Rand doesn't have the time to be tempted by such things. Example: <i><b>dear, u are very nice</b> I greet you Since early childhood I've been told that I am a beautiful girl and other people seemed to be thinking of me as of some doll. I will never accept such attitude to me from my future life partner. I am an individual, a person with feelings, emotions, worries, hopes and dreams. I am intelligent and communicative. I am not a baby-girl who is thinking only of her make-up and outfit. Unfortunately the predictions of my friends and relatives that I will meet a charming prince at a young age didn't come true. I ran into so many obstacles, I've seen real life experience and certainly I realise how much a real family, based on love and trust is important. I will value and appreciate my family more than anything in the world; I will be as devoted to my future husband as no single woman has ever been. I know that you were looking for me and I will wait for you at russiabrideonline.info/?idAff=182 with all my hopes and dreams. Looking forward to hear from you soon Sabrina B</i> Discuss...
