What has your RW done for you?

Posted by: solstice

In the course of your relationship has your RW done anything special, gone out of her way by any means to let you know she cares. Or has it been more one sided in gift giving, letters, phone calls, etc. from you?

Well I'm not sure what you mean by"special" or "going out of her way". Let's see ... on our first and only meeting, she offered to pick me up at the Moscow airport at her cost, I paid for it though. She said I could stay at her place instead of a hotel, that saved me BIG BUCKS just for a room! She did all my laundry and meals, we ate out a few times and I paid. I gave her money so we could do things and she spent it all and started using her money. I of course paid her back plus hid $200 before leaving. Yes I have bought her jewelery and flowers a few times but after all she did for me she deserves it. The best gift I got from her was her love and care I received while I was with her. You can't put a price on that. So to answer your question ... a BIG YES!

That’s great! The reason I’m asking is that before you meet with your RW it often seems that men do a lot to show their true feelings through giving gifts, etc. Now I know this happens in most relationships regardless of circumstances. And I know a lot of these FSU women don’t have a lot of cash to be throwing around. But doing something simple like sending a card through the regular mail doesn’t seem like it would be a difficult thing to do to let you know she’s thinking of you & is willing to take action to show it. Would this be asking too much or does it just take a first meeting for a RW to think that way?

Hi Solstice

How do you describe something special??

She brought light into a life filled with darkness, she brought calm and serenity where there was turmoil, she brought peace where there was a constant war, and she placed love in a heart that was once filled with hate, My Sveta has turned me back into the person I was meant to be, and all this she did because it came naturally to her and without any charge, or request for anything in return, is this what you mean by something special

I have of course tried to repay her the best way I now how, but how do you repay a gift such as this??? Only by returning the love she seeks, and that is all she seeks

That's fantastic John, but how did she bring those things into your life in a practical sense? In the course of your relationship were there any small things she did that made you know she was the one. What I'm trying to understand (maybe it's just a woman thing) is I've dated AW for a length of time & had them send cards, call me just to say "Hi", etc. which was a nice thing to do. I've met this great woman in Kiev & for almost a year now we've had a pretty good conection. I've sent flowers, an occasional package of gifts for her & her son, & even called occasionally. And even though the emails I get from her are quite romantic she's never gone & done any of those things I'd like to think women do when it comes to a feeling of conectedness. I'm not the best at understanding women (who is?) but is this something that FSU women don't consider approriate or what? Is my thinking off here? Of course one shouldn't "expect" to receive "things" to show their affection but it seems that women kinda anticipate these things from men. Maybe the thinking is diferent from the other end of Venus.

Solstice

Have you visited her or met her yet? maybe that is the reason you do not get maybe as much as you want in return? A lot of women don't put all their soul and happiness into a man until he has actually gone to meet her and she knows he is committed!

You have to remember, only a very small percentage of guys actually go and visit the FSU, so how does she know you will ever do this? A year is a long time to write without committing to a visit!

That’s true Chris & thanks for responding. I was all set to go over back in April but events came up that prevented that. So maybe what I’m hoping to see won’t happen until I get over there. I guess all I can expect for now are words of encouragement.

You'll only be saying, "Where's the K-1 fiancee Visa form!!!".

Now go see your RW before someone beats you to it!!! Have fun and good luck!

Sol.. you have to see her before you can "expect" anything. it has been said above that there are men out there stringing some girls on with absolutley no intention of seeing them. Now think how expensive it would be if a girl sent a card or called everybody that contacted her, it would be a tremendous expense that she would not be able to afford.

your girl will give you years of love and happiness. you cannot look at everything from only one side. look at the whole picture!!!

whole picture:

you have been tralking to her
you have been emailing and writing letters... and so forth
sending small gifts and flowers
you finally meet, and then
you fall in love
you get married... she gives you a lifetime of happiness, she gives you a warm and cozy home enviroment, she gives you beautiful children (if you want), she keeps stability in the family, she keeps the love flowing.

then on top of that, she displaces herself fromm her country, she leaves behind relationships with friends that she has had for years, she leaves behind family, her work, her comfort zone per say.

I do believe that she has given up more than you or I had given up initially when you met her.

go meet her, and if all is well you both will have a very happy and prosperous life together.

Once you meet and you know, in your heart of hearts how you feel, she will see this, then my friend it a whole different ball game, and one of the most wonderful things you will ever experience.
My advice for what its worth, go as soon as you can, if you haven’t got the time make time, you will regret it if you don’t

I had lots of interest but decided to just go on a holiday, i had no plans of meeting anyone. About 2 months before my trip i met my RF on an instsnt chat room. i was just asking about Moscow how was the weather, things to do places to see ect ect. After some weeks of chatting and then talking on the phone we started to " hit it off" she had no glam pics ect...but hey. Unfortunately as i had planned my trip already and she had a hoilday with a girlfriend already booked things werent looking so good. I was only in Moscow for one night while she was there before i was off to ST petes the next day. Did she go out of her way????

She met me after having no sleep and being on a plane for about 6 1/2 hrs. We went for coffee and i said i would have loved her to go to St petes with me. I said i would take her home on the metro then catch a taxi to my hotel....this was about 1:30 am. I could not go up to her appartment as she shared with an old lady at the time. SHE STOOD IN THE RAIN WITH ME FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF WAITING FOR THE TAXI. I kept saying you have to go to work tommorow, you have had no sleep ect ect. She wouldnt have it , and actually wouldnt let me go until i promised to ring her from my hotel when i arrived, which was about 3:00 am. She got up and went to work the next day then got on a train from Moscow to St Petes ( yes i paid on my insistance ) 7 1/2 hr journey. She wanted a seperate room in the hotel which she paid for. She gave me the greatest weekend i had ever had ( company not sex ) and proceeded to catch the train back to Moscow another 7 1/2 hrs ....get off and go to work.

We spent most of the next 2 weeks together and i did pay for most of our outings, meals ect ( which i would do here anyway ). She paid for me to go to the ballet and bought me some Russian books. She has since paid for my invite application for the next trip in December, got her own appartment at great expence so that we can spend all of our time together when i come, and more than anything given me her love and commitment which is priceless.

I knew from that first night looking at her standing in the rain that she was a real keeper. Im a lucky lucky man.

On valentines day 2 years ago when herself was in SPB and I was here, Irina asked me to go on the webcam, instead of her face popping up, there was a heart shaped cake! She had baked me a valentines cake. The fact that I would never get to taste this cake didnt matter, what mattered was she came home from a long day at work and made me something special.

=o)
