Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair Thank you for a great experience

I found my wife to be on the Philippines tour. Meeting her in person after emailing for a few months sealed the deal for me. Everything about the tour, especially the ladies were the best and they should be proud of their organization. Everything including the hotel and service was first class and if I had to, I would go back tomorrow. These ladies really were the best and you should be proud of your organization , The hotel was as nice as any hotel in Vegas that I have stayed at ,and thats the truth They charged us for every little thing ,except maybe for the "air" we breathed , but that is their culture and we adapted . the service and food was impeccable. a real first class place to stay If I could. I would go back tomorrow John. Thank you for a great experience and the little promo that they asked me to do on tape, was sincere and true and I meant every word of this.

Desired outcome: More single men need to join the tours

Recommendation: Go and meet them face to face. Writing letters will not do.

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair What a truly great experience

I want to thank this company for running such a professional organization. They made it possible for a serious guy like me to find a wife in the beautiful Philippine Islands. How I won her heart is still a mystery to me, but I am elated with the results. What an adventure life holds for those who are willing to take that first step to a truly happy and memorable life.

Recommendation: Stop sitting on the fence, put your best foot forward and go on a tour

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair Like no other tour

The socials was A1. You can’t ask for a better social than Lima, Peru. The women are breathtaking. I was dumbfounded, stunned as they were all so beautiful. Just mindboggling to see all the women there all dressed up nice, looking good. Just unbelievable. And all they want is a chance to talk and speak with the gentleman that is sincere, that really wants to be with them.

Recommendation: If you get a chance, go to Lima, Peru. You won’t be disappointed.

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair It was a frenzy

The social event was a frenzy. There's no other way to describe it. There were over 200 women, and they were literally pushing each other out of the way to talk to the guys, even average guys. It's like being a celebrity. You can't even walk across the venue without ladies stopping you and trying to take pictures with you. Everywhere you looked, there were beautiful women, and they all wanted to talk to you. I took 6 numbers that night. The ladies were literally pushing and pulling trying to get a guy at their table.

Recommendation: Book a tour and go attend the socials

I just returned from my Barranquilla tour, and if I had to put it into one word INCREDIBLE! Yami and the entire staff could not have been more helpful with anything we needed. I can not thank them enough! I came to Barranquilla wondering if this was really true. As I stood by the door watching the women come into the socials, I couldn’t believe my eyes, they where the most beautiful women I have ever seen! The hotel, they’re staff, the food and your translators were all first class! I came having my doubts and left having meet some great friends and in love with the most wonderful woman I have ever met!

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair LoveMe.com Review: My Experience with International Dating and Socials

I've been using LoveMe.com (formerly known as AFA) for a while now and I have to say, it's been a great experience. My first trip to Ukraine was a bit nerve-wracking, but LoveMe.com made it so much easier. I didn't bother with writing letters beforehand, I just gathered up a bunch of profile numbers of ladies I was interested in and emailed them to LoveMe.com. They got back to me with a list of available ladies who were interested in meeting me based on my profile and photos. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that 60-70% of the ladies were available to meet me. The LoveMe.com office put together a daily schedule of who to meet and where, and if I needed a translator, they provided one for a cheap hourly rate.

It wasn't until my future trips that I started attending LoveMe.com's socials, and let me tell you, they are amazing. The ratio of ladies to men was at least 10:1, if not higher. It can be a bit overwhelming at first, with so many beautiful women in one room all there to meet you! Every social I've attended has included being pulled away or interrupted by other ladies trying to meet me. It's not an exaggeration. All contact info can be freely exchanged at LoveMe.com's socials, and with Skype, Viber, or email, you'll be able to communicate with the ladies you meet.

To those who left negative reviews: you need to actually use LoveMe.com and do more than just write letters. Yes, there are scammers out there, but that's true in any country. You just need to be smart and avoid the ones who are obviously after your money or just want to go out to an expensive restaurant. All of my dates start with a cup of coffee, and it's much easier to weed out the bad ones in person than it is by communicating through letters and never meeting them. And yes, all the girls use professional photos for their profiles on the website. They're trying to make a good impression on foreign men, so don't be surprised if they look slightly different in person. They're still the same girl.

At the end of the day, LoveMe.com is a business, not a non-profit organization. Long-distance dating takes time and money, but LoveMe.com is here to help. So if you're looking for love overseas, give LoveMe.com a try. You won't regret it.

