Hi everyone. I'm new here, this is my first post.
So uhm... well I've got a situation and some help, suggestions and comments about it would be greatly appreciated.

So, I'll try to make a long story short. I am Canadian and I met a Polish girl last year on the internet. We really bounded and we fell in love with each other very much. She lives in Krakow and I went to visit her twice, once in November last year and in April. For those who have experienced a long distance love relationship, well you probably will agree with me that it is not a very easy thing to deal with, but nevertheless I thought she was worth it. We were suppose to get married, actually everything was going pretty well and wedding was on its way, but I had to cancel the whole thing because... well for many factors, but you see, the plan was to get her here in Canada, but there was many things to consider and, well... as she has two young kids, it makes it a huge responsibility to be a sponsor and I simply couldn't afford it. Anyway, I won't expand myself more on this subject, this case's closed anyway.

So, of course it was hard on our relationship after that, but we stayed together. The hope to be together has always kept us together. And after that, only option for us to be together was for me to move to Poland. And now that really is the subject I wanted to bring. The thing is, I am an insecure person -and I don't talk Polish by the way, only english and french- and I was scared, and I wasn't sure about moving there, if I could find a job and such, and I wasn't sure if I would ever get the courage to move there, so I broke up. Well it's only resuming a complexe situation, but anyway it is what it is.

But now I'm really having second thoughts and I miss her. I'd really like to move to her. At least give it a try, to see if it could work, or else I fear I will always regret it. So, what should I do? Is it possible to find a job if I don't talk Polish? Of course I would learn it eventually if I'd move there, but still it might take a while. I'm an artist. I can make illustrations, paintings, all kind of things. Is there good opportunities for artists in Poland? Thanks...

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

you saw each other twice and you are in love?

are you dumb?

she doesn't really care about you, she needs a sponser $$$

its all about the money, dinero, kasa

I agree with witek.

It's not love buddy, it's lust. She's probably your first love experience/girlfriend. Forget marriage if you're under 30, damn dude, enjoy your life!

How old are you anyway?

A chick with baggage?? Haha, she doesn't love you. She loves what's in your pocket (and i'm not refering to your pecker).

She's a ..................GOLD DIGGER!!!!!!!!
Run!

That's a horrible thing to say. You don't know enough about this relationship to make that kind of judgement.

I am a single parent. I have a "child", not "baggage"! And if I were to become involved in a relationship (in this country or elsewhere, money would not be the top priority, or the second, or the third......there are other things that matter more!

they have seen each other twice and are in love? i think not. i don't believe it.

she is probably sleeping with other guys in Krakow and he sends her money.

a sucker is born everyday.

They live far apart...you can't visit every week in that case. They need some face time together to see if they are compatible. That would help them to make an informed decision.

Don't paint your skepticism on his canvas. It doesn't help him solve the problem.

Wow, I didn't expect so many answers so quickly... so many answers filled with prejudices and ignorance. Ha! How could I forget about that good old "she's after your money" cliché? Like I haven't heard it a million time already....

I know what it can look like from the outside, but please don't bring me your unpleasant and nescient judgments. What do you people know about love? You have the ability to tell when two people are in love for real or not when you don't even know them?

Yes we have met only twice, I have to work here, and trips to Poland are expensive. I can't afford to go there every weekend, duh! That's why I would like to move there.

she doesn't really care about you, she needs a sponser
Sorry, but you missed the point. I said this cased was closed. And when I cancelled the wedding, she didn't dump me to find another guy to sponsor her. She simply wanted me to move to her.

She's probably your first love experience/girlfriend. Forget marriage if you're under 30, damn dude, enjoy your life!

She's not my first love experience/girlfriend, I don't even know from where you could get that from. And I did forget about marriage by the way, the point of my post was about moving to Poland, not about getting married.

Anyway, I don't know why I gave away so much information about my personnal life, this information was irrelevant for the question I had and I guess it just distracted everyone from it. Anyway, I can't expect anyone to understand this situation I have since we hear so much about internet love turning bad and guys sponsoring girls from other country to finally get ripped off. Actually, that's all you hear about, but there is cases where love can reall grow between two people that are very far apart.

Hi Moutchy, see my other thread 'try it' on here, it was supposed to be a response to your thread but I messed up ;-(

Anyway, it's a bit more positive than most on here ;-)
