Let the adventure begin
« on: June 12, 2005, 04:48:08 PM »
List,

I recently had ended my previous relationship with a woman in Chernovtsy because she was deceitful, betrayed my trust, and cheated on me while we were engaged.  It took me several months and a trip to Ukraine (as a tourist) to get over this woman and begin again.  We had a four year relationship, but somewhere along the line she decided the local boyfriend was more convienent.  Well as it turns out, her marriage lasted about three months until the Ukrainian male decided he didn't like all the stress from baby crying.  Besides his physical and verbal abuse, he used her to acquire a new car.

That's my history with Galina.  This weekend I began a new search and a new hope that the next FSU woman will have integrity, honesty, fidelity, and become my wife. 

So far I am enjoying the new adventure.  I had already received letters from a couple of women closer to my age and had written several.  I suspect over the next few weeks my quest will narraow down a few women I want to visit.

I never posted a profile before or sought a woman through the internet dating sites, so this is interesting to me.  My prior relationships were either by chance or introduction.

So my question for all is this; does it get any better?  Is writing to many ladies a blast or is it the initial quest that make you charged up?  I'm blowing some smoke but just curious if others have felt the same excitement as I am going through now?

I know it's going to be a long, slow process, but I have the opportunity to visit Ukraine again this year so I should get some initial "feel" for our compatiability within a few month.

Cheers,

Jon

Jon,

I think the lessons you learned from the first adventure will be of great value to you. You've "been there, done that" and you view this completely different than before.

wxman,

True, but this is number three.  I believe in developing a relationship so sometimes I go a little slow.  But I have learned that non of the women I met so far were what I wanted in the long run. 

It is an opportunity to meet a woman who will become my best friend and share all what life has to offer.  I am a single parent, so I know what many of these women must do to protect and care for their children.

Cheers,

Jon

You say you had a 4 year relationship and she cheated. Of course she did. Unless you were spending alot of time over there I can see why.  Goodluck in the future and this time when you meet a good girl you might want to think about pulling the trigger a little sooner.

Greg,

It's a long story, but you're so right.  Part of the problem was moving to Holland and she couldn't join me because her visa was denied.  It took time off the clock.  Then I had lost my contract and had to find work in the states.  That too took more time off the clock.  So it became a slow drag to get something going where we could be together.  Unfortunately by the time I got things straigthened out, she already doink the local guy.

Next time I will set a narrow window of opportunity.

Corncrowe -

I hate to hear about guys going through late flights / cancelled flights and lost luggage etc.  Any history on your lost baggage legs ie. airlines etc.  That could be very helpful to prospective flyers.  

 

thanks,

 

Bruce

Hi Bruce,

What I meant by "lost baggage" was "losing the baggage" to begin a new relationship.  I'm not sure if that's the same, although quite possibly, as losing luggage on a flight. 

My personal experiences with flying are good.  I've never lost luggage, hadn't had a flight cancelled or delayed except the return to Dallas in May.  I can't remember any really bad experiences going through Borispol either.  Darn, I guess my travel experiences are nearly as exciting.  Believe it or not, but I've moved thirty times in five years.  Lived in three countries, too many cities to count, and changed my living arrangements three times since returning from Holland in 2003.  I did do quite a bit of travelling, but almost always arrived safely with baggage in tow. 

But losing baggage can be a good thing if you want to talk about women...:D
