| I always got asked this question when I first began | | | | that can make you think crazy thoughts. It plays with |
| seeking a Russian bride. And I would like to mention | | | | your mind by entering the power of your own |
| that there is a difference regarding love from a | | | | imagination. Think of it like a book... giving you just |
| 'psychological' point of view, in my opinion. Falling in | | | | enough descriptive passages, leaving your mind to fill |
| love through cyberspace is what I call "Virtual Love." | | | | in all the remaining details.So how can you avoid this |
| It's not real love yet... but can definitely turn into real | | | | kind of trap? Simple... keep your feet grounded and |
| love. Once you accept this, you will be on your way | | | | don't do anything different that you wouldn't normally |
| towards achieving your goal and finding a healthy | | | | do in the REAL WORLD. For example, if an American |
| relationship.Now, in my case, there were some extra | | | | woman claimed that she loved you after only 3 |
| precautions I had to take. Because when seeking a | | | | dates and wanted to marry you, you would |
| Russian Bride (or anyone abroad that you can't | | | | undoubtedly run for the hills screaming |
| physically meet on a normal date), you do have to | | | | "Psyyyyychooooo!" Right? So keep the same |
| be careful. There are many scammers that try to | | | | attitude whenever a Russian woman says the same |
| manipulate and con you into giving them money. I will | | | | thing after only 5 emails.The issue of money seems |
| save some of these tips for another article in the | | | | to be a popular subject amongst men seeking a |
| future, but in all honesty, they are pretty obvious, as | | | | russian woman. "Should I give her money? She asked |
| you will see in my example.When I first started | | | | for some money and she claims that she loves |
| searching for an online romance, I pretty much did | | | | me."Don't laugh... this happens a lot and many men |
| everything everybody else does. I looked at all the | | | | get scammed because their imagination takes over. |
| prettiest girls I could find, copied and pasted a | | | | They actually believe that she does loves them. Just |
| template letter and blasted them out to as many | | | | keep your feet grounded and think of it this way... |
| Russian girls I could find. I mean, they can't read | | | | you walk by a homeless person everyday not giving |
| English very well anyway, so why not, right? Little did | | | | him one penny, yet this doesn't bother you does it? |
| I know that I would found myself spending hours | | | | Do you want to know why? Because in reality, you |
| among end reading response templates such as, | | | | are much more sensible and you might think that he |
| "Thank you for the letter... you seem like the good | | | | might use it for drugs, alcohol or whatever. You don't |
| man... I liked your structure... please write... you | | | | want to feed his addictions, so you look the other |
| interesting!" Ironic isn't it?But I continued writing and | | | | way when he asks for money. Use the same |
| writing... answering each of them back. And this is | | | | approach when a Russian woman asks for money... |
| when I began to notice a trend. Many of the emails I | | | | IGNORE HER! Don't be foolish and give in to her |
| got back were very similar in context, and by the | | | | photo and centerfold body. You don't know her well |
| 4th or 5th email, they suddenly claimed their love for | | | | enough -- you're only imagining that you do.The key |
| me. Me?? Little ol' me?? After only 5 emails?!! I must | | | | to a successful online romance is to have patience. |
| admit that their 'claim' rather made me feel good... | | | | You have to stay grounded and stay in reality. Things |
| and while I was in disbelief, my own ego couldn't help | | | | take time, especially relationships. You need to |
| but to think that, "Maybe she is in love with | | | | establish trust -- and believe me when I say this, it |
| me?!!"Hmmm... it could happen, right? This is when I | | | | doesn't happen in 5 emails. Follow your instincts and |
| took a step back and realized that online dating has a | | | | you'll do just fine. Good luck! |
| power that differs from reality. It is a virtual love | | | | |
