How are you my dear,
I feel so glad I was lucky to meet someone as interesting and wonderful as you. May i introduced myself to you in a more comprehensive way which i believe is very important. My name is Richard Foster, I am 49 years old, a widow with one lovely and handsome son named Joseph, He's just 6 years old, and He lives with me here in North Carolina, USA. He loves dancing, playing and eating...He also likes meeting people, making new friends, and He is a very calm, interesting, understanding and fun little boy to be with, most of the time He likes having fun around the house with bunch of toys and sometimes at the park, beach and adventurous locations. But sometimes i see it in him that He lacks that motherly love and touch and i really wish He get it soon, I also miss a woman’s companion, someone to share my deepest thought and my worries with, someone to support, love and care for me and Joseph. It has not really been easy with raising Joseph all by me, but I am enjoying it any way. He is my son and I love him very much. I was introduced to dating site by my best friend, who got his wife from dating site too. After the death of Joseph's mother two years ago, i started to feel sad whenever He complains about having the care of a mum; I decided to seek advice from a marriage Counselor on how I will get someone really special and someone to spend the rest of my life with. That was how I got introduced to this site, that I can meet someone really nice and humble there, I am really impress that I met a person like you in this site because I never thought as much. I do not know my parents because i am an orphan, but the man that brought me up is late now. I grew up struggling and went to college and graduated. I'm a Geologist, I formerly work with one of the Oil Multi-National company, here in North Carolina, USA before I quit to face my own Art Gallery personal Business, coupled with my son, now am into Arts and Design. I am a Christian and a God fearing man, I have a lot to say about myself but few are to be mentioned which are as follows, Am a very ambitious person, optimistic, playful, hard working, devoted, intelligent, trustworthy, genuine, honest, sincere, witty and easy going man with lots of joy, love and happiness to offer to my true love and Mrs. right. I'm very passionate and emotional in all areas of my life. I am very responsible and try to eat right; hence I make sure that I keep fit, I also do jogging. I have always believed in a healthy relationship though I have not had one in a long time, It is important to be passionate, romantic, caring, with lots of laughter to keep the body and soul going. I have strong family values and my son is the most precious and only family I have now, He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. So Joseph is so precious to me, I do not leave him behind any time am out of the country. I take good care of him and He is always with me unless he is in school. We live together without the help of a maid as I took it upon myself to give him the best in life. I like the outdoors with my son and the weekend is always a special time for me and my son. For the past two years, raising my son Joseph alone has not been very easy. I am a serious minded man, I know what I want and I am ready to work towards it with all honesty and consciousness. I need a like mind like you for a serious and honest long-term relationship. I have attached a photo of me and my son please let me know if you got the photo. If i see your seriousness in this relationship, i will switch off my profile from the dating site, because i believe my heart has made the right choice by choosing you and i want to concentrate and give you my full attention. I will also like you to tell me in a comprehensive and detailed message about yourself, and also send me your picture. I will love to hear from you soon, bye and take good care of yourself. Kisses. Richard. |

Hello honey,
How are you doing today. Thank you for giving me a chance to know you. I really do appreciate that fact and I promise to be as honest and truthful as myself. It gives me a sense of acceptance and acquaintance, I think if we are truly sincere and honest to each other, we could be able to work out something nice. I am fully honest and ready to allow you into my heart, all I just have to do is to follow my heart and I hope we can establish a sweet and understandable connection that will be capable of binding us together, but first I really think we should Start by giving our emotions a little time to grow and getting to know and understand our selves better, before we conclude what will be more comfortable for the both of us. Though, I intend getting into something more serious with you, and worth my commitment and trust. My heart is free and I want somebody to occupy and fill it with love, care and honesty, Someone to share my inner and deepest thoughts with. Someone that will always be there for me and me for her, someone to enjoy all the good things of life with in all seasons, someone to travel on a vacation with, walk on the beach holding hands and laugh, seizing the moment and making it a fairy tale, I am hoping to open a new chapter in my life with YOU in it. Thanks for the phone number, i will try and get international calling card to call you soon. I have always believed in a healthy relationship, though I have not had one in a long time, It is important to be passionate, romantic, caring, with lots of laughter to keep the body and soul going. If there is anything else you feel i need to know about you, kindly ensure to also let me know ok, it will help me to understand and know you more and much. After i divorce my wife, she died in a car accident two months later, so ever since, I tried to have a new relationship with a lady, we dated for three weeks, but she suddenly stopped seeing me since September last year because, her ex boyfriend came back into her life again so she left me. So ever since, i have not had any other girl friend, i don't know why i haven't been able to find a woman who will truly open up her heart for me, but I'm not going to give up, i know someday my dream will become a reality. I want to have a happy family again, a family i can proudly call my own. I will switch off my profile from the dating site, if i see your seriousness in this relationship, because i believe my heart has made the right choice by choosing you and i want to concentrate and give you my full attention. I will also visit you in your country if everything goes well between us, because i believe that distance can not stop two people who are in love. My friend is married to a woman from Germany, but they are now living happily together here in my country, they found each other from the dating site. My friend also visited Germany to meet her and her parents before they finally got married. I really envy both of them, but i know that mine will happen soon. I would love to hear more from you, I see you as such a nice, interesting and lovely woman. Hope we can get along! Kisses. Zitat:

