# Details: Typical scam, after every email her feelings for me became stronger, and I started to like her, but not as much as she "claimed" to like me. She would answer some of questions, and ask me questions as well, so it made me to believe that my emails were being read, whether it was really her, thats something I cant honestly answer, could have been some guy for all I know. rnrnAnyways, Im suspicious to anyone that Im correspondence with, as I think everyone should be, but after 8 emails she claims that she would like to come visit me, by meeting me would be "the logicalrncontinuation of our relations". I find it rather amusing that she never seen a picture (I never post my pic), and I never spoke to her on the telephone which I thought would have been the next logical step in a correspondence (Read email #5 from her regarding telephone, pics, etc), but I guess in that part of the world, women dont care how you look, or what you sound like, they will be willing to travel across the world to someone they just the emailed. Also she claimed to have thought of me while she is asleep, I guess maybe its just me, but I cant think of somebody in my sleep, if I dont know how they look like. Who knows, she might have had ESP (lol).rnrnAnyways when she tried to pull the scam, I laid it on thick by claiming my feelings were strong but I needed information about her in order to send the money. But I think she was wise, since she knew I wasnt 100% sure of her travelling to me, she claimed that she never received my reply to her email about wanting to meet me (coincidence??), then she claimed she didnt understand what I was trying to say to another reply (another coincidence??). But in reality I was trying to get as much information about her, in order to report her :). rnrnemail #1 from herrnHello Stephen, I’m very glad that you had painted your attention at me. I believe that we will like each other and our communication and friendship will become something more one day. I am 22 y.o. I was bornrnon 07 July 1985.rn rnI live in a small town with my parents in a cozy and nice house. I live here since my childhood, I love this place because everything is familiar here for me. Its a good nature around here in our place. My parents are very nice people. They live in a marriage more than 30rnyears and I can see how they love each other and support each other. And I’m dreaming to create such united and friendly family one day:)rn rnA few words about myself. I’m a student . I have a lot of friends and like to meet with them. We spend much time together we like to walk around our place, meet in some cafes, go to a cinema a specially if a very good movie is shown, we talk about our luck and bad luck. I’m very sincere and easy going person. Besides I’m very romantic and kind girl. I dont want to bother a lot by my biography, may be you have some special questions?? You can ask me of course:)rn rnI like pets and gardening, flowers, cooking, sport... just everything! and you???rn rnI know English quite well. I learned it at school so there will be no problem in communicating. I hope that you will like me and I like you too:) I fell very lonely without my second half in spite of the factrnthat I have a lot of friends . I will be waiting for your letter with impatience. My warmest regards to you! Sincerely yours Natalia.rnrnREPLY #1rnrnHello Natalia,rnrnLet me first off say that I’m sorry for taking so long to respond to your email, but I’ve been pretty busy at work, with the hockey playoffs going on now (remember I’m Canadian, I have to watch hockey, but unlucky for me that my team didn’t make the playoffs L), and with every day of spring so far has been cloudy and rain, and by the time hockey is over, I’m pretty much too tired to get on the computer, but I promise you that I will respond quicker next time. Well as to you regarding whether I read your first email, the question is yes, since I feel it is important to get know you, and the only way to get to know you is by reading your emails, and learning more about you, and I hope you feel the same way as do, and who knows, maybe something positive will come out this correspondence. I guess I should tell you a little about myself such as to what type of dishes I like, I guess I would have to say my grandmother’s cooking (especially her perogies, cabbage rolls, and borscht), Mexican, Italian, and Canadian/American foods, but I’m always willing to try something new as long as it isn’t too spicy and doesn’t contain seafood, but I’m trying to learn to cook healthier things for myself, and I would like to think I’m an ok cook that needs a little practice. Maybe one day, I can cook a meal for you, it probably won’t be as good as your cooking, but I guess it would be the thought that counts, what do you think about that??.rnrnWell I love to watch comedy movies, I think it’s nice to sit back and just relax to a good comedy movie, since it helps to forget about the problems that are going on around the world, but I really love to watch non-fictional movies based on historical figures, such as Michael Collins (one of my favorites), and Schindlers’s List (probably my favorite movie of all time, I still shed a tear when I watch it (lol, please don’t laugh) when I watch it), and American gangster. But when it comes to movies, I usually will watch it for 5 minutes or so, and decide whether or not I should continue to watch it or not, I like to give every movie a chance since sometimes the movie will surprise me when I’m expecting that the movie won’t be