It has been my go to mailbox when I'm away fro home for an extended period

First I dated a girl from Moscow that I met on another site. We had a great time but it was decided not to be a long term relationship (we are still friends on Facebook because she was awesome also). I decided to give it another try after reading about Anastasia in Forbes. I joined and became overwhelmed with all the women on the site. I narrowed it down to my top ten and went from there. My co-workers also helped me pick. We corresponded by email for a month and then I decided to call her using Anastasia translator service. I don't know what was said but my lady spoke english and asked me about Skype. Anyway we talked to each other for several months and it was decided to visit her. I obtained a Russian visa from Visa HQ and away I went. I flew on my first TU-154 to her city. She was EXACTLY as presented by photos and Skype. Also met the entire family while there. Nicest people you will ever meet. As soon as I met her, I knew she was the one. I asked her to marry the second day there, but she wasn't prepared (but she didn't say no). I flew back to Russia three more times before she finally said yes. The visa process took a little over six months, she flew back with me and we were married a month later. BEST decision I ever made. I was 56 when we met and she was 48. I wanted someone closer to my age and didn't want to raise another daughter even though they said you could go as high as 25 years difference. I also recommend a book I found that was really helpful (I didn't want to make another mistake after my first try). It's called "Understanding Russian Women". I can't remember the author, sorry