Hello my dear,
Thanks for writing me back, the arrival of your message brought smiles to my face because, i realize we both want the same thing. I am so glad to know that you desire what I desire, that is why we are going to be a perfect couple. I want you to know that i'm not looking for the most beautiful woman in the world, i don't judge a woman by her appearance, but it is her heart that i am looking at, and i believe that your heart is good and we deserve to be married to each other. There is an emptiness in me that need to be filled with the love from that special woman, which happened to be you, i'm hoping if God allows, we will get married and our relationship will last forever. I'm already praying about this relationship and i have confidence that everything is going to work out well between us. I want to tell you that you are the first woman i met on dating site, whom i'm really interested in, and immediately i saw your profile, i knew deep down in my heart that, i have found a wife and so I had to stop searching. Honey, I want to concentrate on building this relationship so that we can get married in the future, am serious about it. I am believing that you are the woman for me and i am the man for you without doubt. Each time i open my laptop to look at your photo, i see my future wife, this is exactly how i feel about you, knowing that you are a sincere and loving woman who need a sincere, caring, loving and honest man like myself. I will never mess with your feelings honey, everything i say to you is from my heart, and i mean it. I see you as a motherly and humble woman and i know you will extend your love to my son Joseph because, he is a very lovely boy. I will be a good husband to you and take good care of you. I will never disappoint you, this is my promise to you today. I want you to delete your account from the dating site, this will prove to me that you are really serious about this relationship. I will also delete my account. I want you to trust me on this, because any true relationship without trust, will never last, i hope you understand me?. I am so glad to know more about you, your background and history are wonderful and I want you to know that the man you need in your life now, is me (Richard). I will be a good husband to you, and I also believe that you will be a good wife to me and a good mother to Joseph. I will like us to take this relationship more seriously as it will make our lives better than it is now. Our meeting of each other is divine and destined to happen, so lets take each day at a time and write each other and also to chat on messenger, so that we can know each other more. I hate lies and I love truth and understanding. Honesty and trust is the best policy. Joseph loves dancing, playing and eating. He also likes meeting people, making new friends, and He is a very calm, interesting, understanding and fun little boy to be with at all times. Most of the time, he likes having fun around the house with bunch of toys and sometimes at the park, beach and adventurous locations. He also likes to ride on bike, and plays football at the fields with his friends. I am sending you the photos of me and Joseph took at the beach, i hope you will like it.

My Love,
How was your day?. Thanks again for the message you sent me, i also enjoy reading your message. My love, while i was at work, i always think about you because your thought is always in my heart. I am so happy and pleased to hear from you once more. I want you to know that, your love has touched the door of my heart because, Each time I open my laptop and find your message, I become so happy because I always see your message which gives me hope and confidence throughout the day. I believe that right now, i am the only man in your life now, and i really love you so much for having so much confidence in me. My love, i want you to know that, i made your picture you sent me, the screen saver of my computer, so that i can always kiss you before going to bed and also kiss you whenever I wake up from sleep. I think about you all day and I dream about you at night, you are so beautiful to me my love. You are a blessing to my life. I tell Joseph that you care so much about him, and he is very happy and excited about it. You are the reason I laugh, the reason I smile, the reason I hope for a better day ahead. I have always believed that true love is possible and I have always hoped for the day when a wonderful and loving woman like you would walk into my life and make my life better. The day I met you on dating site, was the day i found true love which is hard to come by. You have fulfilled and surpassed all my expectations and yet you still give me a reason to hope for more, darling, i am the most fortunate man in the world right now because you choose me. I will be the happiest man to hold you in my arms and kiss your soft and gentle lips and hug you when i come to visit you in Germany. Honey, i will do all it takes to pay you a visit soon, please let me know if it is okay with you so that i can fix a proper date of my arrival in Germany. When i come to visit you, we can also make plans for our marriage real soon because i want to be with you forever. Honey, please let me know if my visit is okay with you? and if you want, as i will also be coming along with Joseph our son. I want you to always believe in what is happening to you right now because, God has heard all the prayers that you have been praying all these years to bring you a man who would love and care for you, so i am that man and i want you to have it in your mind that God has heard your prayers because you asked him and now he answered you, so i do not want you to doubt okay? because God will never bring a man from heaven, the man you need is here on Earth, and that man is me and i am here for you forever. I also prayed seriously that God should show me my future wife, i told God even if the woman is not from my country, he should show her to me. Finally, when my friend introduced me to the dating site, the moment i saw your profile, i knew i have found my wife and i know i'll never regret ever knowing you because my heart tells me that you are the right woman for me. My love, i told Joseph that you will be his new mother and he loves the idea of us coming to pay you a visit soon. So my love, kindly look forward to our visit because we will surely visit you soon. Any time I am alone or at work, all I think of is you. When I am asleep, all I dream of is you. Can't you see that we can't be separated any more? Even distance and time can not reduce our love because it is true love we share. When we come to visit you, I will like you to take us to all the wonderful places you know like the beach, cinema, temple and so much more. I will also come along with Joseph because I do not leave him behind for any reason. You will also have the opportunity to show Joseph, a motherly love which he needs, because raising up Joseph alone, has not been easy for me at all, he lacks a motherly care and that is also the reason why i need a woman who will love me and also take care of Joseph. I believe that woman i am looking for is you honey, and i trust you. Love you sad you have some questions you like to ask me? please my love, feel very free to ask me anything ok? i assure you that i will answer your questions. I love you very much and I miss you darling, i will never break your heart! never. Kisses and hugs. All my love!!! Richard. Zitat:
