If you are going to do the online thing I suggest you learn a bit of Russian and get a Russian/Ukrainian/Latvian/etc. phone number (you can buy a phone card with one for under $2). Then go to vkontakte.ru That is the main Russian language social networking site. You will have hundreds of friends in a matter of weeks from the entire CIS/Baltic State region. Christians, Muslims, light hair, dark hair, slant eyes, blue eyes, etc. Whatever you are into. Best of all, it is free and as legit as facebook (which isn't saying much!).
How do you meet folks on there? Easy. Play games. Those people LOVE games. Lots of girls play them. Once they know you are from America you will be gold. Everyone wants an American boyfriend. That is MAJOR bragging status.

This is more true in Ukraine. A screwed up land. A land that God made just for the likes of a screwed up boy like myself :kick:
