Giving online dating a second chance

I have been a victim of online dating before. The story goes with a foreign woman and I meeting for the first time. I even flew to her country to see her. I spent thousands of dollars and especially sacrificing my time my only child. I’m divorced by the way. So we decided to meet in this certain place, set a time and eat for dinner.

But the worst thing happened. A very skinny woman who looked like 40 years old came close to me and told me she’s the one I’ve been chatting for weeks. And I was petrified. The pictures she has been sending me for weeks did not even match to what I saw that day. I lost my interest eventually. I don’t want to be rude at that time, so I talked to her for an hour only. I wasn’t just pissed but felt so betrayed.

Since then, I cursed online dating. I promised myself not to try it again. Months passed and a friend of mine will be getting married. He’s going to marry a foreign woman he met through a matchmaking service Peru Women. I guess it’s another form of online dating. But he told me it’s not. According to him it’s a legit site and the women are real. He told me the profiles are current and very authentic. He encouraged me to give it a try.

Should I try it? Do you think this site is much better than what I used before? My child wants a mom and I want to be married ASAP. Thanks for your responses!

Proposing to my girlfriend to marry me through video chat. Is it okay?

I met a girl on Peru Women four years ago and we’ve been together since then. In the course of-of our relationship, we’ve met only about four times. Despite that, we’ve managed to maintain a stable relationship. I love her and she loves me.

It has come to a point that I’m finally ready to settle down. I’m a middle-aged man with enough funds to support a family. I’m finally ready to start my own life with my girlfriend. However, I can’t propose to her just yet. Not because I don’t want to but because I can’t.
I just got promoted and I can’t file any vacation days yet with all the responsibilities I have on hand. She also can’t travel because she has her own commitments at home. Our anniversary is coming up, I was thinking of proposing on that special day, make it even special. Since we can’t be physically together on that day, I was considering proposing to her through video chat.

My plan is to have a romantic setup in my room, candles and all. I could enlist someone to help me take the video. Then, I would go down on one knee and ask her to marry me. Of course, I would do it all over again in person. I just can’t wait to call her my fiancee. I need some advice about my plan. Should I go on? Will it be okay? Do I just wait until we’re together? That’ll probably be a year from now. What do I do?
