I like your attitude about your search.  When I read that you had children and have been divorced then read that you were looking for the same I could see that you were more unique than most.  As you might know you should be prepared for quite a challenge in finding your love and getting her and her child children over into the states.  It will not be an inexpensive endeavor and the paperwork will be heavy.  The important thing is that you know yourself.  Yes I agree with Jack in your case the Kiss.com and American singles sites would not really in your league.   In my view you should concentrate on two things placing an add in a Ukraine/Russian news paper and getting over the country as soon as possible to learn about the culture and visit with the girls your currently corresponding with.  If you have a hard time finding time to travel then you’re putting yourself in an even more disadvantage.  The newspaper adds should only cost you about $28 at most that is for the paper in Kiev and in Lugansk Ukraine other papers just E-mail me and I might be able to help.  You should think about: The expense, and the time you will need a lot of it.

New shoes squeak because the two or three layers of leather that make up the sole and welt have a slick finish on one side that alternately grabs a slips (very quickly) causing a high frequency noise or grating. Once broken in, the layers of the leather stretch and conform so that this slipping does not occur.

There, is one of your goals accomplished so be satisfied.

Do not fall into the mindset of a timetable by which to fall in love (much less get married). You are dooming yourself for failure in the long run. There are too many variables to deal with when women (and/or LOVE) is involved to try to make this a science. I will not say that this cannot happen next year but I hope that you are joking about this being a definite goal/timeline.

That being said, my ad (placed by Jack) got much better replies than I ever got from writing letters. As it turned out, this wasn't the way that I met my fiancee but I did get some very good replies from some very fine ladies (who were not receiving tons of letters from other guys). The big plus is that you are assured that the ladies who reply are interested in you (for whatever reason .

You are right to be cautious. You are putting yourself out there as scammer bait (and I did get some bites with my ad) however you approach this persuit. All the more reason to take your time and be sure of intentions.

I do wish you good luck and I can tell you that it is worth all the hassles and hurdles.

Thanks, Rags. Congrats on your engagement. This list truly has some interesting, helpful, and successful men. I was very reluctant at first to post here, but i'm glad i did.

We now have two shoe squeak theories.

Jack seems to be the go to guy. I may have to buy him a cup of coffee one of these days. Is his site the one in Tver? Where's Tver? Should I visit any Russian city that has only one vowel in it? Even Ufa has two vowels.  Was there a Russian shortage of vowels when they named Tver?

Chip,
Tver is located 90 miles NW of Moscow.  There is a fine agency, Lifetime Partners, located there.  They are a honest and sincere organization.  Some of their prices (like for flats) are a little higher than they should be, but they also offer some services (free unlimited email) that others do not.  This agency will also take your photo and profile and put them into their books in the office.  I know that many of their female clients check for new profiles on a regular basis.  Lifetime Partners also have an office near San Fransisco.

Tver is a city that isn't small (pop 500K), has a lot of Moscow's influences without the "big city" hard edges.  There is a major university located in Tver, so many young women are in the area.  For many reasons, there seems to be a great number more women than men.

That must be why they kiss so good!

Firstdream dot com is just a little south of Big D. I don't know, there might be a Tver, Texas.

IMHO, look in Ukraine. There seems to be more successful searches ending there lately.

....contacts I've ever made were with a cheap add placed two years ago. I've never bought a single address.

I continued to get letters from that ad for over a year because agenices picked it up and furnished it to their female clients.

Btw, new shoes squeak because they're dry. The best way to solve this problem is to lube 'em with a little gerbil oil.

is kinda like milking a cow or choking a chicken-maybe it is like spanking a monkey-how ever it is done the results I am sure are the same-you wind up with a healthy serving of lube juice..........there is my sick Christmas 2 cents.

If milking a cow, chocking a chicken or spanking the monkey is all you can think of at this hour, you need to spend more time with your wife and less on this board ))

Do you place the gerbil in the shoe, or can you buy oil for gerbils at a pet store? I've never had to oil a gerbil before, so I'm not sure where to find gerbil oil. I have oiled a cather's mitt; is it the same principle? )

Seriously, how does one find the papers to place ads in? I ended in a preposition...Moscow Times? SPTimes? The Tver Tribune? The Odessa Olive?

Also, will agencies in the medium sized cities take you r photo via e-mail, and your info, and seek out ladies who might be interested. I saw an agency in Rostov, I think, which seemed small enough that I thought they'd be happy to get photo/letter info directly, and then rent apartments, translators, etc. What do you think?