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair Loveme.com Review: My Experience with the Women and Tours

I recently joined loveme.com and let me tell you, the women on this site are absolutely amazing! I was a bit skeptical at first, but after doing some research on Merry-Cherry and reading reviews on loveme.com, I decided to give it a shot.

Now, I haven't been on one of their tours yet, so my opinion may not be fully informed, but I have a pretty good feeling about it. One reviewer suggested not wasting money on writing letters and instead just making a list of the women you're interested in and adding them to your hotlist. This makes sense to me, especially since you're already spending a minimum of $3,000 on the tour.

Another reviewer mentioned that some of the profiles may not be entirely truthful and that the women may not look like their pictures or even be the same person. This is definitely something to keep in mind, but I still think the tours are worth checking out.

Here's my theory: instead of writing letters, just add the women you're interested in to your hotlist and wait for the next tour to that country. Then, find a cheap apartment or hotel room through loveme.com and arrive a week before the tour starts. Of course, you'll need to find the cheapest flight to get there first.

Before booking anything, clear it with loveme.com administrators and see if you can get a discount since you'll already be in the country. After all, they're not 100% honest (as mentioned in previous reviews), so it's worth a shot.

If you like the first tour, you can always be magnanimous and go on a second one. Just remember that trust with these types of people isn't always easy, so be cautious.

Overall, I think loveme.com is definitely worth checking out if you're interested in meeting beautiful women from around the world. Good luck, boys!

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair Finding Love in Person: My Experience with LoveMe's AFA Romance Tours

My experience with LoveMe (loveme.com) was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend going on one of their AFA Romance Tours. Trust me, there is no substitute for being there in person. Don't waste your time and money writing letters to potential matches. You need to physically be there to truly connect with someone.

Once you have your plane tickets, you can start thinking about who you want to meet. You can either arrive with a list of possibilities or sort through profiles when you get there. But the most important thing is that you have to be there! If you do decide to write to someone before you arrive, make sure to keep it short and sweet. Starting a letter with "I am coming to (Her city) on (Date)?I find your profile interesting maybe we could get to know each other a little before I arrive?" is a good format to use. If she's interested, she'll respond. But remember, no lady that is serious about a relationship wants a pen-pal or e-mail buddy. They want to see you, touch you, look into your eyes, and know you are real. And let's be honest, that's what us guys want too. No letter can do what one actual meeting can accomplish.

I personally wrote to two women before I arrived on my tour. One of those women is now my fiancée! We were engaged after our first meeting! Sometimes you write expecting her to be the one, and she's not. But in my case, the chemistry was WOW! The in-person meeting could not have been better. It exceeded both her and my wildest expectations!

I corresponded with two women who were both over forty, which was in my desired age group. But everyone has their own criteria. Just remember to stick to it and focus! It's not easy to focus with over a hundred pretty ladies and girls with bright expectant brown eyes and long black hair, all trying to get your attention! The socials are a whirlwind of fun games, laughter, talking, and meeting with every lady! It's a lot to take in, so keep notes and stay focused! You may actually find the woman of your dreams. I did.

One final note, don't sell yourself or her short! Deciding on your future partner in life for the rest of your life is not an offhand decision. It takes time and turmoil of emotions for both of you. Get to know the woman, and let her know the man. Take as much time to do that as you possibly can. Stay for the two-week tour (or longer if possible). A week or ten days fly by entirely too fast.

Overall, my experience with LoveMe was wonderful and I am thankful for it. If you're looking for love, I highly recommend giving them a try. You won't regret it!

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair LoveMe Review: A Surprisingly Genuine Introduction Agency for Finding Love Abroad

So, I gotta say, I've never been one to buy into these kinda things, but LoveMe (loveme.com) really surprised me. I've only used the letter translation a couple times, but I gotta say, the dedication of the owners and staff is really something to behold. I've only experienced it in Cartagena, Colombia, but let me tell you, these guys really know how to put on an event.

I originally went to Colombia to try and buy an introduction agency, but after spending a few trips in the city, I became more and more interested in how the service worked. I went to the same place where they put on an event, and there were hundreds of women of all shapes, ages, and appearances. I was hooked.