good, and then after watching it I completely change my mind on the movie. But there was one movie “Vertical Limit”, that I tried to watch, but I fell asleep 5 minutes into the movie, only movie I ever fell asleep to, and the funny thing is my friends who also had seen the film as well said they also fell asleep to it within 10 minutes or so, so if there is time when you can’t sleep watch that movie, in 5 minutes or so you will be asleep, I guarantee it.rnrnWell as for music, it all depends on the type of mood I’m in, like if I feel like just sitting back and relaxing then I’ll listen to some nice classical music, when I feel like I need something to keep me up, then some nice Rock’n’Roll always helps. I guess I would have to say if you were to ask me what is my favorite music to listen to, I guess I probably would have to say Rock from the 70’s and 80’s, some pop, RandB, and dance. But I don’t really don’t have a favorite singer, since I basically like all types of music, and I guess I’m the same way with music as I am with my movies, I’m willing to listen to it for a bit and if it sounds good then I’ll continue to listen or I’ll just look for another song to listen to.rnrnWell the type of soul mate I would like to find, I would like to find someone who is loving, honest, and trustworthy, someone who shares some interests with me, and is willing to try new things, since I think it is important for couple to share interests with each other so they do activities that they both would enjoy doing together as a couple. Well I’ve just start to look for serious relationship only recently, but I take relationships very seriously, especially if the relationship leads to marriage, so before I make the decision to for the relationship to go that far, I would like to be 100% sure that my decision if the right choice and the girl is 100% sure that she made the right choice as well, in regards to marriage. I’m sure there is someone special out there for me; I feel that there is someone special for everyone, just the problem of finding that one person. As for the near future, I would just like to start correspondence with a special lady that I hope will turn into something really positive for her and I.rnrnWell enough about myself, and I don’t want to make this letter any longer that it may bore you, but I would like to continue this correspondence with you in hopes of something positive will come out this. Well I would like to know more about you, and I hope you will want to know more about me, and so if there is any questions you would like to ask me, don’t be shy and ask (no matter how personal they, I will try to answer them), and I hope you will do the same if I was to ask you something, even though I can’t think of any questions to ask you at the moment, I’m sure in the future I will be able to think of something J.rnrnWell I really hope to hear from you soon,rn StephenrnrnLetter #2 from herrnrnHello Stephen!rn rnYou even cant imagine how much i wanted to check my mail and read your letter but all these May holidays just blocked everything in my country and nothing worked alsmost 10 days!! And even my friend didntrnhave iunternet, something was happened with connection and she had to wait till her provider can work. And i am very happy now that i have this opportunituy. To tell the truth I was thinking about you and evenrnwas afarid that if I cant reply you you can think that I have found another man and can forget me as well:( and it makes me really sad!rnrnBut anyway, tell me what happened for last these days??rn rnGlad to get a letter from you! So, why I decide to look for my second half in the internet and not in the streets or cafes or cinemas or some other places... The first reason that it is quite difficult to find a reliable and caring husband in my country I want to tell that my mother was a lucky to find my father but there are no such honest men. May be there are some but I have never met them on my way. The second one that the statistics says internet dating is proving a muchrnmore successful way to find long-term romance and friendship for thousands of people. And I want to believe in it. Some of my friends have already found love in the internet and they are happy now. Few ofrnthem even got married already. My friend Masha got married with American man 3 years ago. They live in Florida now and have a baby already. She sent me some pictures of baby, such a lovely boy. We are good friends with her and trying to keep in touch. An other my friend also found her love on this site. She got married with Italian man and she has been living in Milan now with him for a year. Isn’t it greatrnwhen two hearts find each other and live in happy and harmony? Do you have any friends who have already found their love in the Internet and happy how together? I dream about meeting a perfect match on therninternet and hope I won’t be disappointed by men. I’m family-oriented and dream to fine my the only man on this site. I wish you to have a nice day! With all my respect, Natalia. rnrnREPLY #2rnrnrn Hello Natalia,rn rn Well I hope all is well with you, and that you are doing fine :). Well this spring has been pretty bad here, its usually cloudy and the weather is more like autumn weather than it is spring, I think there has been only a handful of days that I actually seen some sunshine :(, which makes it worse since we had a pretty bad winter, no that it was cold but we got a lot more snow than usual. Well dont worry about having to reply to my letter immediately, since always happy