BTW...I think there should be an 11th Commandment (10 years or less age difference and NO schoolgirls!)  :evil:

And I'll bet you a beer in Kiev that if your wife had been 11.5 years younger than you you'd have set that particular bar a weee bit higher and married her anyway, for all the same reasons

My Ex was ten years and a few months younger than me and I was stupid, yes I said stupid. It wouldn't have made any difference if our ages were closer.

My fav niece is 23.5 years younger than her husband of seven years. They have 3 kids and are still very much in love. Sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. Though I do have to say I personally believe you are stacking the deck against yourself if you go too far one way or the other.

I don't think it's a red flag particularly if the girl doesn't want to meet in her hometown the first time - but it's definitely a red flag when it's like Sculpto's girl who NEVER wanted him to visit her hometown. 

Dont misquote me Kuna.  I never said she said "never".  The issue was during her Fathers illness.  Now that he has passed I am not only welcome but invited.

Scultpo,

I call BS when I see it and I call BS on your stories.

You've NEVER ever visited your girl in her hometown and you make excuses for that - it's OK, you're allowed to dream. If you EVER get there you'll be a step closer to reality but until then, you can only dream about what MIGHT be.

Fact is you could have visited her hometown without intruding on her fathers deathbed.  There are many strange things about the behaviour and excuses you encourage in her...  MANY strange things.

I know any advice offered to you (by others - I can't be bothered) is ignored - but I would hate to think future newbies would come and read your stories and accept the artistic excuses and elaborations as being somehow normal or acceptable.

It's most DEFINITELY a red flag that "your girl" has NEVER wanted you in her hometown. 



May I add... My wife and I met outside her hometown for our first meeting too - and then even though we arranged for her to come back to Kiev at the end of my trip, she also invited me to her hometown - even though it was for just one night.

I arrived in the afternoon,  she took me somewhere closely associated with her place of work (i.e. so I could see, and be seen by friends and workmates) and then we went for dinner.  Back to her apartment and up early for the trip back to Kiev.  It was a small but powerful statement about how she felt.

I am glad you said this Kuna.

I have been thinking about this for the last couple of month's, BUT...I just didn't have the heart to say it.

I like you Sculpto, you are a free spirit.

IMO, you exemplify the California "lifestyle".

However, I do worry about the "wrong information" that is being disseminated to any Newbies when they read your epic adventure (I won't call it a relationship yet).

BTW Sculpto.....I noticed that you like to quote songs in some of your postings. I suppose in your mind these songs capture the "essence" of the feelings in your soul (at that moment).

When I read your post's, there is a song from the 80's that comes to my mind.  :evil:

I would like to share it with you Sculpto:

That's the big issue with dating sites - there is the danger of scams. You have to be very careful when you look for a partner on a dating site - you should take your time to get to know him and request more than one picture to minimize the risk that the person sends you a fake picture. Nowadays video chat is also a good option. And you can also go for serious online dating sites by checking reviews and recommendations of others on the web. There are mentions of bad dating sites in various forums.

There are full service agencies with similar problems. The Ten commandments are the basics, and if you can not adhere tou them its aways a danger.

This site belongs to Anastasia , if I am not mistaken. ))))

.. but how will MOST men find a woman to develop a relationship with IF none of us were to use Dating sites.

I think the key to success is much more complex that the above statement - and the many appropriate paths have already been documented in RWD many times before.  I just can't accept "Stay away from dating sites" as being good advice.

Kuna you can't possibly be serious. With this mentality men are sure to get ripped off over and over again.  I believe in face to face meetings, get to know the woman well and don't dare marry her without at least a years time together. It will fail, most of them do. The USA is FULL of failed marriages between FSU women and AM. The SCAM sites run deep. My guess is among all the thousands of dating sites out there, you can count on one hand the ones who are not mafia owned scam sites.  Yes, one hand.
