    sending money before you met

    ok hands up who admits to sending money to their future loved one before ya met in person .I am guilty as charged lol when I first hooked up with my misus I was very green to the internet dating game and was not even aware of scammers etc etc .so after 2 months I decided to send 30 quid to her even though she never even asked for money or tried the sob story in any way .It was only when the chinese guy in the western union kiosk said to me do you know that this is a lot of money to a philippino and mentioned the word scam that I really sort of thought what if she is ? anyway she was shocked that I sent her money and thought it was a joke ,she sent her sister to collect the money because she did,nt want to be embarressed in case it was a joke lol .I told the chinese guy well its not a lot to me so if it is then I have,nt lost much .Then I sent a further 50 quid 2 weeks later and then we connected on cam for the first time ,she was very shy at first but soon the chatting started to flow and the rest is history 3 years later we are still blissfully happy

    kuripot here, got off lightly in never needing to send ANY money. But then ... ... I consider myself fortunate ... since Myrna earned a good salary as a teacher and all her family were self sufficient.

    My wife loves flowers. I often buy some just because I know she'll be so happy for that.

    They can't believe their son is getting married. They said it's their wedding present..

    Exactly what I plan on doing. Planning to get married at 40 too... I've sort of mentioned her and that I am getting married to my mum. My parents are long divorced and i don't plan on telling my Dad. He's not the easiest of men to talk to and i just can't be bothered to have to go through the lecture.

    I am a very private person..... I've only told my Sister and cousin about the marriage. My sister only found out because she's on Facebook and saw the messages between us. My cousin is like my best mate and i tell her most things.
    Other than that i value my privacy and don't give away much!

    Was the other way round in our relationship as i was the poor one

    My wife lent me 15,000hkd (1,200 pounds) to get my own flat in Hong Kong. At the time i was fond of drinking and spent whatever i earned! After 18 years she is probably regretting that decision

    it is normal to me as i am used of handling big amount,, my former boyfriend is loaded, he always carry thousands to squander it to casinos,, i am more surprised that my in laws trusted me that quick to think they haven't met me nor talk to me.