to read them when ever I get them so I can learn more about you, as a person. If I remember correctly, and I may be wrong about this, is a major holiday of some sort. Well Im glad that you havent found a man yet, and Im pretty surprised at that as well, since from what I can tell you very nice, attractive girl such as yourself has yet been able to find a decent man for herself, or at least in correspondence with some, if you are, its okay, since I think its a big decision for you to decide who you think would make a great husband for yourself.rn rnWell as I mentioned earlier the weather here hasnt been any good at all, it sort of depressing considering the winter with all the snow that there hasnt been a day where it was really nice to go out and do something, so with the weather the way it is, makes it difficult for me to want to go out and do something, so Ive just been working, reading, and just plain relaxing. My friends asked me a couple times to go to the casino, but I really dont like to gamble at all, so Ive been staying home and relaxing, which is helpful since my shoulder has been really bothering me the past couple days (I think Ive might of pulled something :(). Well, I believe that love can be found over the internet, I guess it takes a little luck finding that special someone, but when you find that special someone, it makes it all the worth while, dont you agree?. I know of some friends who found love over the internet, one of them is married to the girl he met over the internet, and the other is soon to be married to the girl he met over the internet. Funny thing is, the one who is already married to the girl he met on the internet, he used to laugh at me when I told him about the internet, and that it is possible to find love over the internet, so he tried one time, met a women that he felt was "the one" and he married her, and Im happy for him that he was able to meet that special someone. But as far as I know, to be honest, I dont know of anyone that has found love with someone who lives on the other side of the world :(, Im not saying its not possible, since Im sure there has been some successful relationships that developed with two different people who lived on different sides of the world.rn rnIm looking for that special someone as well, that special person, whom ever she may be, and when I decide to marry I havent found yet (who knows, it could be you :)), Im sure it will be best decision that I every made. Well I dont want to bore you, and I hope you havent fallen asleep reading my email, but I would like to know what you for in a future husband??, and what ever else you would like to tell me about yourself, so I can learn more about you, and I hope you will learn more about me as well.rn rnYours Truly,rn StephenrnrnEmail #3 from herrnrnHello Stephen! How are you? As for me I’m great. And do you know why? Because it’s a pleasure to get a letter from you. It makes me happier. As I’ve already written you I’m very romantic person and I’m very active. I like to be in a fresh air. And in summer I always try to spend a few weeks near the sea. I also like sport and trying to keep myself in a good shape. In my free time I go to the swimming pool. I’m swimming very well. Also I practice yoga sometimes. In my childhood Irnliked bicycling. Now I’m doing it not so often because actually I don’t have a good bicycle. What about you do you like sport? What about my other hobbies... I like to do a lot of things:) I prefer to read romances and books about adventures and of course as everyone Irnlook through newspapers and magazines just to be well informed. As for movies, I prefer to watch historical romantically ones and of course comedies. It’s so fun.rn rnAn other my hobby is gardening and cooking. I have a lot of cooking books. My mother is working hard so I’m trying to help her. I like our national cousine and I think that every person should know national dishes, and every girl should know how to cook it of course!! You know they say that when a person can cook he has a soul, do you agree with this statement? Have you ever tried Ukrainian food? Would you like to try one day? I like to taste different kinds of cousine butrnunfortunatle here in my city we dont have a lot of restaurants with a cousine of the whole world:( but anyway I hope that in the nearest future I can taste some of them:)rn rnActually I dont have an Internet at home so I visit Internet clubs and cafes, or just use it at my friends . But we are going to buy one and may be soo I can have it at my room!!!rnrnI’m looking forward to hear from you soon.rnHave a good day!rnSincerely yours, Natalia.rnrnReply #3rnrnrn Hello Natalia,rn rn How are you??, Im glad you are feeling great. Well this weekend was Victoria Day weekend, its a holiday in canada where we celebrate Queen Victorias birthday (some former queen of england), and just basically used the time to spend some quiet at home, and spend some time with friends. I guess people just celebrate the holiday because it gives them a day off, and they can legally shoot fireworks, so I guess its okay, but Im still anxiously awaiting for some warm weather to come. Well Im glad to hear that you are happy about our correspondence, and that you are very positive about it, it makes me happy knowing that this relationship is going in the right direction, but I would like to start up a good family, but the only way of doing that is by really getting to know each other, and learning more about each, since to have a strong family the husband and wife must