I joined my first international dating site in 2018. I didn’t know what to expect—honestly, I thought it would be all scams. But after months of chatting, I met a woman from Ukraine who completely changed my view.
What worked for me was patience. I didn’t rush into sending gifts or declaring love. We started with messages, then video calls, then finally met in Poland after a year of talking. The chemistry was real.
I also avoided the “romance agencies” that charge per letter. Instead, I used sites where you can communicate directly and verify profiles.
Fast-forward four years—we’re married now and living in Canada.
My advice: if you treat it like online shopping, it will fail. But if you treat it like real dating—with time, respect, and effort—it can work beautifully.
