I would like to express my deepest thanks for all your hard work, dedication and effort in making my trip to Rostov such a success

Dear Elena,

I would like to express my deepest thanks for all your hard work, dedication and effort in making my trip to Rostov such a success, without your help i am sure the exceptional success of my relationship with Elena would not have happened.

I will always look back on these 5 days i spent in Rostov as some of the most memorable and happiest of my life, every day was really just perfect, and your patience, skill and care greatly helped in building the relationship between myself and Elena and helped our feelings grow.

As you know i have spent many years travelling, living and working in both Russia and Ukraine but the service you have delivered has been exceptional.

I made the decision very early that i would only write and visit Elena and we both understood it was not without risk, but for her to know that i thought her special enough to make this wonderful journey to be with her was the most important thing and really helped build Elena's confidence that i was serious and sincere in only being with her.

I can honestly say our relationship feels like it was just meant to be, and for that i will always be thankful to you - to meet the girl i always dreamed of and build our relationship together with your help in such a relaxed informal way really helped us both.

It is hard to describe in words our feelings to each other, i think we are both surprised that we felt so much so soon but i think it was really the circumstances in which we could spend time together and so much time together that built such feelings so quickly.

Elena is a truly remarkable girl, i really have nothing bad to say about her at all, for me she defines all the qualities that make a Russian girl so special and worth the investment in emotions, time and money to be with. After meeting with her friends and family within only 5 days i felt welcomed into her life in a very special way.

The service in Rostov was fist class, at the hotel the staff spoke good english, were polite friendly and always helpful. The suite i stayed in was as good as any I have stayed in at many luxury hotels.

The saddest day of my trip was the day i left, as i walked in the park on the warm sunday morning with elena at my side i really felt i needed to ask nothing more from life, kissing her goodbye at the airport was the hardest thing i have ever had to do, but i hope we are going to be together soon, she wrote that she missed me before i had even left Russian Airspace :)

I have strong hope for the future now, we are both sensitive people and so want to build our relationship one step at a time, but it is something i will wait for as in Elena i have found someone i could never equal.

Your advice and help on the visa situation has proved invaluable, we hope that Elena can visit in the coming Weeks meet with my family friends and we cna make a decision about our future life together, but in my heart i think it is a decision we both already made and we will choose to spend our life together.

I have learnt very much in the past 5 days, as you know i was involved with a girl from Ukraine for many years that did not work out, with Elena i now feel this was fate and the fact i tried again was worth all.

With Warmest thanks for bringing us together,
Martin

So what advice could i give to your clients setting out on this wonderful journey?

I think the most important thing is to be both impatient then patient. Many men correspond with girls for endless months and build their dreams up then either don't visit or visit and are dissapointed with each other. I only wrote to Elena for the month before we met - because of it we wrote every single day and chatted for many hours, it kept the anticipation and excitement high for both of us about our meeting, i'm sure this fact really helped that we needed only 5 days together to feel such romance.

Be honest in your correspondance and don't make promises or expect them in return. It is important to understand not to fall in love with a picture or letters. As you know Elena turned out to be completely different than the impression i had from her letters and pictures and it was a wonderful surprise because i arrived with no expectations, A man should not expect a girl to promise she will be in love with him if he comes, or that she will be with him - the correspondance is just a chance to get to know something about each other but isn't a real relationship, even though i only wrote to Elena we both knew that until we met and spent time together nothing was certain - even when we felt we were falling in love in our letters, it could have turned out very different for us but i think we were both realistic and it helped keep perspective.

Personal meeting is really the most important thing, the most wonderful letters in the world do not compare to even 5 minutes in the company of one of these wonderful young women. to see their attitudes, smile, hear their laugh and smell of their hair are all things that contribute to real feelings, if a man does not make a serious effort to come quickly a girl will think him not serious and that she is not important to him.

Remember you are competing for the affections of the girls as much as they are competing your the affection from you, just as you have many choices with girls from the agency so too she has many suitors from her own city and other foreign men. Understand the saying "faint heart never won fair lady". You should show serious commitment in how you conduct yourself to her, remember she must make a commitment to leave her country, family, friends to be with you and if you show you do not even wish to take a few days to be in her city she will not feel any confidence in you.