have strong relationship with each other to allow it to happen. Personally, I dont think there is a perfect relationship, there will be ups and downs in a relationship, its being able to overcome the downs that makes a relationship stronger, knowing that no matter what happens, that they will still have each other.rn rn rnWell Im not what you call an active person in sports, but Im trying to get back into some sports in order to get back into shape, it doesnt hurt to do some excercises once in a while, but I enjoy hockey, tennis, going for long walks, I used to like biking, but I havent gotten around to getting myself a new bike so Ive done it in a while. Well, I like to spend my time watching documentaries about historical figures, important battles from war, crime, and of nature. I also like to read on the internet about about everything important going on around the world, since I think that it is important to be a little informed about what is happening around world, and why it is happening. Well as for movies, as long as the movie doesnt contain singing or dance (I think ive watched enough of those), Im always willing to watch the move, but I would if the movie was base on some historical figures and events, adventure, or a good comedy film is always good to watch as well (they are usually good to watch and relax too :) ).rn rnWell I guess the closest thing Ive had to Ukrainian food is Russian food, I think, Im not sure if they are close, but I would like to think they are somewhat close, but Im always willing to try new foods as long as it isnt too spicy or contains fish (I try to avoid eating fish for personal reasons), but hopefully one day I can try one of your tasty Ukrainian dishes. Recently Ive tried my luck with cooking, and I think I need practice, but Im not bad for a beginner, people can eat my food without getting sick which is always a good sign, so I think Im on the right track when it comes to cooking, so I hope can get some more practice cooking so I can cook some delicious meals for my future wife, and I hope that she will enjoy my cooking as well I enjoy hers.rnrnWell I would like to know more about you, like what bothers you, what do you hate, and what ever you feel like telling me about yourself, dont be shy, express yourself, and I hope to hear from you soon.rn rnYours Truly,rn StephenrnrnEmail #4 from herrnrnHello Stephen, I was reading your letter with a pleasure, thank you for it. I would like to know msomething special about you. Here is my questions:rnDo you think we can be together in the future? What is the most importent for you in the womans charakter?rnWhat dont you like when woman does? What do you like when woman does? When you were crazy fallen in love with someone last time? What is the most beautiful part in a woman by your opinion? rn rnI dream about creating a happy family. Now a lot of women thinking about career first and consider it the most important in their lives. But for me I know that the family is the first priority in my life, for me is very important to have a kind, sincere and loving partner. With whom I can share happiness and all my fillings. I want to love and to be loved in return I want my husband to take care about me and I want to take care about him and about our children. I want to have a nice home to make it cozy and warm and full of joy and harmony. But I agree also that woman shouldnt stay at home and just clean the house and go shopping, because I think that when you dont have any interests your man wont be interested in you for a long time. Because every person should have some special interest in life and be unigue in this life.rn rnI’m a student and talking about my future profession I want to work in the field of tourism, I think it is very interesting:) I hope when I finish I will work on my profession. Now I finish my letter and waiting for yours:) Natalia.rnrnReply #4rnrnHello Natalia,rn rn Well I hope you are fine, and all is well with you, and I guess I should your questions in this email, since I think you might get upset at me if I dont :(, but I will be truthful in my answers :D. Well as to your question as to if I can see a future for us being together, I would like to think so, but I would really like to get to know you for who you are, inside and out, I hope you feel the same way about me as well, in order to make sure the relationship will become a successful one, and I hope you understand where Im coming from, since it sounds you would like to start a strong family as I would like to, and the only way that is possible is that a relationship between you and I, can work, which I think, but we need to get it a little time. As to what I think is the most important character that a woman, I would have say that being trustworthy is probably at the top of the list, since if I cant trust the woman that Im with, then I find it is pointless to be with the woman I cant trust, and I think you probably feel the same way about men as well.rnrnAs to what I dont like what a woman does, well I guess I would have to say when she doesnt respect my private time, when I say that, I mean if I wanted to go for a coffee with friends, or want to sit down in a room to read a book, or I would like to take a long walk by myself. I guess Im trying to say, is that Im the type of person that enjoys the ocassional private time to myself either to go for a walk, read a book, or watch tv, and those are the times I dont like to be disturbed (only for important things where I dont mind being bothered), but I feel that if