Hello all,
this is my first time posting to this forum. i have been searching for a uw/rw woman for 9 years. i have come close a few times, but each times, something waved me off. after reading a lot of posts here, i am glad i am taking the long view to this. i am going to fly to the Ukraine next year and i hope one of the ladies i am emailing now is the one i have been looking for. any advise would be helpful, i do not want to marry a lady and have it crash and burn a few years later. thank you all and i wish you all a good one.

Hi there Jag! Welcome to the forum 
9 years, ha? Long time!

Welcome Jaguar,
Yes, no one comes with a guaranty so a cautious approach is understandable.

Hi Jaguar,

were you using a similar nick in the past on other forums ?

Advice #1, above and beyond all:  Don't give up.  While it is not impossible to marry the first woman you meet (since I almost did), the chance of hitting the jackpot on your first roll of the wheel is small.  Most of us had to go there multiple times and meet multiple women before hitting our individual jackpots.

Advice #2:  Watch out for scammers and visa whores, but don't let their existence turn you off to the whole process.  There are many good women out there, much more than the scammers and visa whores.  It is just a matter of sorting out the wheat from the chaffe.

Advice #3:  Share your experiences here, since most of us have been there and done that and can help you avoid the landmines by telling you about the landmines we stepped on.

Advice #4:  Read what is out there.  You will find lots of good reads on what to do and not do.  A good place for it is Elena's Models, even if you are not an EM client.

Welcome to RWD.  I hope we can help you here.

Hi Jaguar! Nice to see you here I am pleasantly surprised with your persistence, 9 years of search, you deserve a respect. I think, if you continue that way, plus if you are clever and careful, then you will reach your aim. Just be smart and listen to members' advice and everything should be fine.
Good luck!

My experience is limited but I would suggest that you not tell women that you have been writing for 9 years without making a trip. You don't want them to think that you are a keyboard Romeo.
