In some parts I don't agree with you.Yes , Patrick had a nice vacation with a beautiful young woman.
And he gave her presents in these 3 years that he knows her.

That is all good and he should enjoy and cherish this time.
What I don't understand is , that after all these happy times , he comes here to complain!

Really not man-like and he is putting ALL the blame on her.
And he expects us (the ladies) here , to give him credit for this ?

As you may know by now , I Always say , there are 2 sides to a story.
We don't know her version , so I will not comment on who is right or wrong.

I only can say , that I disapprove of how he acted.He should have been more careful in the beginning and also should have asked the right questions..

Now he says that he found another woman and she wants to marry him!!!
And he has only seen her probably in a video chat.

Well this seems more like a very desperate man to me.In my estimation this is not a good beginning.
And he may have his hopes too high now.

But I wish him well of course.

That the economy in the Western Europe and in other countries is better than in EE or Russia has nothing to do with online dating.

If you want to have a succesful dating and a fair chance to succeed , your preparation is the key.

NO GOOD PREPARATION - NO HAPPY RELATION

Hey it sounds like the title for another poem ....
Now I must wait for the inspiration ...