the woman wanted some private time to herself, I would respect it and I hope she would do the same for me. As for what I would like for a woman do that make me happy, I guess something nice for me, like cook me a good meal, sew a hole in a pair pants, and the occasional massage (messages arent really necessary, but I couldnt think of any more examples, so I just used that :( ), but I think that shouldnt apply to the woman, since I think a man do something nice for his woman once in a while as well.rnrnWas I crazy in love with the last woman I was in love with, I guess the answer would be no, I guess I felt that I had loved her, but never felt that she was the person that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, I really dont know what, but I just never felt that she was the special person, but I guess that how it is with romance, you may love a person, but not wish to spend the rest of your life with the person. I see being crazy in love, is that you are able to see yourself 30 years in future with that person. Well as to what I find as to is the most beautiful part in a woman, this is a difficult question for me to answer you to be honest with you, since I really dont know what you mean by "part", do mean by a physical part such as legs, arms, etc, or non-physical part such as a laugh, smile, so I cant answer the question until I really know what you mean by that, but there I really vary on that when it comes to women, since there are some things that I see in a woman that attracts me to them, but there are things that I look for in a woman that I think are attractive. Well I dont want to bore you any longer, but I hope you will like my answer, or like them a little, but those were difficult questions to answer :(, but they were pretty good questions as well, so I would like you to answer them, but replace "men" in the questions !! :D.rn rnWell I really hope to hear from you soon,rn your truly,rn Stephenrn rnEmail #5 from herrnrnHello, my dear Stephen!rn rnThank you for answering all the questions that i asked you. I am ready to answer the same:) So, as for our future I think that all is possible in this life!!! And I know that when you want something very much you will get it for sure. And I think that we really understand rnthat were created for each other i think that nothing can stop usto be togehter, and even such big distance!!! rn rnI like gentle man and I hate impudent men!! I likw when man say complement her woman every day and say "I love you" at least every week:) and dont like lazy man! rn rnLast time I was carzy fallen in love one year ago, and we were together for one year!! He broked our relation as he was not ready for serious relationship and he was too young to with me:) rn rnThe most attractive part of mans body for me it is his hands:) it should be manly and not tender:))) rn rnI want to be sincere with you. I hope that yournunderstand that age is means nothing for me. I think that one can love and to be loved at any age. The most important in relations to be honest and to understand each other. You have to love him not for some purpose but for his existence in this world. Just to love him with his good and bad manners with his disadvantages and advantages. I think that love between two people appeared from friendship and common interests. I mean they must like to do the same things to have the common hobbies. So when they together the won’t be boring. I also believe that serious relationship need a lot of patience. You know once I heard such Ingrid Bergman’s statement “Happiness is good health and bad memory”. I think in love it’s true too. It’s good to have badrnmemory or maybe just forgot something you don’t like in your partner or his or her bad word he or she said when is in a bad mood. You have learn to forgive. Do you agree with this? Ingrid Bergman is a Swedenrnactress. Have you heard about her?rn rnI think that the internet can be the place to find ones future spouse. I feel that it can happen here as well as anywhere. I even feel that the distance is not a barrier. You know that they say there is no distance in prayer and the same can be said about love. Love isrnpatience, kindness, understanding, it isnt selfish, it is giving and nurturing. I think that mutual respect, honesty, and open communication are critical to a relationship and that is especially true of internet and long distance. Both people have to want it tornwork out. Both people have to be committed to it. We learn about each other through our emails, phone calls and sharing our photos. This means that we must be honest in all these things so that when we dornmeet the only surprises we might get will be happy ones and not something we never expected. What do you feel about this? I really want to marry a good man, create a happy family and household, and have some children if God wills. I want to be accepted for the man that I am. I want to give all I can to my husband and family and help them in all situations. I just never have found the right man for me thus far. I hope that it will be you if God wills it. Take care and write when you can.rnLooking for your reply.rnYours, Natalia.rnrnReply #5rnrnHello Natalia,rn rn Well thank you for answering the questions, it gives me an a better understanding of you, and I learned a little about you :). Well I would like to ask a favour from you, its not a big one, I promise, its a little difficult for me to explain but I will try, but I would like you to start with the questioning, meaning that you ask me any question you