Is not visiting the home and family a deal breaker

I seriously think a direct flight to Paris, rest a day or two, then on to Ukraine and Russia is a better idea. I'll head to Geneva first... visit family, then go from there.

Not a big fan of Paris, especially in the summer. Haven't been in 15 years so perhaps they have cleaned it up.

Only 123 days to Oktoberfest though.

Askanamericanman, if you want to ask the site administrator for my contact information I would like to talk to you. Or Google chippynews for my phone number.

Great progress report. Today I received this message from a LoversPlanet lady I have been coaching. How did this come about? I sent info about her to a friend and urged him to join LP. He said he enjoyed the photos but didn't want a Russian wife (I sent him 3 ladies in all). Oksana and I have been corresponding. Here's her report.
"Hi Bob! How are you? I'm good. I work and collect documents for a visa in Spain. Xxxx is a very good man. Next to him I feel good. He has a daughter, her 10 years. We talked about children. he is good to my son, he would be happy to make friends with him. I now know where to find his home in the USA - this is Illinois. Unfortunately, we do not have joint photos, I'm very upset about this. But I hope we do it in Spain. Have a nice day and all the best. Oksana"
I want to see a photo of them together and then I have suggested she should stop writing to me so he does not become jealous. I have never met Oksana, but I know men do not want to share their women! I am very happy for both of them (have no idea who Xxxx is other than his name).

Requested through the site.

Bob,

No response from the site. Give me a time and day and I will log into chat and pass you my info.

why dont you just fly the girl here to meet you? can,t you get a 60 day visa or something like that?

She will be a lot more relaxed if she feels safe and in her environment. Women get a lot of support and advice from each other so a meeting on her turf is more comfortable. I would say she should visit before you marry to see who you are day to day but I wouldn't start off that way.

Ladies, would you agree?

I agree with every word,

I am new to this and I don't really know if I am willing to travel there and put myself through any of this to meet someone who may or may not even show up. Why go through all of this when there are many american girls here to meet who are as I see it from what you guys are saying a lot more open to a good time on a date than what you guys are doing in Russia. I don't know. I date a lot on match.com and 75 percent of the women do not even look like their pictures and one was russian. In the picture she looked like a 10 but in person she had bad teeth. How may of you guys have met women from Eastern Europe with bad teeth.

erm... maybe you could use skype or the included video service and have them show you their teeth before you speak..

I think we start from a false idea, that this is a 'dating' site like match. This would be a bad place to date, seriously who spends 2 grand on a first date?

Think of this site as a primitive eHarmony. You are here to find the love of your life and get married. If teeth concern you, you test her on Skype. It is the same with everything you want. The right woman is here, you just have to find her. I started to doubt that but I renewed after three months anyway . A week later I found the woman I wanted, shortly after that we both pulled our profiles. Two messages a day turned in 5-10. We are a PERFECT MATCH. This story is very similar to Thumper and SolarB, so I am not the first. I have a piece of advice, work harder to win her heart than you have ever worked in your life, because she will be worth it!

If you are worried about a wasted trip, read on. I read a story once, and I don't remember where. The guy found a lady he liked, and by the time he got there she had a boyfriend and wasn't interested. In the town where she dumped him there was an agency for Russian women looking for foreign husbands. He met several ladies on the trip, and had dinner and lunch with them. Go to see the one you want, but you can always come up with a backup plan if she gets cold feet and doesn't show up.

If you choose carefully you will end up with a better wife than an American man could hope for. Just be sure you deserve her.

Russian dating is not for the weak willed ,before you start you have to decide if your prepared to travel thousands of miles and perhaps more than once ,spend a fair amount of money and then go through the legal system of visa's. Before you start ask yourself if you can a) deal with a long distance relationship b) go through the higher than normal expense c) deal with the visa requirements . If you answer "NO" to any of these walk away now. If you answers "YES" then you are in the right place .

I can say one thing from personal experience that when you find the woman for you and you for her she we be 100% loyal & honest and give as much to you as you do to her. It is without doubt i can honestly say its the best descision i have ever made in my life. Eastern women have very strong values and providing thats what your looking for you wont find this same strength in western women .

So if its for you ,lots of luck and use skype to help .

Thank you Thumper for your post. I can say that you are right 100% about a) b) c)
Russian dating only for strong men who really wants to have family not to play games, not every man able to wait so long and to go through this moments and you are right again - Eastern women have very strong values and providing thats what your looking for

It seems that you are looking for horse (it's one of the criterion that this horse is healthy and not very old)
I think it's much better to have not good teeth (you can change it and repair them) and not empty head than vice versa look this first