Because of my passion for living in Cartagena, I relocated and lived in the city for more than two years. I opened a small internet cafe and helped a lot of the guys who came down for a tour. I did some translations and helped them find different things to do and places to eat while they were in this foreign country.

The one thing I did notice is that most of the guys I met had unrealistic expectations. They came to a foreign country as if they were coming there to save someone from their own life. Even though these women may live in a Third World country or a country that is not what you may feel equal to ours here in the United States, they still are living a good life. They just want a life with a good man.

I saw a lot of the guys that I knew come and go. Some came back, some came back many times. The one thing I can say is that they found out things that they could not find back home. LoveMe does everything that they think they need to do to keep every one of their clients safe by keeping them out of the bad spots or the places that may take advantage of them. They try to make good introductions to good women looking for good men.

The mail is a service to help make the introductions, and even though the staff is doing the translations, I have witnessed the women being in the office while the staff reads the letter to them and they send a response. There are more real women in this service than women you will find on dating websites here in the USA.

This is a good service, but you also have to understand that you can't just pick what you think is the best one to your eye and expect them to just want you back because you wrote some letter and paid for translations or took a tour there to meet them. This is a service that will help you meet a lot of beautiful women who are really interested in meeting men that want a good life together.

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair LoveMe Tour to Ukraine: A Life-Changing Experience

I just got back from a trip with LoveMe (loveme.com) to Ukraine and I gotta say, it was one of the best experiences of my life. I know some of you might be skeptical, but trust me, this is the real deal. I went on a group tour with AFA and we visited three different cities: Odessa, Nikolaev, and Kherson. At each stop, we had the chance to attend socials where we met some of the most beautiful and amazing women I've ever seen.

Now, I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit nervous at first. I mean, the ratios at these socials were insane. It was like 10 girls to every 1 guy! But let me tell you, once you get over the initial shock, it's an incredible experience. These women are looking for a good man with good family values, and they're not afraid to show it. And the best part? You're the commodity. You're the one they're all vying for.

If you're like me and you have trouble getting your nerve up, don't worry. The staff at LoveMe are amazing. They're always there to help and they'll even provide you with a translator if you need one. And trust me, you'll want to talk to these women. They're not only beautiful, but they're also kind and easy to talk to.

Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The tour exceeded my expectations in every way possible. And the staff? They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. So if you're thinking about going on a tour with LoveMe, my advice is simple: just do it. You won't regret it.

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair LoveMe Review: Spotting Scams and Finding Genuine Women

Hey guys,

I've been using LoveMe for a couple of weeks now and I have to say, it's been a bit of a mixed experience. While there are definitely some genuine women on the site, I'd say that around 75% of the profiles are scams. And to be honest, I think the site itself is also about 75% scammy.

So, how do you spot the scams? Well, there are a few warning signs to look out for.

Firstly, if a woman's profile only has studio photos, that's a red flag. I mean, come on, we all know that most women have a few decent selfies on their phone that they could use. If a woman's profile is full of professional shots, it's probably a fake profile.

Secondly, if a woman starts sending you lots of pictures without you even asking for them, that's another warning sign. Sure, you don't have to pay to open them, but it's still a sneaky way for the site to try and get more money out of you.

And finally, if a woman's profile says she has an email address for sale, don't bother. It's a scam. I tried emailing one woman and she never received my message. When I contacted LoveMe about it, they didn't even bother responding. Not cool.

So, how do you avoid the scams? Well, there are a couple of things you can do.

Firstly, read the profiles carefully and make sure the woman speaks a language you both have in common. And don't be fooled by women who lie about their language skills. If you can't communicate with her properly, it's not worth pursuing.

Secondly, ask the woman to verify her photos. This means she has to take a selfie holding up a sign saying "Hi, I'm XX" and attach it in the next email. It's a low-cost way to make sure she's genuine and it shows that she understands your instructions and intentions.

Overall, LoveMe can be a bit of a minefield, but if you're careful and follow these tips, you might just find someone genuine. Good luck!

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair LoveMe Tour to Lima, Peru: A Life-Changing Experience

I had a unique experience with LoveMe (loveme.com), formerly known as AFA, that I believe sets me apart from most others. My name is Joe and I attended LoveMe's tour to Lima, Peru several years ago. It was my first trip to South America and I was excited for a unique experience, and I was not disappointed.

