And of course beautiful lake and privilege of not having to lock your car. You are expecting her to give up her friends, family, people she has so much in common. May I ask what sacrifices are you ready to make?

I bet while you were enjoying the "benefits" of dating a beautiful 24 year old, she was getting cold feet and was looking for ways out. Trust me, Russians know that lots of consumer goods are cheaper in the US. Dude, times of jeans, coca cola and bubble gum are gone. A bouquet of flowers would have worked just fine. Do not blame your collapse on other people's material needs. Next time you are in Moscow or St. Petersburg, try over 30 or over 40 singles club. You will find quite a few fit, healthy, ladies that might move to Wisconsin.

But then again, as you put it "there are plenty of PRETTY girls" here in Italy.

I know lots of people here will disagree with me, but my friend you are not a victim here.

I know you're now thinking "why not just move"? I live on a beautiful wilderness lake where the water is so clear I can see the bottom 20 feet down. Outside my office window I see eagles soaring every day. I can leave my home unlocked 24/7 and the keys in my X all the time. It's so quiet here I swear I can HEAR the northern lights. Until you've lived or even visited a place like this you couldn't understand.