care to ask me, how personal you would like to ask is totally up to you, but you must be willing to answer them as well :). The thing is, there are 1000 questions I would like to ask you, but I dont want to make them so personal that it will offend you, since that is the last thing I really want to do, is to offend you in anyway, since I would like to see how far we can take this relationship, I hope this makes sense. Basically, I guess Im trying to say is, that I want you to set a standard for how personal the questions can be, because my biggest worry is that I may ask you something that I dont think is too personal but you might consider to be personal, and get offended, I hope I make sense, since Im still a little confused now :(. But those questions you had asked previously, were pretty good and got me to think, and if you are wondering, I was completely honest in my answers, and I hope you got a better understanding of who I really am.rnrnI think this relationship can become something special, but there is some still some work by both us to get it where we would like it to become, and as you mentioned, if we were meant to be together, no matter what the distance is between us, we will we be together, as a couple. But I agree with you, when it comes to love, age difference shouldnt make a difference since love does work in mysterious ways, as long as a couple as able to share common interests, hobbies, and accept each other for who they really are (for the good and the bad), and be able to overcome any argument no matter how it is, the relationship they couple share together will be a successful one. I think you are a very nice, intelligent lady, which Im surprised that you havent been able to find a man to start a family with, as of yet, or at least in correspondence with at least, if you are in correspondence with other men, its okay with me, since it is big decision as to who you would like to start family with, and Im sure you will make the right decision, but if its is gods will, then it will be me. Im glad you see the this relationship as I do, and that you are trying to attain the type of relationship that Im trying reach as well, and I agree with you that there may be a big barrier that is between us at the moment, but it gets smaller after every email :). I am sincere and honest with every word I type to you, and I feel that something positive can become of this, but I also feel there is still for more us to learn about each other, since we both dont want to find out any surprises about each other, so I hope you to hear from you soon.rn rnYours Truly,rn StephenrnrnEmail #6 from herrnrnHello my dear Stephen!! I hope Im the woman you are looking for...pretty, intelligent, communicative, passionate and so on :-)!!rnIm also optimistic and joyful person!But Im serious and looking for serious relationships!rn rnI want to find my soulmate in order to share everything in my life with him. I want to have a lot of tenderness, honnesty, communication and complicity. I want also to have a lot of fun with him and start tornbuild a strong relationship and after a strong family with real values and mutual understanding.rn rn rnAll the people living near me (relaives, friends, people at work) know that I am a sincere person, honnest and with real values. I want to live completly and fully my life and not to play a role. I dont likernsuperficial people and persons playing a role everyday. I like sincere people, people living with that they have inside. For me it is really important to share everything with my future soul-mate and to have arnlot of communication, complicty with him. I want also to have a lot of fun with him.rn rnI am a simple woman who wants simple things and enjoy what life brings us. I like to spend time sitting in a cafe reading and watching people, I like to go to restaurants with my friends and have a lot ofrndiscussions on many subjects, I like walking in the city or near the lake, I like doing shopping.rn rnI like when relations with others are real and intense, when we shared something. I am very romantic and very naive, but I want to live my life as if it were a dream.rn rnTake care. My warmest wishes, Natalia.rnrnReply #6rnrnHello my Natalia,rn rn Well it sounds like you are the lady, that Ive been wanting to start a serious relationship with, but I havent been able to find a women like that until I met you. Well to describe my personality, I guess my friends would say Im nice, respectful, honest, someone who has a good sense of humour (could be a little weird at times :( ), easy to get along with, trustworthy, and Im pretty much a quiet, shy type of person. My friends and family always wondered why I havent married anyone yet, but the type of person I am, and with work, makes it very difficult for me to find a woman that I would like to start a serious relationship with, maybe I just hadnt had the luck to meet that special someone, maybe it was gods will, who knows, maybe it was my destiny to meet someone later in life, that I would meet who would appreciate me, and I can appreciate as well.rn rnWell I know you might be confused from my previous email, asking you to be first to start asking questions, since Ive read that email, and it got me confused as well :(, but the thing is, I think we have something good going here, and I dont want anything to ruin it, and maybe its me, but my biggest fear is that I will write you something, or ask you something that will offend you, even when I didnt think it would have offended you. So, if there is