An Artist's Mystery

I loved mysteries. I am glued to reading novels that have plots as twisted as a roller coaster track in one sitting. Because of this love for mystery, I live it up to be attracted to artists as their personalities are naturally filled with secrets and obscurity. there is something in them that makes them interesting and I admire their views of the world that are different to the rest.

There is this guy I used to call "Black Rose" and I met him online. You see, I am busy with my work as a manager and having a free time for myself is something I get seldom. Anyway, this guy I am talking about ranting at me about his friends the first time I chat with him. Of course, it was awkward and irritating because we were not close and we totally didn't know each other, but he told me that it was easier to open up to people you do not see, which is right. We continued until it became a routine. 

I am a bookworm and not an artist, but it seemed that we have the same perception about society. I believe that artists are also the people who have the potential to change the world, but, they are not hungry for power. they can speak without words and move without action, touching the lives of others by communicating the way they do best- through their art. Although his nature is sad (and often misinterpreted as a factor that they are difficult to love), it was me and my fondness of mysteries that I fell in love with him. 

People told me that it was so hard to love an artist who was someone I just met online and he could not be a real person. In spite of that, I didn't stop loving him. First, the site is known internationally that I am assured he is real. Second, he sent me some of his artworks which were awesome and sweet. Third, he is patient to handle my flaws. "Black Rose" is someone I am looking forward to meet and walk with on the aisle. Thank you for the site which led me to him. 

By the way, I am Olya Lisogyrskaya from Eastern Europe and I am 25 years old. If you are interested to learn more about our story, you may get in touch with me through this profile. 

Hoping Romantically

Time passes by and the world changes fast. Yesterday, a tablet was only a piece of flattened clay stones where something was etched and today, a tablet is a high-tech gadget which can save almost everything! Even the cultures of the world have changed and, for example, gays and women are pursuing equality in the society.

Speaking of women, they are not like they were in the past- discriminated, objectified. This change in women, I think, has gone too far as you can observe in other countries. Women have become liberated that they are able to do the bad things only men are known back then doing such as cheating and other illicit affairs. That is one thing I cannot change, but never want to be a part of. 

I am Viktoria Anufrieva from Eastern Europe and I am glad that Ukraine still adheres to the traditional culture. Ukrainian women may be modern but don't have to be as wild when it comes to love and sex. I am 26 years old, very passionate about the things I do, and even hopeless romantic. I had been into several sad love stories that had caused me so much pain but with the help of friends and family I was able to recover, and now, my heart is open to love again. I believe that soon I will find The One.

Basically, I am a woman who loves romantic comedies and chick flicks and chick lit and I also love recommending to other people. It is because I get touched easily with whatever I see, read, or listen to. I love taking care of anything that is important to me such as stray cats or even the oldest gift I received and I also get excited with romantic surprises either when I just witness it or if the surprise is for me. I love giving advice to other people, but I admit that I cannot do it if I am the one in the same situation. Up to now, I cry secretly when things get tough. 

That is why I hope that my Prince Charming will someday click this profile and we will start writing a story that has "happily every after". Will you be the one?

I + U = Happiness

It was Friday morning. Customers were bolting in and out of the restaurant and I had to go to and fro to get their orders. It was rather tiresome transferring from table to table when a kid suddenly told me, “You must be made in Uranium and Iodine because all I see is U and I.” I don’t know about those things – those elements in the periodic table, the compounds they make, or the classifications, but the five-year old boy was so cute that his punch line was enough to make my day complete.

Many don’t fully understand Chemistry and I am one of them, but there are two things about it that I like. First is that nail polish is created because of it. I love painting my nails! I enjoy coating my nails with plain colors or detailed designs. Whenever I wore new nail polish, my friends would compliment them and admit their envy.

The second thing that I like about Chemistry, and I am sure that everyone can relate to this, is the compatibility of two persons to entangle their lives into one. This is quite figurative but not really unusual as society describes two people going well together with ‘good chemistry’?

Now my point is: if I am Iodine then who is my Uranium?