Upon arriving at Lima's modern airport, I was driven to my hotel, a luxurious 21-story building in the heart of the tourist district. The hotel was safe, comfortable, and convenient, and I didn't have to worry about anything except meeting the ladies and going on dates. Supermarkets, drug stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues were all within reach.

The next morning, I walked five minutes to the LoveMe office and met several other guys on the tour and the office manager. The guys were all excited to be there and asked many questions.

Later that evening, we (the guys and translators) met on the fifth floor of the hotel for a quick orientation, then took the elevator up to the 21st floor. As soon as we stepped out of the elevator, we were face to face with dozens of beautiful Peruvian ladies, all dressed elegantly. You could tell by the way they were dressed that they took this event seriously.

As the ladies signed in and were directed to their tables in the ballroom, we stayed in the hall and talked to our translators. I talked to one lady for a few minutes and asked her to translate for me.

Finally, we were let in. You sit down at a specific table for 15-20 minutes, then a bell rings and you and the translator get up and go to the next table. I found it to be an effective system. This way, you are not allowed to hang back against a wall trying to gather your courage to approach a woman at a table. Here, you have an excuse to meet her along with the other ladies at the table. The LoveMe staff did an excellent job of keeping the guys moving from table to table.

My general style when I sat down at the table was not to quiz the girls but introduce myself and let them ask me questions and have a discussion, then see which ladies were most appealing. However, you will notice that some ladies will try to monopolize the conversation and keep your attention on her. So be aware of that and try to talk to the more shy ladies as well. During the socials, the purpose is generally to get to know which ladies you would like to take out later. I collected phone numbers, emails, and photos so I could identify them later if I forgot who it was I wanted a date with. You are meeting so many ladies at one time; it is easy to forget who is who!

The rest of the tour, I went on several dates and saw parts of the city. The LoveMe office staff was very professional and assisted with which restaurants to eat at, places to go, and helped coordinate my dates by calling the ladies and arranging times for us to meet.

On the last few days of the tour, I had a great time but hadn't met that special lady yet. But I was very satisfied with the experience and had 20 or more emails and phone numbers of ladies I planned to follow up on after I returned home.

During this time, another translator from the tour was taking me around the city and asked me to visit her language school since her students had never met an American. So we went there on the last day of the tour and there I met my future wife, Angelica. Ironically, she was at the second social, but I did not make it to her table, so I didn't meet her that night. However, at the school, she had my full attention and we hit it off quickly and started corresponding after I returned to the US. A year later, after several other trips to Peru to visit her, an opportunity arose for me to live in Peru.

Our relationship was very strong, so I moved there and we were engaged several months later.

Living in Peru wasn't as different as one might imagine. Along with my future wife, I had other people assisting me in finding an apartment, learning the culture, and keeping up to date with travel visa requirements. If you have a good grasp of Spanish, you will find that life is generally 80% the same as in the US. People get up, go to work, come home to their families at night, and do recreational things during the weekend. People make less there, but many things are much cheaper, and the expense of one or more cars is not necessary since public transportation is cheap and widespread.

We now live in the states, although we would not mind moving back to Peru at some point. It was a great experience for me, it obviously changed my life, and I would recommend the tour to anyone.

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair Finding Love in Cartagena: My Experience with LoveMe Tour

Hey guys, I just got back from the Cartagena, Columbia Tour with LoveMe and let me tell you, it was an experience of a lifetime! I'm not the tour leader, but luckily I was joined by Ken, who has done this many times, so I felt like I was in good hands.

I spent my time at the airport working on my Spanish and trying to forget my Russian. I knew I would slip up more than once, but I was excited to arrive in Cartagena and get familiar with my surroundings. The socials were held on Friday and Saturday nights, and I was interested to learn that the ladies were only permitted to attend one or the other, so there would be a new group to meet on Saturday.

The LoveMe office was great, with a manager and several girls who work there. Everyone spoke English, so there was no problem communicating. What I noticed was that they really wanted to get to know me and what I was looking for. As I spoke, I saw them taking notes. What I learned is that they were attempting to identify ladies I might be interested in.

The socials were a blast! The beautiful girls were seated at numbered tables, and we were all assigned a translator and went from table to table in an organized fashion. This activity was very pleasant. At the end of an hour or so, we all had met each of the ladies present. If one of the clients was interested in a lady, it was a simple matter to let your translator know and a date could be arranged.