anything that I say, or ask you, that upsets you, please dont hesitate and tell me about it, I like the relationship we have, and I would like to see how far we can take it, and I think you feel the same way about this relationship as I do, dont you agree??. I am simple person, just seeking a woman such as yourself to share the rest of my life with, and enjoy what life has to offer together as a couple, and I share your views on what a relationship should be, between a couple, and I hope that you are truly being sincere and honest about you life goals. But, I dont want to make this letter any longer, you probably asleep at the keyboard by now, but in your next email I would like you to ask me questions, how personal is your decision, since I probably have 1,000 questions that I would like to ask you, but cant think of any at the moment, but I will eventually :).rn rnSo I really hope to hear from you soon,rn StephenrnrnrnEmail #7 from herrnrnrnHello my darling Stephen! Thank you for your sencere letter! You know yesterday I was at the cinema with my friend Kate. We were watching a such romantic Russian movie. It was about a young lady and a man theyrncouldn’t be together because of his job, he was sent to an other country. But the end was happy they met and got married. Almost the whole movie I was thinking about us. To be honest with you I’m thinking a lot about you, before going to bed I�m thinking what timernthere is in your country and trying to imagine what are you doing at this moment. Sometimes in the morning I remember your letters because after thinking about you my mood becomes better. I’m dreaming about our meeting. I want to see you to hug you. It will be so great isn’trnit my dear? Do you want to see me? All these thoughts about you make me think maybe it’s time to make our relations more real. My intents are serious and I’m honest with you I hope you know it. And there arernno doubts in your heart about me. I believe that you love me as much as I do. I like everything in you. I like your ideas about live, your hobbies. I see in you a kind, opened, reliable, trustful and lovingrnman. It’s not just a compliments for you, I really do think so. I think we have a lot in common. We have the same interests and planes for future. I believe that our meeting will be the logical continuation of our relations. I’m trying to be honest with you that’srnwhy I don’t want to hide my feelings from you and my desire to see you. I’m looking forward for your letter!rn rn Only yours, Natalia.rnrnEmail #8 from herrnrnStephen, dear I would like to visit you and meet you in person! I see in you a kind, opened, reliable, trustful and loving man. I think we have a lot in common. We have the same interests. I believe that our meeting will help us to know each other much better. I really like you very much I think you are a person I was looking for. rn rnI would like to meet you, that is exactly what I meant! Dear in the beginning of our correspondence I wrote that Im looking for my true love for the man I can get in love with and to create a family with. I want to be sincere with you and I think that I like you and we canrnhave a chance to try to know each other better. Its a great pleaser for me to correspondence with you but Im not looking for a pan pal, Im looking for serious relationship. Dear, please dont break my heart if you are not looking for the same as me. I would like to meet you in real life because I was thinking that you probably havent planed our meeting and I will have holidays very soon, so its more real me to come to your place than you are to me because you arernworking.rn rnLooking for your replyrnHoping to hear yes from yournKissesssrnYours Natalia.rnrnReply #8rnHello Natalia,rn rn Well thank you for that touching letter, and I got a better understanding of how you feel about our relationship, and about us. Well to be honest with you, Im pretty much at a loss for words, I really dont know what to say, since I think of you at times a day, but when I do I think what I would do when we have our first encounter, would I try to kiss you or just wrap my arms around you and hold you, but then I start to wonder about you really as a person, and wonder if you know enough about me to make the decision to bring the relationship to the next level, so at the moment Im really confused as to what we should do. Honestly, Ive had prior correspondences with other women in the past which left a bad taste in my mouth (basically, didnt end up as I hope it would, and something happened), and I really dont want this to happen to this relationship, since I do have some feelings for you, but I would like to 100% sure that we are both making the right decision for ourselves, and that it is a decision that we both wont regret.rn rnIm think you are intelligent, sincere, honest, and attractive (I am physically attracted to, I guess you can consider that a compliment, and Im sure you look great at the beach with all the swimming, and yoga you had done, reminds me that I should go back to the gym soon, lol), but I really dont know much about who you are as person, which Im trying to do, but it is difficult for since I probably have over 1,000 I would love to ask you, but how personal of a question I can ask stops me from asking you anything, since what you might consider personal and what I consider personal might vary, since we come from two different cultures, so I might offend you in way when there was no intent by me to offend you in anyway, so I hope you understand where Im coming from. So I