I smell the faint whiff of desperation in this thread.
Who's desperate?
That "smell" is not coming from me. I don't spend nights and days searching page after page of personal ads and marriage agencies.
Unlike this web site and several other dating sites that cater to IR, umm that's still basically "foreign" to Eastern Europeans, especially in areas that have limited internet access.
For example, the girl who's picture I posted shares a PC with her aunt but they don't have unlimited internet access. Web access is a costly expense in Russia or in the Ukraine which is where I was.
I was completely shocked the person in the next apt had WiFi in the middle of a typical Soviet style series of flats... Larisa the girl I knew in Kiev has limited access I think 30 hours a week for I think what amounts to $20. At $300US a month to live on, including rent and food and taking care of a baby, ummm having unlimited net access isn't the first thing on her list.
Thus making contact and constant communication a bit of a challenge.
Tatiana now has Skype so think things might improve on that front.
The facts are I am 37, I'll be 38 in Aug and the time for messing around and not taking this seriously are over. I don't want to be a man in his 40's and 50's having his first child which seems very common these days in America. I am constantly meeting American women that are single mothers (not ideal) or women in there late 20's, early to mid 30's with no intention of having children, or women in there early to mid 30's that frankly I am not interested in at all.
Nicca please I can call up this girl Suzi and take her out on a weekend cruise to Mexico and she'll be on cloud 9. I DON'T WANT TOO!
So if constantly looking overseas and dealing with 9-10 hour time differences is desperation to you, so be it...
