One thing that does concern me; she has expressed a willingness to clean. I'd rather she didn't but I am not at all sure I will be able to prevent it.
While I have given up on any real search for a FSU woman, a long time pen-pal is coming to visit me this summer.
She and I have talked for 1.5 to 2 years, mostly on Viber, sometimes on the phone. She has a Visa to the US for two more years. She has visited before, but only to the mid-west. This will be a much different visit for her. We are not and will not ever be a couple. She may be very pretty, but she and I see the world in much different ways and a relationship would be horrible.
She has told me mostly what she wishes to do. Mostly she wants to relax, maybe even simply stay at home and not do anything. I have planned a few things for her to do. One will be to visit my brother, he lives in Massachusetts and I thought maybe I could take her to see Plimouth Plantation and some of the origin of this country.
Another thing I will do will be to take her to the beach. This woman is phenomenally attractive and I am very interested to see if she gets hit on at the beach. She should be. It would be nice if she does get some interest from men.
Maybe not on the day of the beach trip, but definitely a shore dinner will happen as well. Lobster, clams and corn, I am not at all sure if she has ever had any of these items.
I am very much looking forward to her visit. I am also almost certain at some point while she is here, we will have an argument. This used to bother me a great deal, but now I realize she is able to argue without becoming emotionally involved in it. Something I will probably always struggle with, and a reason why I like to maintain a friendship with her. She sure is able to help with that.
Not sure what else I might do with her. But she picked the time to visit and I told her I would have to work some days while she is here unless she came in late spring and she picked the time when I was less available. I know last year when she visited another friend, she complained about being forced to do things that did not interest her.

if you give her alcohol before the massage, almost 100% she’ll fall asleep during the massage
depending on the mood you COULD do part of the massage, or you can come in at the end and lay a blanket over her or help her off the table into the robe...
IMHO, it is the experience of the setting you’re in, the company you are with, the conversation, etc. that’s important in dining. It’s more the overall experience than the particular food.Certainly, Boethius knows life as it is. :) The food does not matter, the conversation and common atmosphere of light flirting within friendship frame do. The best food, as I feel, which is cooked by woman's hands in home kitchen, and the actual quality of final product would be the last thing I care. Better option than clams.
Italian restaurants put small amounts in pasta dishes, but it’s off and on.Clams are mandatory, and in substantial amounts, in spaghetti or linguine alle vongole ;):

Predictable. . . . .
I sincerely like this woman, she is interesting, speaks flawless English, and has asked me to visit to her. One day I will make a trip to her town and let her show me around. One thing I will never do is sleep with her. She and I will never have that kind of a relationship.

I look forward to visiting them in Russia next summer.

Personally, I prefer them in bianco, i.e. without tomato sauce overwhelming their delicate flavour.
I thought I saw people in the lagoon(?) outside of Venice doing this, wasn't close enough to see the nature of their harvestIt depends on the time of the year. If it was April/May or October/November they would be searching for moleche (Carcinus aestuarii), crabs shedding their hard shell thus becoming soft:

ohhh, stop the food porn please, I live in America....
A few days after my last post she asked me a question about English Grammar.
I responded and she disagreed with my response. She studied English and has been an English teacher in Russia for many years. Because I disagreed with her, I am a liar, slippery, an idiot, and purposely trying to hurt her. We have barely talked for about a month. This is the third time we have ceased correspondence in three years.
Eventually, we will go back to being penpals, if past is prologue.
Just a guess, the difference of opinion are grammar usage and syntax. I suspect you answered from the People's standpoint and she was looking for a response that represents the Queen's English. Her response was over the top. Fortunately most of us understand* the other on RWD no matter which body of water we are near.
And yes Moby is correct, you have conducted your self as a gentleman.
