Yes, yes....in a 182, not going 182.  Just finished another hotrod, so my thoughts are more into cars than planes at the moment.  But yes, crazy indeed.  I think the ignition sw completes the circuit to fire the mags...must have been

I went over and met just one and I can tell you for sure I would never do it again........My fiance would Kill me if I did :-)

Kidding aside, Jack knew I was going to see just one (I used his services for the apartment and Airport stuff in Kiev which worked out great), he gave me his number just in case, but I left it on the e-mail server as I didn't want to think about it not working out.  I'm happy that all went as planned!  The usual disclaimer prevails, do what you feel comfortable with.  I travel a lot internationally for business and feel right at home in new places (except planes, I've grown to hate them :-) Its a great place to visit even if nothing works out.

Now here's where I strongly disagree. How is this different than meeting a woman here? Please show me a list of how you would get to know a woman here. And then show me a list of how you would meet a woman there. And then explain the differences and why you think that your way is the best. I'm pretty set in my ways and I'm not going to change. But maybe your answers will help some of the undecided guys to choose a path.

Trying to know the woman you're going to marry is the most important thing in my mind. It has absolutely nothing to do with how many women you meet and everything to do with whether or not you know your lady and yourself. The culture and language barrier is significant. But speed dating isn't the same as really learning about the culture and people over there.

Speed Dating is a valid technique, and it's also applicable to meeting someone here in North America.  An organization near me sponsors "Speed Dating" sessions as they call them where people get to meet several new people in a short amount of time.  It's a way of becoming introduced to each other.  I'm not so sure it's applicable to people who have already become introduced through some other method.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating this.  The wovo (with a backup plan) has a lot of appeal to me also.

I'm not looking for an argument here. I just don't see why we should treat a relationship with an RW/UW any differently than we would with a local girl. I'm not against speed dating either. But it doesn't work for me and I think some other people are also more comfortable going slower. You just need to be aware of the risks involved in each method. Jack's methods do have a certain appeal. If there was a group like you describe near me I would have tried it. But introductions are only a first step. I'm talking about the whole relationship.

If you are driven to meet and marry a woman under a certain amount of time. Jack's method would be best. No doubts. But would you really be marrying the best match? Sometimes the obvious choice isn't the right choice. That's why I always caution, slow down and get to know the girls. If they are really interested in you and you make the effort to meet them, they should be able to wait for awhile for you to ask them to get married. So why rush to your doom?

Jack... If this does not work out I will do the same thing where I find one that I like and I'll start over... I will go there this time with a backup plan though... I will have your number in my little black book...

I do have a question for you and any others that went over there and met many and are now married... What if you met your current wife as the first girl that you met over there? Would you have missed out because you did want to "compare" her to others?