My name is Katerina Kabakova and I live in Ukraine. I am 27 years old but single. I am a waitress in a restaurant, waiting for orders, and even love? I am just a simple woman who wants to have a meaningful relationship. Gone are the days we deliberately make mistakes in love. We are the stage to look for our happiness.

I don’t have the pickiest standards; I just want a man who will protect me from harms and need me as the ultimate partner of his life. There is so much love I have to give, and if you think you can be the one I am looking for, our ‘everything’ can start if you click here.

Ana is Not Just Beautiful

In many decades, women were considered weak and defenseless. In the ancient terms of family, women were only object of sex, almost likened to slaves who absolutely submit themselves and had nothing to do but serve their husbands. Women were not allowed to earn and were not even given the right to take higher education. Now that the society has changed, I think that women should stand unafraid amidst the crowd of men to shape this world.

I believe that in order to be respected by men or even by society, a woman should build herself. That is why I, Anastasia Bu of Eastern Europe, really make it a point to be good at everything. I don’t want to hear from other people that, “Ana is just beautiful. She is good at choosing fashionable clothes, but has nothing in her brain.” I am a classy lady but I am not stupid.

I am working as a trade personnel, but my ultimate dream is to work on an advertising company. Aside from learning how to use creativity on effective marketing, I also devoted my life to intellectual pursuit. I am a bookworm and every kind of books from poetry to history appeal to me. I also like travelling because knowing different cultures is an interesting way to learn the society. I am also a theater actress because I love singing on a stage in front of a crowd.

However, you should not only improve your intelligence,  but also your personality. I was brought up in a family that gives importance to values and I am grateful for it. Although I am misinterpreted to be a bit nagging, I am just honest. I believe that in order for people to respect you, you must give them the impression that you are not gullible and you are not passive.

I know I am near to reaching my ultimate dream, and I also know that my dream man is now close. I am having the best time of my life in an international dating site I am currently on. You can’t fool me because I earned my degree but when it comes to love, I forget standards and just enjoy the indescribable feelings and where they lead me to. Check my profile and see if we can make things work.

Six Things I Live For

There are six things I wake up to every day. The very first thing, which is my ultimate passion, modeling. Second and third are sports and dancing for these are essential for me to be physically fit and to maintain the good shape of my body. Fourth is reading because it is just right to enhance your brain when you rest from improving your body. Fifth is learning languages which can be helpful in the sixth and last thing and that is travelling.

I am Rita Markaronova from Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine. I have hazel eyes, which photographers love to focus on pictorials because according to them, my eyes seemingly speak for me and so every emotion they ask me to portray is genuine when I do it. The eyes are windows to the soul, and that makes me an effective model. I have a brunette hair that softly flows like Rapunzel’s that I really take care of and we, women, know that hair is the most important controllable aspect of your physical attractiveness.

Jazz, Pop, R&B, and even slow rock are my favorite genres when it comes to music. I do enjoy music a lot when you walk in the streets or sit somewhere peacefully. Music has a soothing effect that really touches your hearts and at times when you cannot find the right words to describe how you feel, the songs will speak for you. Someone taught me this and I have fallen in love with music ever since.

That ‘someone’ is a guy I met online (I am part of an international dating site and you can check my profile here) and that time I was much troubled with problems at home and some financial matters. He comforted me through his words and through sharing his bad experiences. Honestly, I thought that if you open too much information about yourself to another person too early, you also open yourself to danger, but he took the risk anyway because he sincerely wanted to make me happy.

After making me realize that there are other people who suffer worse problems than I had, I began talking to this guy every day. He was a musician somewhere in US and because I love music, he kept suggesting me songs that I would listen to and I would definitely end up loving so much!

When the time came when we talked about the histories of our past relationships, we seemingly felt each other as if only a table was between us until we dropped to confessions. I couldn’t believe it, but relationship through online is true and I could say that I knew my boyfriend more than my exes I dated face to face. Constant communication is really powerful.

