Hello everyone. I want to share my experience too. I began to use dating sites approximately five years ago. After my wife’s death I could not get over it and I couldn’t get acquainted with women in the street. So I got in touch with dating sites. I have tried about 40 sites. I will not list them all, but believe me, all the sites that you know – I’ve been there. There are good, there bad, there are clearly fraudulent sites. Several times I’ve become a victim of fraud and sent the money for the tickets, surgeries, expensive medicines, even for food and clothes for poor parents of those women. Of course there were only lies. Yes I was a fool several times. And then I met my wife, Masha. This is the best woman in my life, I love her so much. She differs from all the women that I’ve met before her. She is very kind, attentive, educated, loving. Masha is not mercantile and greedy. The only problem during our acquaintance was that Masha did not speak English. It was very difficult to communicate. We did not know what to do. But we found solution for our problem. We found translation service on the internet. We started to communicate on that site in September. Two months later she came to me for our first meeting. By the way she bought the tickets on her own. Next time I came to her in Moscow and offered her my hand. And then we got married … Oh, such a perfect day it was!
So on that site there are still a lot of women, really good women who want to find love. Their only drawback is that they do not speak foreign languages and that’s why they feel awkward. And it’s such a pity that on some sites women cheat men and are only interested in money for tickets, etc. And on the other sites women try and really want a relationship. Maybe my advice will help someone.