The next day, the office manager had several girls who were not at the social that she suggested I have a date with. I agreed and had a great time the rest of the day with several beautiful girls who were eager to show me their city.

Now it was Saturday and time for the second social. Remember, this was a completely new set of girls to meet. The process was the same and I circulated from table to table. I must admit that I was a bit disappointed that I had not met a girl that especially interested me. However, while I was sitting at the very last table, a girl and her friend arrived late. She sat next to me and I was delighted. We began to chat with the help of my translator and danced the rest of the evening. I asked her if she would like to meet the next day and she said yes.

Well, when we met the next day it was clear to me and my translator that we felt the same about each other. It was great. Although the manager had several dates lined up for me, I had to decline as I wanted to spend my time with Lina. Her picture is included.

Although this was a seven day tour, I spent the rest of the time with her. Normal AFA wisdom would say that I should have dated as many girls as possible, but we really enjoyed each others company. I wanted to know as much as possible about her and life in Columbia. She felt the same about myself and life in America.

However, all good things must come to an end. She accompanied me to the airport. It was sad to depart and she cried.

We are still friends on Skype and Facebook and communicate often. I must admit that there is a difference in our ages. For this reason it probably would not work, although this did not concern her.

Perhaps, I will have the opportunity to visit her again. We both would enjoy that.

The lesson for you is simple: nothing will happen unless you travel to the country of your choice. Letters are fine, but they will never take the place of meeting face to face as I learned. I have many friends who did this and met their one and only and are happily married. So, if you're looking for love, take a chance and book a tour with LoveMe. You never know who you might meet!

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair LoveMe Review: Finding Love Abroad with Entertainment Purposes Only

LoveMe (loveme.com) is a website that offers tours for people who are interested in finding love abroad. The company has been in business for a long time and they know how to operate the tours professionally. They make sure that their clients have a great time and feel like they have experienced a trip of a lifetime.

There are a few things that you need to know before using LoveMe's services. Firstly, the company provides a service that is intended for entertainment purposes only. This means that they do not guarantee anything and they are not responsible for any of the services provided by their foreign affiliate agencies. Secondly, LoveMe does not do any background checks on the women profiled on their service. This means that there are no quality control procedures in place at all.

LoveMe contracts with third-party foreign affiliate agencies in order to provide a high number of new profiles on their website each week. By using the service, you agree to hold LoveMe harmless, as well as its directors, employees, and affiliates, for any of the services provided by affiliate agencies. LoveMe does not recommend that you travel to visit any of the women based solely on their letters or correspondence. If you take a serious interest in one particular woman, LoveMe is not interested in arranging just one meeting. You must either book yourself on a tour or purchase a 'Club' package that is valid for one destination city for a minimum of 7 days.

All introduction letters sent to your inbox are distributed to multiple men, hundreds at a time. Some letters will look generic, while others will actually address you by name. These are all attempts by LoveMe and their foreign affiliate offices to pressure you into answering. Do not be fooled into thinking that the letter is personalized to you. It is not. LoveMe's own advice published on their website contradicts all this nonsense by discouraging you from opening and answering the 'speculative' letters from the 'affiliate' offices.

From time to time, LoveMe holds public events such as socials. However, it is unlikely that the ladies you are particularly interested in will attend. LoveMe is not liable for theft of database information, so you are using the site at your own risk. LoveMe does not warrant that your use of the site will be secure, be error-free, meet your requirements, or that any defects in the service or site will be corrected.

Despite having an Affiliate Program Manager based at their Phoenix office, LoveMe permits foreign affiliates to totally control the content uploaded to the system. Dubious profiles that may be fake or misleading can and often do appear on the site. LoveMe strongly urges you to purchase one of their tours if you are serious about finding a partner. However, they permit published profile content uploaded by a foreign affiliate and state in their terms that they cannot be held responsible for anything at all.

There are hundreds of foreign affiliates out there, and LoveMe has no control over the corruption that happens on a daily routine in countries such as Ukraine and Russia. LoveMe has no quality control procedure in place to prevent it. Hence why their terms and conditions state that when using the online service, you agree to hold LoveMe harmless, as well as its directors, employees, and affiliates, for any of the services provided by their foreign affiliate agencies.