To tell you, we will finally meet in a few months. I am saving my earning from my stints and he is saving his earnings from his gigs to make two ends meet. I am already 30 years old, and although I am a two years older than him, he told me that we are going to prepare our wedding the moment we meet. To know him is the best thing that ever happened to me. Moreover, I have told you that there are six things I live for every day, but now I am throwing them away because they are replaced by one. Of course, it is my boyfriend. 

Julia: Not Your Typical Princess

It takes time before you find your true love, but if you are really serious to find one then you should be willing to wait. It is an ancient-old saying known around the world that everyone looked up to and because of it, almost all girls imagine themselves as princesses who wait for the rescue of their knight of shining armor or the dance with their prince charming.

I have to repeat: Princesses are the ones who wait. In classic stories, Cinderella and Belle were unable to fight in the horrible situation they were both in; Snow White and Aurora were both sleeping while the princes search for them. For me, these representations of women make us weak and we seemingly need men to survive.

I am Julia Arkhipova, 33 years old, from Lviv. I am single now, and my past relationships with men ended usually because of their maltreatment of women. I am a Feminist and I really mean to fight for our right and welfare. Also, when it comes to love, I am not going to sit somewhere and wait if there is a man who will fall before my knees. I pull up my knees instead and find him myself! Society has changed and so far I like it because it is fair for everyone. I am serious in my search of true love. I did not find my life partner in Ukraine and it seemed as if no man, who treats woman as a precious being, did exist in the world. I tried some online sites and ended up on one internationally-known dating site. I was surprised to find out that in other countries there existed a lot of woman-loving men!

This particular dating site really has very interesting people who look for serious or not-so-serious relationship. During my continuous conversation with a guy who is ironically a Feminist, it does not take long before I realize that he is my soul mate. He clicked my profile and we just fell in love.

Dayan and Her Honesty

Hi everyone, this is Dayan Kovalenko. I am 28 years old, single, and living in Eastern Europe. Generally, I am a simple girl who doesn’t wish for anything too much in my life. I just want live peacefully surrounded by the people I love.

Although I usually receive praises that I am beautiful inside and out, I prefer to be known for being honest. Some people find me harsh or a bit bitchy but that is who I am, and you cannot change that. If you want people to behave well and treat you respectfully, you must show them immediately that you are not fond of playing or nonsense. I never try to be seemingly better or be someone else I am not, and I just don’t see any sense in doing it. You have to earn their respect by being consistent with your personality.

One thing you must take note: because I am honest, I hate people who lie a lot.

The other side of me is that I am an active fan of online dating sites. I joined as lot of online matchmaking community, and I enjoy talking with different kinds of men because I have this knack of figuring out if what they are talking about is a lie or not. It is somewhat unbelievable but it is true; I scold every man who is coaxing me to fall for them until they spit out that they are lying. I really hate liars, and if I only have superpowers I want them piled somewhere cold and dead!

So far I have turned down several men and out of the blue, a guy confronted me. On one chat, he told that he was pissed at me and he challenged me of how honest I am. That was the greatest fight I had on internet and it was the most conversation I enjoyed the most. It was just surprising that the man I had exchanged with swears became my boyfriend. I really like men who go against me but can level with my ideas, but it is not requirement.

I dream about relationships with man who will love me for who I am – that is all. It's so simple that it's difficult to believe in it but I really don't have any high standards or expectations because all other things we look for are just trivial and hindrances. It doesn't matter for me where he lives, how much he earns, if he has kids or none. If I feel happy and loved next to him, it's the main thing for me and my boyfriend is exactly like it. He is so captured by my charm, a unique charm possessed only by the women of Eastern Europe.

Likewise, I am captured by his. Would you like to know if you are captured by mine?

                                                                                                           

A Woman Who Changed by Love

It doesn't matter who you love or where you move from or to because you always take yourself with you. If you don't know who you are, then there is always a possibility that you will feel as if you don't belong.

I am Christina Dyadyun from the Eastern Europe. I am 25 years old but I am not a girl who doesn't know what to do in their life up to now. I don’t even consider myself as a ‘girl’ and I prefer being called a ‘woman’ because I believe that my experiences in life molded me to become strong and independent. To overcome hardships on your own is hard but I learned that you shouldn't give up easily. I also believe that I am already mature in terms of decision-making and dealing with different kinds of person.

