Finnish Artist Lady Seeking Intelligent, Warm British Man!

LOL thanks guys for what seems to me mostly encouraging support I'm glad most of you do seem to take me seriously, thing is I'm very well aware that I'm digging in a haystack but I can tell you that digging in a country of 5 million people in a remote area where the majority doesn't speak my mother tongue is WORSE!!! I mean, when you have two bad options, which do you choose? Just stay where you are and wait for Mr Right to appear magically or DO something. Ok ok I know I am always told to do something where I live or move away first or whatever - unfortunately it's not that easy. I'd rather have a place to visit first and then work it out from there if you see what I mean. I'm mentally strong but physically a bit frail I'm sure Mr Right would love to introduce me to the new life that's waiting for me out there somewhere It has happened before albeit he wasn't Mr Right....

My art is certainly for sale, postcards as well, just contact me and I'll forward the site where you can find them! Cheers and let's not all go nuts here ok? And though many of you are already I'm sure there are a few who retain their sanity and can see a nice thing when put in front of it!

Artist desperately seeking EU men with intellect and heart!

Hehe, thanks for your kind encouraging words! I recently discovered I'm a romantic who'd do anything for love, funny huh since I am sometimes bordering on cynicism. But tenaciousness seems to be a characteristic of mine too so here I am in yet another looney bin, trying hard not to go mad! ;-) as long as there is life there is hope... Cheers to you all and let's just stay hopeful and courageous!

RE: where is the best place to live in europe?:)

come on, every country has its upside and downside, it's just a matter of taste. I always felt at home in the UK and would be glad to move there even though I know it has changed over the past 20 years... for the worse as everywhere else. Finland is great if you appreciate solitude, and the pace is still slower here than in many other places. But to me it's too gloomy. Ireland is probably not a bad place to go either. Anywhere in the UK would be my bet.

Cool, self-promoting is apparently not prohibited on this site! I'm very fond of the UK and would love to meet a man over there!

I'm a Finnish artistic lady age 42 who is tirelessly trying to find the right one but never got further than engagement. I am NOT all that far away... I'd come over to visit in a hearbeat if I felt a connection - unless you came here first of course... I tried relocating to the US once and now going somewhere within the EU to meet a man seems like a child's game! I'm looking for men with the sense of adventure and curiousity about something a little different! I guess I would personally go a long way for love... I'm willing to take risks even if it hurts when things don't work out. Anyone like that out there? Someone who is able to think outside of the box yet has warmth and compassion... Someone who believes that it's possible to get to know one another online and then meet up to see how the chemistry works. And who is intuitive and believes in the feeling of "things that are simply meant to be" and is not ruled by fear? With spiritual maturity also if I may ask for it..?

I guess I'm really searching for a needle in a haystack but I refuse to let go of the feeling that Mr Right is out there somewhere and willing to live with me wherever is safe and beautiful!

Thanks! Yes, that's a good idea, I'm glad self-promoting is not prohibited here, I was a bit unsure at first. I suppose we all have our frustrations for various reasons, after all the percentage of single people is REALLY soaring! Wishing you all the best as well!

RE: where have all the good manners gone ?

I guess it's sometimes case of hit and run in... Many players out there who shoot their artillery (ahum no pun intended) and then leave, maybe they were drunk and didn't remember and then felt embarrassed. Well it kind of helps to be able to share on forums like this, one starts to know what to expect and what is being expected I suppose. But I'm still sad and confused...

RE: where have all the good manners gone ?

Thank you Smokey! I was glad to see that there's some activity within Europe also! I've been rather swamped by Americans for some reason, maybe they are more active online??

Well what to do?? Especially on free sites like this you get all sorts of mail, while on the paid ones many just hang around not paying for the service so they can't bombard you either. I was just thinking that in a way it would be easier if all would agree not to reply to stuff that don't seem interesting enough. Many of us are way too nice and it's only wearing us out rather than adding much to our existance. At least IRL you have the satisfaction of seeing the other person smile at you. Or is it any different these days? I don't know anymore, I'm confused! I think the whole modern world is in chaos when it comes to manners and we have very different upbringing also - things I consider rude is not so bad in someone else's eyes.

Hello there, introducing a Finnish artistic lady who is tirelessly trying to find the right one but never got further than engagement. Furthermore, I get very frustrated that matches on dating sites are always within my own country. I want to get to know OTHER European men but have trouble making my existance known! And then when I do find a potential guy say in the UK (which would be quite nice for many reasons, hint, hint), they feel that I'm too far away. Even Swedes think I am though it's a boat's ride to Finland... Where is the sense of adventure and curiousity about something a little different? I tried relocating to the US once and now going somewhere within the EU to meet a man seems like a child's game! I guess I would personally go a long way for love... I'm willing to take risks even if it hurts when things don't work out. Anyone like that out there? Someone who is able to think outside of the box yet has warmth and compassion...

RE: where have all the good manners gone ?

Well, this is something that has given me a lot of heartache. Every time someone writes for a little while and then dumps you without further ado you experience the feeling of rejection. Most people have fear of rejection so that's quite a lot of strong emotion going around for no other reason than rudeness in modern times. The same goes for hello letters that go ignored, of course. I asked people on a forum about weeding out and amazingly, most women thought it would be good to be kind and say a courteous no, while the men mostly felt that ignoring and then blocking right away was the best alternative! I have been ignored like that by most men online, only a few times when a guy has had trouble ending the contact and have been wanting friendship instead has there been some kind of closure. The other option is of course that I have told them it's not working for me.

I also do wonder about all those men out there who want the cake and eat it; I seem to be the kind of person men are intimidated by or something because so many only want to be friends. For god's sakes, seeking a partner is already a full time job so why would anyone want to chat along in the name of some vague kind of friendship? I get rather sad over these things... And still keep on going...
