put all your eggs in one basket.
If it was really legal in Utah (not just practiced by a break-away segment of the Mormon church) I would go there.
I am very serious when i say tha tin my 46 years I have not met two more appealing women - looks, personality, intelligence and did I mention that they are 23 and 24 years old. (And they are chasing after ME - to quote Yakov Smirnoff "What a country!")

How about giving me the details of one of those girls that you and tim tried it with !! I just have an experiment of my own.. i was gonna write them, get them hooked a bit then ask them 4 the cash 4 me to visit them...lmao
To be fair - one women wrote to me with an explanation as to why I was being dumped. She correctly figured out that i must be writing to several women since she and i had only written to each other once - She said "I do not want to one of many women you come to see - I want you to come for only me".
She may have been the only real person in the bunch.
In my not so humble opinion...ahem...ahem...I think a lot of this "dumping for being considered a player" can be difused, avoided and prevented if you're upfront and brutally frank with everyone of the ladies from the very beginning. Even in your introduction letter.
I have four favorite ladies who I will visit and meet in St Petersburg this summer.
Every single one of them knows that even though my goal is to find a woman to spend the rest of my life with, but that I am not in love with anyone now.
I am, after all, a pragmatic sob and cannot conceive of offering anymore than platonic friendship to anyone I have not met yet.
E-mails, photos, phone calls, snail mail letters and postcards are all fine and dandy...but no dame will ever get my committment prior to at least a series of meetings.
They all agree that my approach defuses the sexual and commitment expectations for all of us.
It may not be the ideal or preferred way for them to meet a man for a serious future relationship, but they seem to be willing to accept the compromise.
They sure make no bones about telling me they appreciate my honesty for being upfront with them.
I undertand your point GL - but I do point out I did already meet my two Moldovans. I have never claimed to either that I was in love with them - and one spent five nights in my room with me. The girls who I have been trying to collect contact information from (my "backup plan") are fully aware that American men sometimes visit FSU countries under the guise of looking for a serious relationship while really only being interested in "sex tourism". If they have not experienced such behavior they have certainly heard of it. And while they are eager to be at their best and eager to please - they don't want to be used as someone's vacation trophy. I think that this fact might offer a credible explanation for why some want to feel that they are already someone's "special one" before meeting.
This is a scam. I have been to Ukraine six times in the past two years, these women are much the same as American ladies, only more educated and street-wise. But being from Alabama, I am much the same way! There are multitudes of good ladies there, they will never ask for money until the relationship is well underway, at which time you should provide some support.
I spent two months there this past winter and plan to return this summer,I have found common sense applies there the same as here. How many FSU ladies have you met in America walking around with a tourist's visa?
