I can only describe the meeting as magical - after only a few hours with her i realised just how good a relationship can feel. Since then i have been asking her to get a passport so she can visit her and see how things go `in the real world`. Wynn is also booked on a cruise in December for my parents wedding anniversary. I will also visit her again very soon because i miss her so much.
Sorry if this thread is sounding like an agony aunt column, but it is good to talk about this to people who have or are having the same experiences. I would also love to hear from anyone in Yorkshire with a view to talking about this.
I don't want to put a downer on things for you Mark, but getting a passport is the least of your problems if you are planning for her to visit here (UK) - "so she can visit her" - was this a typo, did you mean "so she can visit here". If so the real problem will be getting a tourist visa because unless she is wealthy, or has a businesses or lots of property in Philippines etc, the chances of her getting a tourist visa to visit you in the UK are almost nil.
