I read so many reviews about Anastasiadate, yes, some were very negative, but I decided to give it a try. Signed up, looked through profiles and started exchanging letters. After long video chats, letters back and forth with Yulya, I suggested that I visit her. She arranged an apartment in her home town for me to rent. That first visit was just for four days, but I actually proposed and she accepted on the last day of my stay. We kept corresponding, I visited her again a few months later, I started the process of getting her a visa, and she moved to the US and we got married not long after that.
I think she was excited and flattered that an impressive foreigner was interested in her. I think the chemistry was there. I think Russian women (and probably women in any post-Soviet country) value the prospect of marriage much more highly than American women. This last one may surprise you: I don't think she was happy about leaving Russia. She would have preferred for me to move there.
We've been married for ten years and have two kids.
