DeleteMy name is Zara, I am from Russia. I considered myself like a person who enjoy spending time with my friends. I also like to play tennis because I think it is a good sport to reaffirm my legs. I am excited about learning English because I am to move to USA. So, the man that I want to meet should have to be from America. For me it's boring a guy who doesn't have any initiative to do something like go to eat, to the cinema, etc. I am satisfied with a man who is bland, white, blue eyes and responsible with his life.

DeleteWhen I told my girl that I'm interested in her, she started to ask me too many amazing questions that I felt satisfied enough to tell her I love you after that conversation.During the conversation, i told her that I'm good at making jokes and I'm involved in the American red cross as a volunteer. She told me that enjoying her time in the weekend is the best thing in her life and she's excited about going out to the beach after I promised her to take her there next week. Then I told her that i hate being ignored when i take to somebody so don't try to do it with me and it will turn me off . Three months later after I admitted to her that i love her so much and I can't stand without being with her. Those three months passed were so challenging for me, but i did it and i proofed to her that i love her .

DeleteHi there, my name is Dan. I’m from Thailand. I’m interested in modifying cars because I’m an engineer. It is important for a wife to have a husband who knows everything about car because nowadays the price of gas and service has been increase. Therefore, if we are a couple, you won’t need to pay for fixing your car because I am going to do it for you. We will have a lot of money to buy tickets to travel around the world because I love traveling. My pictures will not have only me anymore, but they will have us hugging tightly everywhere in several countries. For me, it is difficult to say a single sweet word. Some people said “Easier said than done,” but for me doing something for my love is easier than giving sweet word or sentences.
ReplyDelete(It is important for a wife to have a husband who knows everything about car ) cool man ^_^

Hello, my name is Omar and I'm 20 years old. First of all, I saw your pictures in your profile and your interests too which make me feel that I want to meet you because you look beautiful in each picture of you and your interests are almost similar to mine which lead my mind and my heart to agree that you probably are the person who I'm looking for. Meeting you is something I really want it and I cant stop thinking about it because I feel like we are going to be a great couple together. Second, let me tell you about myself to know what kind of person I'm. I like having a relationship that is based on honesty which there is no space for lying and deceiving in it. It is said (by people) that I'm smart, kind, funny, and respectful person. I'm not bragging by saying that ,but because I don't like talking about my bad and good traits to avoid lying, I prefer meeting me to discover me and to feel if what people say about me is true or not. Finally, If we will have a reciprocal love and a lot of matching things, I can guarantee for you that I will make you an angel by giving you the possible and the impossible things and showing you too much love that make me unforgettable person in your life and hard to find when you lose me. In conclusion, I hope my sentences are meaningful and convinced you to meet me. Could you give me your time please?
ReplyDeleteI like having a relationship that is based on honesty, which MEANS there is no space for lying and deceiving in it.
DeleteYour sentences are meaningful and they have convinced me that you have a very vivid imagination.
Because you said that I convinced you, I think I did the work perfectly as you expected to be. Do you think I have a magic tongue which helps me to get the girl who I want? :))
