Hello again. It has been a while since I have posted on here. A couple of weeks actually. I need some help here!! I am a widower. I have been a widower for right at almost one year. I am also a single father with two little girls. Ok. That covers the background on me I guess. Anways. I had a friend, after I lost my wife and son in a car wreck here in the States, he advised me, that perhaps I should like to meet a woman from Russia. he told me about the cultures there, and was actually wuite informational. I did a lot of research online, and saw he was telling the truth about the cultures, and things. So, I posted an ad on a fating site. I met a wonderful woman. (after meeting several *scammers*) there was one girl, 19, (I am 32) sending me all kinds of provacative photos, etc., telling me she is coming up for *vacation time* and would like to walk the streets of my home town with me. Needless to say, I did not respond to her last email. Anywas, I met a 28 year old woman from Samara. She has a 9 year old son, and has sent me quite a few photos that I am sure are real. ( I am a freee lance photographer.) they are not done in a *studio* or *best feature* type of setting. Her and I have been corresponding for about 3 weeks now. She has been rather upfront and honest with me. I even have her address. ( i used to be in Law Enforcement till I lost my wife and son and then went into photography this last year, so I went through a place in Samara I found, and gave them her address and all her information, they DID confirm that she is a real person, and she does check out. ) I feel kinda bad about doing this, but with all the things I have read about *scammers* I thought it better to be safe than sorry? I will be traveling to meet her later this year. I must say, that within just a few weeks, it feels as though I have met someone I have met before. Like a past life or something. I cant explain it better than that. It is as though we are connected by more than just our emails and phone conversations. Our dreams, and our desires are so similar. Our upbringins, even though in differnt countries are similar. The hard ships we have faced in life...
I told her, right up front, it may be Oct. before I can arrive in Samara to visit her and her son. As I have a lot of legal and business issues pressing me here right now. She told me, QUOTE

* Come when at you the opportunity will appear and you will be free, not important what is the time will pass before your arrival, I here on former shall wait for you!!!! Now time is not important, in fact we have already met and hope any more we shall not lose each other......
Settle all your affairs, choose suitable time, and then come, I shall wait for you!!!! For now we can simply correspond.*

I am simply astounded!! I would like either for someone to congratulate me and slap me on the back, or burst my bubble now before I go further...What should I ask or seek to know this is true?? I am following my heart here. Any advice???
Thanks one and all!!!
You guys and gals are great!!!
saking!!!

looks and sounds good to me. The girl I write to told me close to the same thing when I told her I could not come untill april/may to see her. I willl have been writting her for 7 1/2 months before our first meeting. She told me that it is like we have always known each other and that she would wait for me to come and see her even if it was a year she had to wait. I know that she is reall and as you have checked out your GF....I would proced forward.

I wish you the best of luck

Hello Cedarwind!!

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. She to told me that from our talks and our emails, it is as though we have known each other forever. There is a comfort level there that is hard to describe. (We both have messenger services online) She works in the petroleum industry there. She tells me about her day to day life, and same here. I am pretty much retired now, (even though I am 32) and spend most of my time seeing to my daughters welfare. So, we discuss every day life. I told her, I dont live in a major city. I live in a small town, and have been in the country all my life. I am looking now, for land to build a new home, and to have a farm again. I am within 30 minutes to 2 hours from major cities, depending on which way you go. I had read so many places how women from Russia enjoy the cultures and lifestyles of the major cities. That did cause me some concern as I am a country boy, and have been all of my life. I dont mind going o visit, but not to stay. We discussed this, and suprisingly, she is of the same mind frame I am also. It is nice to go and *feed your ego* as she puts it, but she would rather be able to return to a nice quiet home, and simple lifestyle in the country, or *nature.* Like a *Dacha* . It has been most wonderful. I had also explained, that now I am a single father, it is sometimes hard for me to find the time to travel. Since my daughters are ages 8 and 5 and have school. I cant just drop them with family for a couple of weeks and go. So, this summer, I will be able to make arrangements and travel. She said, *it is as though we have known each other previously in lives, our hearts were seperated, and now have found one another again. As though in a past life, we were together. Take the time you need for your daughters, to make arrangements. We have found each other again, and this time, we will not lose one another. I will be here waiting, and we will spend the mean time *relearning* about one another.* Wow. She is simply amazing to me. I even sent some of her photos on to my brother. I have corresponded before with women from Russia, and usually end up with all these *extravegent* photos, in swim suits, etc. Not from her. Ludmila, she is the most modest and yet beautiful woman. Her modesty brings out even more of her internal beauty to shine on her external beauty. I feel like I have found for what I have searched. I am still proceeding with caution until we meet face to face. But, anyways, thanks guys and gals!!! Keep your fingers crossed!!!

as long as you are honest, expect problems to arise & are ready to deal with them, the rest comes second.
Well, i think most men cannot visit abroad on a three days notice, especially those with children.