dont know what you mean when wrote "it’s time to make relations more real", but I somewhat think I know what you are trying to say, but not really sure, so I dont want to assume anything, but I hope that are relationship becomes what you hope it will someday, I truly do, but there is so little you know about me, and there is so little I know about you. Im just saying this, because I feel love is a strong word to use in a relationship, and unless you arent 100% sure if you love a person, it shouldnt be said, but I have strong feelings toward you, and I hope you share the same feelings as I do towards me. So I hope you understand where Im coming from, and we will together to get this relationship to the level that you and I both hope this relationship can go to.rn rnSo write back as soon as you can.rnYours,rn StephenrnrnEmail #9 from herrnrnStephen, Im so happy that we will meet its so great! I couldnt even imagine that it will be so great I thought that is just a dream! But how happy Im to know that you are agreed! rn rnSo, as for visa, I know everything about it because I studied a tourism in the university and i know all the details and how to make it correct in order to get visa. I know that it is hard to get a guest one but it is possible to get a tourist one when you have the tickets that is paid for the round trip, and also it is nececcary to show in the ambassy that you are not poor girl, for this it is necessary to arrange a documnets of my parents property and so on... Be sure, i know how to get it! I really would like to come to you, and I will have the holidays in the end of this month so if we can start to do it now then in the middle of June I will be able to fly. The only problem for me is that I cant ask my parents to pay for my flight to, I toldrnthem that I met one man but I didnt say yet that we are going to meet, but dont worry they will not be agaisnt it, just i know that my father will not give me money for my coming to you. And if you could help me financially with it I will be able to fly, if not - then the only way to meet each other is your coming here, so let me know what do yu think about I ahve heard that your country is very beautiful andrnI think that you have alot of places to see!rn rncant wait to be folded in your armsrnLooking forward for your kisses and warm touchesrnAll yours, Natalia. rnrnReply #9rnrnWell Natalia,rn rn Well Im still in deciding as to what I should do, and I think the picture helped a bit, but Im still really deciding as to what I should really do. I would really like to meet you, but so soon, Im not really sure about that, and I think its a tough decision for me to make, since if I decide to meeting you so soon that when we meet each other and really learn more about each, we realize that we arent as interesting to each other as we thought we would be, or it could be completely the other way. Also, if I dont agree to the meeting, for what ever the reason may be, you might think Im just doing it to break your heart, which is anything I wish to do, and then you will probably stop corresponding with me since you feel that I broke your heart, and you dont want to have a "pen pal", and that is something I dont want you to consider me as, I would like to be something more than to you, and I would really like to get to know really well, inside and out. As I mentioned to you earlier, I think you are an attractive, nice lady that I hope to get to really know for you, but I want to make sure that I make the right decision. Well send me the information I need in order to get you the tickets, in case I decide to go ahead with the meeting, and I will send you a reply within a day or two after that email. But just in case, what ever my decision is, if it yes then I hope to see you soon, but if its no, then I guess you will no longer wish to talk with me since you dont wish to have a "pen pal", I truly wish you all the best in the future, and I hope you find that special someone you are looking for.rn rnWell I hope to hear from you soon,rn StephenrnrnEmail #10 from herrnrnStephen, something wrong with my mail box, it is empty!!! I dont know why!!! did you send me letter? can you resend the last one, oK? I will bernwaiting, Natalia.rnrnReply #10rn Read Reply #9, I just resent her the previous emailrnrnEmail #11 from herrnrnStephen, I am sorry but I missunderstood you! What did you mean?? Natalia.rnrnReply #11rnrnNatalia,rn Im still cant make my decision as to what I should do, I will talk to my good friends about our situation, and find out what their opinions are about it, and take what they have to say into account in making the decision, and by then I should have my decision. If my decision is yes, then I will be really happy to see you, but if it is no, then Im afraid that you will no longer wish to speak to me, since you might said no because I wanted to break your heart, or that you mentioned you dont want a pen-pal, so I think you probably not speak to me, if it is no, and that worries me. So send me the information I need to get you the tickets, in case the answer is yes. I will send a reply soon after, as I should be seeing my friends either tonite or tomorrow nite. But no matter what my decision is, I really hope what you are looking for, Im just saying this, since I still dont know what my decision will be, yes this is a big decision that Im putting a lot of thought behind, and really still dont know the answer to it. So I hope this is easier for you to understand, I really dont know how to explain it any easier, sorry.
