Is it recommended to have an agency involved as I already have my lady chosen and know where we are meeting? Do not know now if a second meeting will be scheduled, but trying to plan in advance.

Its always good (IMO) to have someone that can help you if you have problems. I am not advocating paying 1000's to some agency to "use" their services when you can quite easily do without by making your own arrangements, but if you have a decent agency, they should be more than happy to make your arrangements for a nominal fee ontop of the price they pay and this is worth not having all the bother for yourself.

Also, if things do go pear shaped, at least you will have a point of contact in the local city.

Thank you for your advice Jody. And appreciate a response.

There is always a host of debates on how this should be done, but IMHO there is no downside to having a backup plan. I fully support the idea of meeting one lady at one time. I am not a fan of the "Visit Many" approach although others will argue differently.

I would strongly urge anyone on a first trip to get involved with an agent who provides a multi product service, IE translators, airport transfers etc and and also the opportunity to meet ladies that way if you so choose.

You can continue on your original plan and simply use the agent if or when you need them for any given service. If your meeting is successful, in all likelihood, you won't need to use the agent for anything other than perhaps some logistical support. If your meeting is not successful, then you can revert to your agent for other services.

I see no downside to using an agent on a "Fee for Service" basis. I think this process is largely about risk mitigation and this seems to me to be a simple way to remove some of the risks.

All the best.

I have been emailing a lady named Natalia that I saw on RussianEuro website. She lives in Ukrain in Odessa. She speaks no English so she is using an agency near her home called blackseabeauties. The interpreter is charging $2 a page. Natalia said that the agency needs $50 to continue interpreting my letters and an additional $25 to pay for the her bill as well. otherwise they will discntinue the services and Natalia will not be able to communicate with me.
Is this a scam? or ligit? I'm new at this and I just recently joined this forum.

Thanks
Den