YOu should always treat the girls in a respectful and courteous manner,it is a myth to think that you can behave as you wish and any girl will accept it because she could have a better life in another country. Russia is growing up fast and many of the Russian girls have a very comfortable life in their own city. They choose to leave all that they love because they feel lonely and are looking for a special love, Russian girls are the most romantic and emotional women i have met and dream to find a man who cares for their heart - something their own men often seem unwilling to do. If you are mindful to behave as badly as a Russian man you will be rejected without a thought, she is looking for a better man and not simply a better standard of living.

If you feel as to come and simply meet 20-30 women or as many as you could in your time and want that they all look like models my suggestion is to not come and use an escort agency instead in your own city. Please imagine how you would feel if you were lined up with 20 other men and a woman came down the line and picked one of you - it is not a pleasent expereince or romantic for the girls and they will understand very quickly that you are not a serious person who is looking for love but simply the most attractive girl who would say yes. You should understand many of these girls will know each other and if you behave like this it will quickly be known and you will probably be rejected by all of them.

I can tell you honestly that Elena told me that she had met many men who had visited sat with them 30 minutes and then said goodbye to them. she spent every spare hour she had with me during the past 5 days because i came only for her and it made her feel special and important. I understand it is a big financial commitment of money and time and the risks are huge in such a romantic adventure but i understand very well that deep in her heart a Russian girl wants to feel beloved to her man beyond all others. I was determined to win the heart of this girl and showed it to her in my actions.

It really leads to the most important point - know exactly what you are looking for before you come. If you are meeting 20-30 girls - all ages, appearance, hair colour etc it shows that you are probably just window shopping and have no interest in anything but being flattered by the company of as many such beautiful girls as you could fit in one week, this is not the place for such behaciour - these girls are serious people with their own feelings looking for a serious relationship or marriage.

I do not expect every man to follow my lead and meet only one girl, personally i do not believe any man would have won my girls heart had they not done so because she was such an exceptional person, but i believe if you really are serious and sincere then you already know what you want from your partner in terms of apperance, interests, character and personal qualities - you should find at most 4-5 girls who meet this criteria and that you meet their criteria and concentrate on them, when you arrive you should make a quick as decision as possible on your strongest match and try to spend as much time with her as possible.

I met only one girl, and i spent 5 days with her - often 10 hours a day in total and it was only on the 4th day i felt some real romantic feeling to her.  it is different for every couple but i think it can be a mistake to dismiss a person too early until you know them better - it is better to meet only a few girls and spend serious time with them and have to come back for more trips to meet others than try and do everything in one week.

Be prepared to be patient, i started looking for my serious partner over 7 years ago now, it is not an inexpensive process but then what price can be put on happiness?

If things do not work out with the girl you meet or she refuses you it is better to put it to experience and move forward and plan your next meetings than think you have failed in some way. All teh time you spend here getting to know the city, the culture and the girls builds towards your future success. I do not believe if i had not spent so much time understanding the culture of Russian women that my relationship with Elena could have been such a success, because of it we were comfortable with each other and with Elena's help translating in communicating through our language differences.

It is advisable to think beyond just the girl and start to take an interest in the country, politics, history and language. It really shows your girl that you care about her beyond just her beauty that you take a deep interest in the country she is very proud to be a citizen of, if you understand the traditions and culture of the russian family you will feel more welcomed and at ease when you become part of her family and she will be proud of you.

On language it is important to be patience, there will be many misunderstandings between you that seem awful at the time but can easily cause problems. be patient over it and don't make suddent conclusions without being sure you have understood each other correctly.

Lastly i think you have to be prepared to be emotionally expressive and strong in your feelings. if you feel something for your girl you must tell her your heart and be very open with her as to how you feel.

Overall you should remember that it is just a introduction service, nobody can promise you success or that every girl will fall in love with you - human relationships are unpredictable at best, but i think if you listen to others, and make every effort to understand what to expect and what is expected of you then you will find a wonderful happiness.

I cannot tell you how happy my new partner makes me feel. she is special and unique and worth all that i went through to meet her, i do not believe i could have found her anywhere else, she is one of the most beautiful femininne girls i have ever met and above everything she is my best friend. I believe if you go into this with the right expectations then you can find someone special for you too.

Good Luck!
