I met my wife in the Philippines but if handing a P500 load card over the fence separating our houses so we could talk and text before I got to know her then yes!

I didn't send any for over two years but I did dish out some when I was over there so I'm not a complete tightwad

My ex-wife lives in Stockholm now, and my stepdaughter is over there visiting her (she just posted about it on FB this evening).
Also my son's girlfriend is Finnish, but brought up in Sweden...both living here with me now.
My son says everything is really expensive in Sweden, and they don't have big supermarkets like here...so I suppose no 50p cans of lager from Tesco ?

Its strange as I met Rina in person and I was with another woman at the time, something just clicked 3 days later I was hoping I would see Rina again as I got my flight back to the UK.
Fate has a way of getting you - "if you love someone set them free - should our paths cross again forever we will be".
Once we were established I spent a fortune on her - we travelled all over Asia, staying in the best hotels and having as much fun as possible. "those were the days"!
Now we are living as man and wife and Rina looks after me and my parents so well - could never put any price on that but I secretly think those that sow - reap and our lives are so much more positively endowed with goodness now!
Personally I would never send anyone any money before meeting them, but I never have done internet dating so I dont know what strings get pulled.

This is an interesting thread. David didn't send me money before we met but he sent me books (mostly written by English authors probably to make a point) to keep me occupied. When he came back to the UK after we met in Davao, he sent me around 80 quid to process my passport. But before he did that, I had to listen to his about how broke he was. Now, we're still broke.
UKBA,UKBA I am dreading to hear from you...
UKBA, a BRP for Christmas will do...

Despite all the advice not to, I have sent money, and also made some purchases off ebay.ph (paying with Paypal) and will probably continue to do so. OK I know I may be being scammed, but I think I'm a pretty good judge of character, and the endless chats and hours on Skype convince me that she is genuine. The problem is she is still young and studying to be a teacher, and yes I have helped with study costs. The way I figure it, if it does all go wrong, then at least I have helped someone get a foot on the ladder Its an amount I can afford, but that makes the world of difference to her. She is keen for me to visit next year, which I hope I can do.

In the end it's up to us all to make our own judgment...and it's our money.
I must admit that even I get a warm feeling sometimes
...then I thought, ah, maybe this is age-related.
