Thats a really nice story Steve.r; Lucky Plaza is a popular Filipino hangout.

I've told my story before, so dejavu for some; but myself and Marvie were both working on a cruise ship in South America. She was working as a Physio/Fitness Instructor and myself as Navigator. I spent a few months enduring 1:1 fitness sessions to spend time with her, as well as my dragging her ashore on many dates. After our contracts we met up in Manila and lived happily ever after :-)

Oh yes, and she made me change ships, and won't let me go back to cruise ships...

Hi SEB,

I met my girl on a dating website too and i do think nowadays it is commonplace for most, especially us older guys/girls who have outgrown the clubbing and singles scene (or who were never into it in the first place). We may think chatrooms are cynical and unromantic, well the singles scene in bars and clubs is a lot worse in my eyes!

I have been following your story on a previous thread and I hope the pain is easing a little. Continue your search with faith, perseverance and a good heart and I'm sure you'll find a genuine girl soon enough.

Your story resonates with me as I'm at the stage where I'm trying to save enough money to visit my girlfriend in Manila (Incidentally she's called Suzie too, but I hope that's where the similarity ends!) and like you am finding the financial constraints frustrating. I'm hoping that i'll be able to visit her in the spring/summer. She is constantly asking me when I will visit her and like you I don't want to lie to her and give her false hopes by saying I'll visit untill I know for certain when I can travel out there.

I know there is no substitute for meeting in person, but I do feel you can get to know and care deeply for someone, by other means of communication. Obviously the most important piece of the jigsaw is meeting and experiencing the thrill (or not) of physical attraction and chemistry and it is, of course, the only way we will truly know if the feelings we have will flourish and grow.

Best wishes

Scrutiny