So, I know who I am and I believe in my uniqueness. I don’t worry about being left out in any place.

As part of my going-on-my-own way of living, I joined internationally known online dating site where women from Eastern Europe and men abroad mingle. I ignored all men who are too young, happy-go-lucky or immature because I don’t want acting like a mother to a man who seems to be a teeny-weeny baby. My ideal man is responsible and not too clingy. I almost quit the site but a man singled out and really caught my attention.

I already know what I want and how to achieve these goals, but talking to him made me realize that it's impossible to be fully satisfied with life without a strong and supportive men's shoulder. Everyone has the power to change himself/herself and choose the way of life in order to become happy, and he changed me. Dreams are what push you to live and he definitely became my dream.

I didn't leave the site because with the great distance between us, we always want to get connected. Thanks for the dating site; it taught me how to be happier. Do you mind if we talk about dreams? If you don't, then see me through this link.

Lovely Lily

Flowers are beautiful – they bring cheer to those who are sick and lonely, they make every woman smile, and they even serve as proof that the one who had passed away are remembered. Flowers have a lot of meanings and uses and so I am very thankful that I was named after a flower.

I am Lily Doronin from Eastern Europe, 26 years old and single. My eyes are brown like the soil, and my hair is blonde like an Asiatic lily. I really love flowers and that is the thing I always tell to other people. They get annoyed sometimes, but this is me. The flower is my name.

Even though I am fond of flowers, I have an ironic personality. I am a strong woman; I know every woman is strong, but I mean physically. I am very active kind in physical activities such as sports, dancing and exercises and I always try to get some time to visit the gym. I really like to keep a keen attention to my shape and even, to improve it day by day, and I am not hard up in working out because it is actually part of my future profession. I am a Physical Education teacher, and I really enjoy this position because it is so nice to teach my students and influence people to take care of their body and health.

Aside from sports and flowers, I also love watching movies and cooking. I got this fondness of movies to my father, whom I share the sofa whenever he had bought new CDs; though we are not doing that anymore because you can just carry the film’s copy anywhere and watch it via Internet. My interest overcooking is for my Mom, of course, and our specialty is the famous beet soup popularly known as ‘borscht’.

To my male friends, I am a flower of Ukraine. I am one of the beauties of Eastern Europe. So this is me.

As Blue as the Sea, As Black as the Night

Hello guys? This is Ksenia Skidanova from the Eastern Europe. Don’t be overwhelmed with the pronunciation of my name; you can just call me Kiss. That is more sexy to hear and way easier to say, right? Plus, there is more to me than what is in my name.

I am 25 years old, Christian and Bachelor’s Degree holder. Busy as a bee, I still manage my time to have fun. I love hanging out with my family and friends. They are my ‘forever’ people. If you ask me anyway who my forever man is, my answer will be: I haven’t found him yet. I am positive with the stars in Heaven and prayers on Earth that I will find him, and when that time comes, the Heaven and Earth will unite for both of us. I love imagining his hands with mine – it is so romantic!

My eyes are as blue and deep as the Sea of Azov and my hair is as black as the night. It used to be red but I had a change of heart since I really want a new look. It sounds vain but when I look at my face in the mirror, I remind myself that I am either the sea or the night. Actually I love nature, especially the sea. Like I have told you earlier, there is more than what is in my name. People told me that I am filled with mystery and that make me so interesting.

However, if there is anything that is not mysterious about me is that I really want a family and to have children. I am not lonely being single because I get to enjoy my life to the fullest, but it will be more enjoyable if someone is there for me when I sleep and when I wake up. It will be fun if someone will sit by me in the shore watching the waters pound the sands. Yes, I am in love with life but I am also in love with the one who make it worth living.

I am a sympathetic person with great sense of humor. I hope there is this one man who will laugh at my jokes. I always receive compliments from my online friends living in the different sides of the world that I am too beautiful for them, but I hope they cross out that notion because I can be your foreign girlfriend. I am waiting for you here.
