Hello everyone,
I just wanted to take a quick moment to say hello and introduce myself. I'm writing in from Jacksonville, Florida, USA. I just recently decided to give this foreign relationship thing a try. I think I like this setup here because it's not a mailorder bride kind of thing, but meeting real people and building your own relationships.
Here's my experience so far. I'm just getting started and completely new. I stumbled on the site while doing research and saw the listings. I was amazed at the huge selection and even more at the quality of selection. I just don't find this type of family and moral mindset with most people from where I'm at.
I write software for a living, so in 20 minutes I was able to put together something that would narrow down the 293 pages of selections to just the age range I was looking for into a Word document and have everything at my fingertips. I made some selections and emailed for the contact info. I was again surprised that they only list a street address and no email or anything.
I've never sent any letters or packages outside of work to a foreign address. Does anyone have any tips on this? I figured I would make my introduction by hand-writing the letter and give an intro about me along with a couple of good pictures. I guess I will see how it goes and what happens.
