Author logan415 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Posted January 1, 2016 I think people are just wanting you to be careful about this. For me personally, I say go meet this woman, you never know what might happen. BUT you should not be using other people's money to do so. I wish I could be there with her for New Year's.
Amelie1980 Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) The whole thing seems like a bad idea. A lot of women from that area are only looking for an American (or any other guy from the West) to get out of their own country. You might be an easy target due to your inexperience Ummm no! That might be true if it was a non European country Inside the European Union, are you aware that there is the free movement of people? Meaning you can move and work freely within any country inside the EU with no visa? She could go to Britain, Germany, France, anywhere, with no visa to work and live, alot closer to the USA to escape eastern Europe. She may want an American guy though. Who knows.

loveweary11 Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Ideas: Fly out and stay/eat with her. Couch surfing app if she or her family can't host you. Work exchange for free lodging. A plane ticket should be mostly all you need to go for a month when you already know someone in the country. It's not like you're going on vacation...
carhill Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Since this seemed familiar, I checked back and found this thread with more information on this particular interaction: http://www.loveshack.org/forums/romantic/dating/530135-how-come-i-get-more-russians-messaging-me-than-americans It appears the OP has been in contact with one particular lady in Belarus for some time now. To me, this is atypical of the ladies I interacted with. In fact, they had a name for men who dallied about and didn't visit presently. They called them 'keyboard romeos'. OP, if you're going to go, get going. Go Fund Me or figure out a way within your current budget or whatever. Winter can be an interesting time because there are fewer visitors, there's a bit of Dr. Zhivago winter in the air and functions you might otherwise desire to check out may be easier to get into or be more lightly attended. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Belarus, or at least many of its citizens, operates on the Gregorian calendar for holidays so, if I did my math right, Christmas is coming in five more days and New Year's in seven more after that. One year I went I enjoyed both Julian and Gregorian holidays in one trip. In more western Lviv, it was a Julian New Years, then in more eastern Odessa it was Gregorian Christmas. Whatever the particulars, again, if you're going, get going. That's my .02
