Turboguy & Turbodude's First Dream tour

[Gator]

I like Vibrant and Winsome.

Turbo, be nice to her or she may change it to: Vengeful and Wicked.

[Vaughn]

Maybe it stands for "watchful" since she did her homework.
TG, I sure hope it doesn't mean Warhead, LOL. I wish the
both of you luck and smooth sailing.

Turbo, я хочу представить вопрос в ребром, literally,
I want to put a question to the ribs (a pointed question):
given your woman's obvious ability with the English language,
and fully recalling the "Is communication necessary?" thread,
would you now have any second thoughts about struggling
through a relationship without a common language?  

Really, I'm happy for you two.

Vaughn

[Turboguy]

You got it watchful  The reason is exactly what you said. She came here to watch and learn about me and to find out who I really was. After all guys will tell a girl anything. Pretty smart gal. I have always been attracted to the inner person. It is hard to reach the inner person with no common language.

[SANDRO43]

Hell Vaughn, you beat me to it .

I had just reached the end of WAR- when you posted (Vocally Wacky, Virtually Wading, Vertically Wagging, Venereally Wanton, Vulnerably Waggish, Vainly Wailing, Variably Waisted, Vibrantly Waiting, Vociferous Waitress, Vastly Waiving, Venturesome Walker, Virtuoso Warbler, Vigilantly Warning, Volubly Warlike, Verifiably Warranted, Vindictively Wary) and WAT- was so tantalisingly close.

However, she is also Visibly Wrong (re her opinion of JB ).

[Turboguy]

Well Sandro this thread seems to have a bit of magic to it. So far we have been able to get my son in love and me in love. Perhaps we can ger you in love with jb next.  Sorry I can't stick a smily face in here from my blackberry.

[SANDRO43]

Sorry I can't stick a smily face in here from my blackberry.

Turbs, aren't you "mature" enough to remember dumb terminals ?

:-)        |:-()           ):-))       (:-()      ||:- (( 

[Turboguy]

Yes,  I usually used ;-). & :-(  in fact I used a bunch in one of the 800 E-Mails I sent to VWRW today.

[PeeWee]

What are you guys reading? 

She IS interested in Turbo (see above), but regrets that she will not be able to spend all HER life with  him cuz he likely will be gone first.  But does desire the years they can have together.

That's my interpretation of the meaning behind her words...

I read it the same way, Angelo. I had not been paying attention to this thread since page 10. I was thinking that I would hate to have a RW that I was interested in not only find this forum but have  you lads involved in my one on one. Talk about a 90 way relationship. Don't read me wrong. Everyone of you are offering some well meaning advice. But this is almost like bringing your lady to a frat party and she is the only lady lady at the party.

Peewee

[PeeWee]

Ok. I caught up. I have but two things to say Turbodude. You already know that you are one of the lads that I most care about and now I can tell that your lady has those good qualities that we all wish that we could discover in those FSU ladies that we hope yet to find.

PS....little Peevee Junior met a RW at his university two weeks ago. Until then he had been dating Asian ladies. Seems that all changed when the RW put the whammy on him. Good that dad has 5 or 6 years time in grade. I have been very helpful with the good advices for him thus far.

So you have been caught by the short and curlies....ha ha ha

And you thought you were smart...... poor Turbo....

Small suggestion..... remember that I was nearly called stupid because I always say the truth???????

Now make bloody sure you do not tell her any porkies anymore and of course Speaking good English it makes a huge difference to any relationship. No ifs and buts as before my friend!

Wish all the best of luck to both of you and I hope by the time I am back from Russia I will hear some more developments.

[Turboguy]

Thanks PeeVee & Wiz. It is snowing in Moscow now. I have a feeling it will not be the last Russian snow I see this year. My plane home is in a few hours.
Good luck to PeeVee jr & to you Wiz with your visit to Sofia

[PeeWee]

Snow. Lena was telling me today that they have not turned the heat on in the buildings in her city yet. I wonder if they must first find several frozen citizens before they decide that it is now time to heat the homes?

Snow. Man. It is not even Nowember yet.

Thanks Turbo and have a good flight back home!

Snow in Moscow....Brrrrrrrrrr I better take my thermo underwear ....LOL

The weather forecast shows a lot of rain in Sterlitamak.......not encouraging but who cares.

[Bruce]

I know its great Turbo has found someone who trumpets that she is in to him  (yea!!!), but one five day meeting does not a marriage make.  It will take time and effort on both of their parts until they are truly ready for a K-1 etc.  Yes, its definitely worth another meeting for Turbo, perhaps as a vacation for both of them in Moscow, St. Petersburg or elsewhere (Baranul is just so limited (I stayed there two days once so I know)) in the World.  Unless they plan on hiking, hunting and fishing there really is not much to do outside of the bedroom in that portion of the FSU.  So, Turbo - now do you subscribe to the one week wonder phenomenon?  I hope not, though you know with experience and time in the FSU, a guy is able to sort out what he wants and what he does not want, which makes the meeting curve alot shorter.  English on her part does have a way of speeding things up quite a bit.  However, not to douse out the flame, and I really look forward to meeting you two some day, but realistically you have a while to go  . 

