hello all,

i have been speaking to a lovely lady from the ukraine, to be honest she looks like a supermodel! The problem I have is that I dont speak ukraine, and she doesn't speak english, so when we speak, its pretty much a chat box full of emoticons, but I can tell that her over-aggressive usage of the emoticon means that me and her have something special.

My question is where do I go from here? as i said before, her smilies makes it clear that she is interested, and I am interested, but the language barrier makes it difficult.

Do we just carry on **** smilies and learn each others language? she has asked me to loan her £200 for her dying relative which i gave in a heartbeat, thats how much I love her, but I am unsure as to how to take the next step.

any advice?

Apart from a demand for money?

yes but we use a lot of smilies and winks, and even though i dont KNOW what she is saying, I can feeel it, and I think its the same for her. I know the easy way out of this is to just give up, but that seems to slovenly..

Yes, My advice would be to carefully read my profile & then run along & get your cheque book. I'll supply more details later, along with as many emoticons as you can shake a stick at!

i said she looked like a supermodel.. not to be insulting, but you are a long distance from fulfilling that criteria.

Hopefully you'll still have the same romantic view when your back account is empty!

Of course I meant bank. I think that's a word you'll be using yourself quite a lot over the next few months!

You are either a vulnerable **** who needs POVA protection, or as I likely expect, you are taking the **** piss.


Now either get some professional help, or ask someone who can type to tell your con artist to **** off!




I have not charged you for this advice so you can consider yourself fortunate or have a chuckle like some twat that is winding me up.

Forgive me if you are the former!



Peace and Love Man!

If you don't think Sarah is supermodel material (and this is as a hetero girl is speaking) then WTF.  Are you joking?

No Rachel, I am not attached to anyone.  The best way I can convey this is by recounting a story I heard 40 years ago.  I found it online and, not being one to reinvent the wheel I present it here to explain how the inside of my mind works.

"This reminds me of a story I have read in the book “101 Zen stories”, about two monks who were walking from one village to another. On the way they came to a large puddle full of mud, which they had to cross. At the brink of the puddle they saw a young woman standing, afraid to cross it.

“Come”, said one of the monks, “I will carry you to the other side”. He took her on his back, and carried her to the other side of the puddle.

After crossing the road, the two monks continued walking silently for hours, until they reached their destination.

The other monk could not keep silent any longer and exclaimed:” How could you carry that girl on your back? We are monks and are not allowed to touch women.”

The monk who carried the women over the puddle smiled and said: “I have left the girl at the other side of the puddle, but it seems you are still carrying her with you!”

This story shows the importance of detachment. Thinking over and over about the past, or repeating futile, unnecessary and negative thoughts, is like carrying a heavy load on your back. It is important to let go and learn to display detachment toward such thoughts. This will develop the ability to clear the mind of unnecessary and disturbing thoughts, and bring a sense of freedom and happiness.

Pay attention to your inner conversations and to the thoughts you keep repeating in your mind, and you will see how much time and energy you waste by thinking over and over about past actions and events, or on what people have said."

To conclude, I am not remotely attached to Sarahstheone and I would not consider it appropriate.  As it happens she is an extremely articulate and intelligent correspondent.  I have no desire to posess her, or anyone for that matter.  I hold the opinion, in keeping with the thread upon which I posted, that in my humble eyes, is one of the most attractive looking women that I have set eyes upon in decades.

Ain't no big deal!

Tomorrow, will you wage war with the sunset over the estuary?

Love and Peace Rachele xx

No, Rachele, she is  not tall enough, but she is drop-dead gorgeous.
