How did you meet?
« on: March 20, 2010, 09:08:12 PM »
 This is for RW who are currently or previously  married to a foreign man 
or involved with a foreign man.

We have so many men  askng whicj agency is reliable ,which fre sites are good ,or other methods !
 Granted  this is  very small sample group !
but still it would be interesting to know how RW here
met their partners ,which, way and if  a dating site or agency ,which?

(and yes a completely understand those who do not wish to answer)

It was my curiosity with brought us together. In 1999 it was first time I was able to get on-line. We didn't have Internet before :( So I was curious to talk to people form different cities and around the world. Also, I wanted to practice my English. At that time I had no idea what word matchmaker mean, so I posted my information on Christianmatchmaker.com thinking that it was just forum for Christians. At that time I had no idea how different are datingsites and forums are. Sorry, I cannot give you any information about datingsites - didn't use any :) But that was the way our relationship started.

We met via free dating site freepersonals.ru, it was fall 2005. He wrote to me first and after 3,5 months we met each other - resulted in 4 years of living together (hopefully we will have more and more happy years ahead of us).

Hi Andrew :)

My SO found me on RussianEuro.com, the first and the last (hopefully :rolleyes2: ) dating site I've ever used :)
I'll tell you the story later (if I haven't yet lol) in the chat, if you want to!

I'd love to hear it again, from the beginning.. Did you meet before or during his Mideast assignment?. :)

AJ,

Please pardon me as I a take a tangent slightly off the topic.


...

mies,

Unlike most people, you understand yourself, particularly the reasons for your emotions and feelings, and you are not shy about sharing them with us.  You always write insightfully.  Thus, upon seeing that you have deleted your post, I feel that I am missing something  interesting. 

I recall last year that you wrote a glorious story about meeting your husband for the first time and what set him apart from the multitude of your other male admirers.  So I searched the archives with the goal of finding that delightful story and linking it to this thread.

It too is missing.  All I could find is this:

Mies,

Beautiful story; many would call it destiny.  Thank you for sharing. 

Those men who metaphorically would sleep at your door --- they never had a chance.


I had recommended to Dan that the story was too important to be forgotten, and that it should be given a special place.  Then I disappeared for a while and don't know what happened.

Where is your story?

P. S.  For the newbies interested in learning more about the mentality of one RW, I suggest that your surf through mies's posts.  Her writings are very revealing without being argumentative.

mies is not a RW, I believe.
After the fall of communism, the biggest mistake Boris Yeltsin's regime made was not to disband the KGB altogether. Instead it changed its name to the FSB and, to many observers, morphed into a gangster organisation, eventually headed by master criminal Vladimir Putin. - Gerard Batten

I always thought Mies was a female.  Her profile she created says female.

mies is not a RW, I believe.

Mies is definitely a native Russian speaker and has said that she is a woman.