In conclusion, LoveMe is a website that offers tours for people who are interested in finding love abroad. However, there are a few things that you need to know before using their services. They provide a service that is intended for entertainment purposes only, and they do not do any background checks on the women profiled on their service. LoveMe contracts with third-party foreign affiliate agencies, and they do not recommend that you travel to visit any of the women based solely on their letters or correspondence.

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair LoveMe Dating Agency Review: False Promises and Poor Service in Costa Rica

I had high hopes for LoveMe, a dating agency that promised to help me find love with women from all over the world. I had been communicating with a young lady from San Jose, Costa Rica since March 2014 through their "Express Mail" service. I spent almost $400 on Express Mail messages, hoping to develop a good friendship with her. She wanted to meet me and I wanted to meet her, so I flew to Costa Rica on June 11, 2014.

Before going, I wrote her with my hotel name and number, hoping she would call me to arrange a place and time to meet. However, the agency was blocking any contact information until the lady signed off on an Imbar form, releasing the agency of any liability. I was under the impression that the lady was receiving all my information and was going to call me. But, I was wrong.

The agency in Costa Rica knew I was coming to see the young lady, but they wanted me to contact them instead of her. They didn't necessarily bend over backwards to let her know about it. Looking back on the situation, LoveMe had a fiduciary duty to do it since they are a dating agency. While in San Jose, I spent most of the time waiting around the hotel, watching the World Cup, using the fitness center, and bothering the hotel staff. I was thinking that the young lady might try to call there at any time since I had given her the hotel number (which the translator was blocking unbeknown to me).

On the third day, I checked my email messages on the hotel computer and there was an Express Mail from her. My bank would not let me charge it at first with my Credit Card. She wrote me asking why I hadn't contacted her. I wrote to say that I was at the hotel and gave her the number again, but of course, the translator blocked it. Another set of Express Mails were exchanged between her and I, basically saying the same thing. You might think that the agency personnel in SJ would have shown some professionalism and told the young lady to go to their office ASAP and sign off on the Imbra so we could meet quickly. It appears to me from what happened next, that they were telling the young lady to wait to sign the Imbra until I went to their office. They wanted me to pay $200.00 for a membership.

Towards the end of my week in Costa Rica I became desperate. I called the LoveMe headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona long distance from my hotel in Costa Rica. They said that they would contact their guy in San Jose, Costa Rica and tell him what to do. The guy called me at my hotel. He said that I had to pay a $200.00 membership fee and send another Express Mail ($10.00) to the young lady to tell her to go to the agency to sign the Imbra and I had to go there also. I asked the guy why I had to pay $200.00 for a membership and why couldn't the young lady just sign the form and we could meet? The guy said it was too late for her to sign the Imbra without me paying the $200.00. He said that the LoveMe Office in Phoenix, AZ gave him this directive.

To make a long story short, I did not meet the young lady. After paying the airfare, hotel, food, and rental car, and all the Express Mails since March 2014, the last thing I wanted to do was pay for a membership fee, especially since I didn't know about it. The guy at the SJ agency said that I could have access to 200 additional women's profiles. Pretty stupid since I only wanted to meet the one lady in San Jose.

After I came back from Costa Rica, I called the agency several times, but the front office personnel were critical of me for flying down to meet the young lady. They gave me some reasoning that 97% of men who say they are going to fly off to a different country to meet a woman, never do. Finally, I talked with the owner and we negotiated for a month about what was going to happen.

He refunded me the charges for the Express Mails that I sent while in SJ and my long distance call. He had the guy in San Jose contact the lady and arrange for a three way phone call for 5 minutes. We talked, but the lady was still wondering why I had not contacted her. She thought that I was meeting and going out with other women.

About one week later she was able to go to the LoveMe agency and she signed the Imbra. I received her number and I withdrew my previous commentary that I had written and a complaint to the BBB. I made several attempts to contact the lady by phone, but I always receive a message, "d?j? su mensaje." (leave your message). I have not been able to reach her even though I have called numerous times around the times the agency told me to call her. LoveMe did arrange for another 3-way conversation (without letting me know ahead of time) for 5 minutes. The young lady seemed to be very ambivalent. She said that I could call her that Sunday between 4:00 pm. and 4:30 pm. The same thing happened when I called her number at that time.

