Hey BD, welcome. Just note that this site is not for actually chatting with and meeting girls, we are here to give advice based on our experiences on how to go about chatting and meeting women from abroad (though there are a few nice ladies here who kindly share their experiences from the other side of the equation). If you have questions about the process, ask away. Though most of your questions are probably somewhere already answered in the archives if you can take the time to search through it all.
