Dear Cobra ( ....strange name for a 46 y.o. guy , why not Python:P)
welcome:) cookies are ready , tea is waiting becoming cold already.......

))))
Reading your story I found like 2 things which I felt not comfortable with:
This .........
My flight to Paris Charles De Gaul airport took was uneventful except that I was sat next to a very large woman, in her thirties, who did not seem to understand the concept of
anti-perspirant deodorant. No wedding ring on her finger... not surprised really...
And English women sometimes question why we guys go on our search for FSU women?
and this one
Was this because I am 16yrs older than Miss A or maybe the Russian guys she had known were no good in bed? - I didn't push the question but I will ask her to explain when she feels ready.
These are your mistakes to ever think like that , one should never humiliate the women of his own country and plus the guys of other nation whom he never knew at all.....
About love before meeting, as being hopeless romantic person I can understand that and can feel why people are obsessed with those dreams and illusions for me it is normal but I know it is not right to love someone before meeting , someone said in the other topic that we maybe are mistaken calling it love, cos there are the other words for this feeling, some warm , kind great feeling towards the person I think it is a real big affection or a great will to Love it is like the first step before jumping into love
It is very nice to hear that your meeting went well and romantic and so wonderful , you were lucky.... I am sure if you had such a virtual great friendship connection it should lead to something quite more serious, though sometimes it happens other way around and all these illusions and will to love disappear with time when we get to know more the person , I am sure and I hope that wont happen in your case:)
and can I ask you a question for my personal research why the woman who is 16 years old younger ? why not the woman of your age, close to your age like 41-44 for example?
Why is that so tempting and attractive to have young person as one's partner?
Most of the guys claim here-" Oh I never searched in particularly for a younger girl it just happend so that she met my requirements and was so extremely understanding and not annoying as the other women it is just she is my fate , but I never actually searched for a young woman , I swear........."
Never makes sense to me anymore , i can hardly believe such guys who say the above words as an example I cited to you.......
Just am interested in this thing, I actually already know what will you answer, something , approximately the same but in the other words....
Anyway I am sure things should be nice and good with your lady and maybe you will be brave and surprise her in her hometown

)) and then maybe a wedding would come along:)