The owner tried to tell me that it appears that she only was going to meet with me for one day when I was in SJ; trying to deemphasize not being able to see her. I tried to explain that we had written about meeting for dinner or breakfast too. I had rented a car and could have picked her up from work and conveniently gone out to dinner and passed more time together. We were developing a good friendship and I wanted to continue it. After I arrived back in California, she had written me that she had adjusted her only day off, making sacrifices to be able to spend time with me and was disappointed for not being able to meet.

It was as if I was passing through some surreal, twilight zone experience. For one week I was in limbo waiting and hoping to hear from her. I thought maybe she had stood me up. After returning home, I was pretty depressed and annoyed for a month. The closest thing to an apology that I received from LoveMe was when the owner told me that "the last thing you wanted to do was pay for a membership fee after traveling all the way to Costa Rica." I seriously doubt the agency personnel in San Jose and Phoenix have offered the young lady an apology. I would like to see a personal one written to her. Even if I never have a chance to see or speak to her again, they really need to write her an apology in my opinion.

Now, I am reposting my review because I want other men to be aware of what could happen. LoveMe emphasizes their memberships and tours. Emails and Express Mails are a small percentage of their business. Also, the translator reads all words, checking for contact information in the Express Mail until the lady signs off on the Imbra. If you have any questions and if can contact me, feel free.

Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair wicked deceptive tricksters, traps, unfair and misleading

This was started by Kenneth Agee, John Adams and Ron Redburn and to begin with they are DECEPTIVE because their name is misleading because its says "A Foreign Affair" meaning that it supposed to concern the whole of Europe for Sex Tours and I have been on there tours which 70% of all the woman they invite are known to be Prostitutes from the streets of Ukraine. China, South America, and the Philippians. Their site actually concerns just part of Europe, Ukraine, and China, South America and the Philippians. I guess for them that means Europe is made up of just one country! This site was named so because the owners think other "Foreign Affairs" that don't come from their own country are cheap and inferior ones and only ones that do come from Europe are the superior ones! Again here is where they are misleading and so if you connect with an American, Canadian, South American, etc well guess what your connection for them is inferior!

Now here is where they become truly deceptive because when one joins their site and you begin talking with the site owners about your needs (which are not ridiculous needs but sensible needs like for e.g. advice) the site owners actually are known to refuse to help you. This has happened with several on several occasions!

It has been known that if you point out to them in a nice way the problem of their refusal to help you with what you have asked them simply to do they act arrogantly, refuse to apologize and correct their mistake, and they will actually cancel your membership with the site without your knowledge or agreement. Here is their unfairness or prejudice!

The 3 owners of this site have been found guilty of such actions, they make not claim to do background checks on their ladies as well as the men who take there trips. They try not to find a wife for you, they are more interested in having you take there sex tours over and over again.

Even if one tries to reach them again for restoration of one's membership they will not respond to one's email or attempts to reach them. Again Wickedness!

You see here is where their trickery and skills in trapping other is because they want individuals to book tours with them even if you don't really get any results on the tour they get to pocket your money and you do it without complaining. In other words you become their obedient lackey and "suckup" because you fear them booting you off their site and not taking you one any of their "tours" where you might not even find success on these tours anyway! This is why one finds these "suckups" on their site who see wrong on the site and with John Adams and his so called wife who by the way he treats more like a slave then a wife.

Their arrogance is however today exposed and those who say that they are "real" are not saying the truth that they are indeed real at being wicked, arrogant and also deceptive!

I did meet my wife using a similar service, as I found this service to be too restrictive. There is not enough information to determine the woman's character, and most of the European women they present are from only Ukraine. A much better site is www.lava-place.com They use a personality profile (similar to eHarmony), and can help with the initial personality match criteria. Remember, the added language barrier makes understanding personality types more difficult. I found the personality matching service most accurate, allowing me to concentrate my search time on matched personalities. My Russian Bride told me she had been looking for me for almost 9 months, when I found her in only 4 weeks (because the profile match system).

All they do is take advantage of some good guys like me trying to find a good girl. More and more people should know all the BS of this company. I've made a series of videos explaining in detail how they make you waste hundreds and even thousands of dollars with their lies. " Meat market socials"

loveme.com is a scam site. I met 2 women on that site who didn't want to give me their personal contact information after several emails, even though our communication was going exceptionally well, thus forcing me to pay $10 every time I wrote and received a letter to their women. I'm not even sure whom I was corresponding with. It may have been someone...
