I think you need to send at least a 6-10 EMF letters to your lady before you communicate directly.
To cut out unsuitable ladies, I communicated important things (I would like kids, I want my lady to move to the UK, etc.) in the first couple of emails. Some ladies were just sending any old stuff to me in EMFs, but my beloved sends really excellent replies so she's obviously serious about things.
Few of the chnlove ladies know good English. Even with my lady I am truly baffled by some of the things she writes on MSN. We have a rule that we talk about important stuff on EMF, and unimportant things on MSN/Skype.
Also remember there are ladies of different levels of wealth and social class, some work 50+ hours a week, and not all have computers at home, or have easy journeys to visit their agency :huh:.
Oh, and make sure you know what Chinese ladies are looking for, it's not the same as what Western women are after IMHO!
