Being Irish I would have agreed with you.....until I lived in Ukraine. All eastern European women are beautiful but I would say Ukraine takes the top spot among them.
Reading some of the posts over the last few pages about telling someone what you feel about them brought to mind the words of a Garth Brooks (also Ronan Keating) song "If Tomorrow Never Comes"
Here's some of the words for those who may not know it.
If tomorrow never comes would she know how much I loved her have I tried in every way to show her everyday that she's my only one and if my time on earth is through could she face this world without me has the love I gave her in the past going to be enough to last if tomorrow never comes.
Strange that this site does not allow Russians to join and does not support Cyrillic yet they are carrying a Google ad for learning Russian in St Petersburg.
Personally, if I got the feeling the other person didn't care or wasn't putting as much into the relationship as i was then, depending how long the relationship had been, I'd either confront the issue or simply end it.
I agree there is nothing to stop anyone putting a fake picture up but this is a dating site. What happens if you eventually get around to meeting someone from here?
Unless of course it is never your intention to actually meet someone from here.
I agree. I also agree with Scousedon, despite whether you think it's more important to know the person it's human nature to want to see what the person looks like.
I don't care what people say about personality. Yes someone can be a lovely sincere, genuine person with a good personality but there still has to be some physical attraction.
Why go on a dating site and not show your picture? Perhaps some of those who don't have one will enlighten us as to their reasons.
I agree. When you give someone time and attention and make the effort to let them know you're thinking of them and it's not reciprocated then the mistrust sets in and you start to think about how serious they really are. I think from that point on it's all downhill.
Very well said sweetowen. Mostly what I would have said myself. I haven't been alone nearly as long as you and although it's nice to have the freedom to go where you want when you want I'd much prefer to have to consider someone else's views.
No. it's not just your area. I've found the same problem in my area. I only moved here recently and maybe it's because the pool of people in my area is small but I've been on other sites in different countries over the last few years and never had a problem striking up conversations with people.
Here it's almost impossible to get a conversation going with anyone.
I don't remember the last time someone cooked for me (at home I assume you mean).
Luckily I love to cook and cook for myself everyday but it does get a bit boring doing it for one. I love cooking for other people and would be quite happy to have someone else to cook for.
I do love going out to restaurants though going on my own doesn't appeal to me so it's been a few months since I went to one.
Unfortunately true Nakosya. I seen so much of this during my time in Ukraine.
As for speaking about money I also found this to be true. Obviously it's a big country and you cannot paint everyone the same and maybe they act differently when abroad. I met quite a few during my time abroad and I don't think i ever met one who claimed to have a normal job. They all were in business or had high powered jobs and liked to talk about how much they had or spent.
I think it's to do with their culture and the pursuit of the "American Dream". Everyone wants to appear sucessful and nobody wants to admit to having an ordinary run of the mill job but maybe that's just the cross section that I met.
I've been there on both sides of the equation and in my opinion it doesn't work.
The one who only wants the friendship will be happy with it but the one who was rejected will always be hoping for more and that the other will change their mind in time.
I have to agree with you about Giggs Scousedon. He's been a great servant to Utd. Not only a great player but has stayed very loyal to them when he could easily have moved in the past for big money. He's a great role model for the young kids of today and apparently a real gentlemen off the field also.
Yes you're correct to be suspicious. I have experience of this. They are either scammers or simply compiling email lists.
Lets be honest, if you meet someone on here or any other site and correspond with each other for some time and obviously like each other then it would be a normal progression to private email, Skype, ICQ or MSN. If however, someone wants your private email in the first few messages then you should be rightly suspicious.
I'm a little bit skeptical. After I first watched "Capricorn One" I could never really decide but i have a friend works for the European Space Agency and he is adamant they did.
When I asked him if it was true why they never went back he said simply, they had nothing to go back for.
