I was wondering if anyone else has had people contact them and in the first message say they want to relocate to be near you. Yup! At least once a week. quote:
Personally, I get messages from Norway, Egypt, the Ukraine, Spain, the UK and from all over the USA. They all think I look fabulous and have something about me they adore. My response is always "Once you have moved, gotten a place of your own and are working, please feel free to contact me again." That is exactly what I respond too. The proof is in the pudding, darling boy. Shoshin, I'm assuming that like me, you never hear from those eager relocators after that note right? quote:
It makes me wonder if they are expecting me to sponsor them (the Canadian government would look at my situation and turn me down flat), support them (I am having problems supporting myself) or to take responsibility for them. I think a lot are looking for opportunity here in Canada, yes. I know a few north Africans who were so very obvious when they said (in French) "ah to add to your perfection, you live in beautiful Montréal". I don't know about everyone else, but the sensation of being purely used isn't a turn on. quote:
I understand that people can meet online and talk for months or even years before deciding that one of them should relocate, that makes sense to me. What doesn't make sense is the rush to relocate within the first 5 or less messages. Ummm... ok, I'm going to be nice here. I think these disillusioned, unstable and opportunistic characters need to really get a grip. - LA
