First before you even contemplate dating a Ukraine girl, learn about them and their culture. You will find Ukraine girls want to look the best and that is not cheap. You learn they expect the man to provide everything. The younger they are the higher their dreams of Prince Charming. So yes you need deep pockets. Taxis have no regulations so anybody can be a taxi driver including friends and relatives. Personally I do not mind this as I know she is happy and feels secure. Her happiness should be your concern. Now for the dating site. What can I say, do not forget initially you are messaging a picture. That's it. Get to using a phone, VK, Facebook, Skype, anything that confirms the profile. If they do not wish to communicate other than on the site alarm bells should ring. Ultimately get your butt over to Ukraine and meet them. I have met 4 women off the site in Ukraine. Two, we did not get on. One we got one great but then started asking me for money for house repairs? The fourth, I am meeting her for the fourth time shortly. Fingers crossed. Incidentally on my first trip I was to meet 5 women. Four cancelled and one met. But my second trip saw one of the women who cancelled wanting to meet. Oh one final tip. Tell them you are out of work and have very little money, and live a lowly life. This will confirm if they are interested in you or money. I have no problems recommending the site to anybody. However do not be lazy, do the checks and research on the ladies. I have even told my girlfriend I will not 100% trust her until that ring goes on her finger. She is still with me. Unfortunately be prepared to be scammed then you are prepared when it happens. Buying gifts for a woman is not being scammed, you hold the purse strings but small gifts are normal in Ukraine.
