We have been shortly pen pals, for a few months in 2007. It was cool. That was the first time i perfectioned my english to be able to communicate without dictionary.
A bit more background information...
I first met her on a "orthodox christian dating site" she was a convert, but amerimutt (but waspy english/german she told me she has cousins in germany and that i have a german accent, we had a phone call once)...
I told her that im a gypsy and send her pictures of me and my family....
I do think that was probably a problem, and im not sure but i think that was the main problem, i think she wanted a white guy...
She told me it was "like a dream with two people involved and not real" and she broke up any contact forever... not even as "just occassional pals anymore to have contact" just to drop a hi, nothing, i was really sad.
