I am a new member here.
Well for me it is working good so far. I am using a free site that a
friend met his wife through. Although I already talked to this gal
that is here in the U.S. from the Philippines. She is younger than me
and so far we are a good match I think for each other.
How long should I wait until asking her out for a date???
I have not dated for 7-8 years. Last date was with a Chinese woman.
As for my experience, What turned me off about the Chinese gal, was
she very impatient but other than that I think she would have been
perfect. I met this gal on a online free site as well.
Hope you all had a Merry Xmas and Happy holiday season!
