I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER OF THE NATASHA CLUB FOR A YEAR OR SO AND HAVE HAD A LOT OF CORRESPONDENCE, BUT SOMETIMES I FIND IT QUITE HARD WORK!! IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THESE SITES JUST "PLAYING GAMES."

IN ADDITION I'VE HAD ONE OR TWO RUDE REMARKS FROM LADIES WHO I'VE SENT SMILES TO BECAUSE THEY ARE MUCH YOUNGER THAN ME, YET IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG IN SENDING A SMILE TO SOME-ONE WHO IS PRETTY?.

AND ON THE OTHER HAND I GET MUCH CORRESPONDENCE FROM GIRLS 18-24 - USUALLY I WRITE BACK TO THEM TO TELL THEM TO LOOK FOR SOME-ONE MUCH NEARER THEIR OWN AGE!!!

SO, I HAVE NOW DECIDED TO DELETE ALL THE INCOMING AND OUT-GOING SMILES AND MESSAGES IN MY FILE AND START AGAIN!!!!

I AM SERIOUS IN MY SEARCH, AND I WOULD ASK FOR CONTACT ONLY FROM LADIES WHO ARE ALSO SERIOUS.

I believe that I'm a fairly considerate, generous, faithful, sincere type of person, always ready to listen to other people's opinions. I have a very good sense of humour. I work as a building services engineer, but I also operate a small publishing business, which I own and which is being developed considerably at the moment. This started started as a hobby, but now is becoming a successful business. I enjoy my work, and consider myself hard-working.

I like the idea of a relationship with some-one from a foreign country, because there's things for her to learn about my country, way of life, etc. , and vice versa. I have corresponded with ladies from Russia and various former Russian countries for the last two years or so, and I've learned a lot about life in those countries, and to some extent, how hard life is there, or, conversely, how easy it is for people like myself in the west. If I ultimately get married to a lady from a Russian country, it will be very satisfying to be able to give that lady a better life, which I'm sure the west can offer. I think that it's important to build a friendship with some-one initially. I like to think that I will get married again, because I like being married ─ when things are good! ! ! I like the companionship and friendship, but, after one failed marriage, I know that it's important to find the right person. I would like to meet a lady from 36-48. Whether she has children or not does not matter, but I do not like smoking.
