oh my... how embarassing
a gentleman acquaintance in australia offered to marry me last night, so that i could obtain a visa for the purposes of immigrating, and i realized that must have made (and continue to make) a terrible gaffe.
i seem to have given him the impression that i am seeking a partner in australia to assist me in the immigration process. nothing could be further from the truth. i am quite happy to - and capable of - handling the immigration process on my own, and should there be a second party involved in my immigrating, it will be the church.
i am seeking a partner in australia because that is where i will be emigrating to anyway - and the distance and separation will give us a chance to cultivate a meaningful friendship and real love based on knowing who the other person really IS (without the distraction of immediate physical gratification, which historically has resulted in my ending up with very sexy jerks). that is something that only comes with time.
if true love blossoms, a partner in australia can shorten the time that immigrating on my own will take, but i most definately am not interested in a partner in oz for the purpose of immigration....
i think i really must be more clear on that point in future......

I've actually heard of that happening quite often..not just in australia, but other countries as well...i don't mean to pry, but what draws you to australia?
People just don't get it sometimes!!...you land in a forgeign country...talking to somebody...and all of sudden, mid conversation, "Will You Marry Me?" ...marriage needs to based upon love, trust, and adoration...not access into another country...!! :)
the internet carries with is a HUGE measure of fantasy. that's not an insurmountable problem, its just something that has to be factored into the equation and managed appropriately.
its a wonderful tool to bring people in far-off lands together, as long as we never lose sight of the fact that it is simply a tool for communictaion. the real "getting to know you" interaction doesn't change regardless of whether you are in the same room, or in the same country. you need to give a relationship time and space to unfold gradually, respectfully, no matter where on the planet the parties reside...
our planet has become a cafe....
and as for oz? no clue what the draw is; but then i don't believe that one's dreams require explanation or justification! :)
oops - anonymous was me *blush*