[vwrw]

Yes, Bruce, you are right Barnaul has lack of amusements compared with most Russian’s cities. Yes, there is not much to do of the outside of the bedroom. Perhaps, because of that, despite on foreign men rare visit my area the number of women who left Russia by K-1 is largest. It is statistics' data.
It is Barnaul.

[Michelangelo]

So, Turbo - now do you subscribe to the one week wonder phenomenon?  I hope not, though you know with experience and time in the FSU, a guy is able to sort out what he wants and what he does not want, which makes the meeting curve a lot shorter. 

Not quiet the same, Bruce. 

A true one week wonder is inexperienced and is thus "blown" away by the beauty and allure of the girl. 

As you later said, Turbo is different because he is so experienced and knows what he is getting into.

[Albert]

Yes, Gator, passion with an older man will not equal what a woman would feel with a good looking man her age. In my case the passion with Turbo was 100% better!

Nice going Turbo.  Gathering points for the over 50 gang.

To vwrw.  Sorry that I was perhaps a little harsh in my first post.  I was working with incomplete info.  :-))

[viking]

I will give you a hint or two. First when she said the first two words were wrong she meant the phrase but not neccesarily both actual words. Next hint the W is not wonderful or wise and when you figure it out you will say "of couse". In other words it will make sense. Ok. Have at it.

Ok T/G. Times up!!! Spill the beans.

[Moscvichka]

It is even not funny ....Poor naive Americans... 

[groovlstk]

TG & vwrw, a belated congrats to you both, I hope this is just the start of something big.

TG, did you feel or hear that click the moment you realized she was everything you expected and much more and, more importantly, that she was totally into you? I think back to when this happened to me, after that I couldn't believe how easy everything became. Until that point my search seemed so complicated and full of danger and uncertainty at every turn, then suddenly it was the easiest thing in the world and I didn't understand why it had taken me so long to find her.

[PeeWee]

"I will give you a hint or two. First when she said the first two words were wrong she meant the phrase but not neccesarily both actual words. Next hint the W is not wonderful or wise and when you figure it out you will say "of couse". In other words it will make sense. Ok. Have at it."

Turbo, I did not see the phrase.

[Jet]

Viking and PeeWee go back one page and re-read it with a very watchful eye 

[SANDRO43]

Moskvichka, a word of advice from a non-American : if you don't QUOTE or otherwise cite what you are referring to, it's hard for anybody to understand what you do not find funny.

Turbo & VWRW,
A new love is so very exciting!  It can be a most overwhelming experience to be caught up in emotions that flow freely during that sweet courtship time.  It is also a time that one can ignore even the most obvious short comings of the budding relationship.  Passion and lust can easily blur the reality of any situation.  I say all this, not to rain on anyone's parade, but to attempt to have our good ol' friend Turbo and new friend VWRW to keep in focus some very big challenges they face in the future.

A relationship with a 30 (something) year age gap is far from a slam dunk.  In fact, the chances of long term success is rather slim.  That doesn't mean that you two don't go for "the gold", but be aware of the mountain you will have to climb.  In my opinion, a successful marriage/relationship with such a gap in ages takes two very unique individuals and a whole lot of love.  I know of what I speak because of the 8 year relationship I have with my much (26 years) younger wife.

Can you two:
Develop a relationship that has a rock core of trust and honesty? (The slightest amount of jealousy or mistrust will easily destroy your relationship)

Cope with the tremendous criticism others will openly display of your relationship? (Everyone will have an opinion of why the two of you are together and even strangers on the street will offer it up to you)

Develop a relationship strong enough where you both will have separate interests without drifting apart? (No matter how much in common you think you have, there will be big differences later)

Agree on the future decision of children?  (Also allow for the very good chance that the lady may change her mind on this subject in the future)

Develop a relationship strong enough to withstand being ostracized from both the younger and older circle of friends?  (With the age gap neither group of friends will understand)

Be secure enough in yourselves to always know you made the right decision? (The slightest insecurity will destroy a large age gap relationship in a micro-second)

Understand that no matter how successful and happy your time together will be, there more likely will be another phase of life ahead for the younger woman?  (This is more than just a financial plan, it also involves a future emotional adjustment)

These are just some of the additional challenges that your relationship will face piled onto the great many that a cross cultural marriage also faces.  Can you handle it?  If you can or think you can, then you two "kids" have fun and enjoy your new love!  Just keep your eyes open to what lies ahead, even if everything else comes together in a perfect way.  Best of luck to you both.

This is old news to Turbo, he's been here and done that before.
