Hi xxx !! I was so glad to see your reply! Funny thing I actually
found your letter in my  spam folder. I don’t know why it ended up
there, but now I’ve added you to my contacts so it won’t happen again.
Please do the same with my email too, just in case! To be honest, I
was a little  nervous whether you would answer me or not. I’ve tried
online dating before, but it didn’t really work out some men weren’t
serious at all, and I don’t want to waste time on that anymore. That’s
why I want to be clear from the very beginning: I am here because I’m
looking for something real, a serious relationship. I hope you are
too? But my biggest disappointment was not online. In real life, I was
once very close to marriage…  until my ex betrayed me with another
woman. That was a huge shock for me it felt like my world collapsed
overnight. For a long time I thought I would never trust again. But
time heals, and now I’ve found the strength to believe in love once
more. I know we all deserve happiness, and if we don’t build it
ourselves, no one will do it for us. Anyway, enough about the past —
life is about the present, right? Let me tell you a little about
myself. My name is Zarina, I’m 35, and I live in Bishkek. I have
Ukrainian roots, I’ve never been married, and I don’t have kids. I
work as a saleswoman in a clothing store it keeps me busy, but I
enjoy being around people. In my free time, I like to read, cook I’ll
tell you more about that later, and sometimes I go to the fitness
center to stay in shape. I used to play volleyball, loved skiing, and
even practiced boxing for a while. Sports always gave me energy and
confidence, though now I don’t have as much time for it. I’ll send you
some of my photos, and I’d really love to see yours too. Let’s make
our letters more like a friendly conversation, not just a
questionnaire. BUT while answering each other's QUESTIONS, okay?? Tell
me about yourself, your life, and what makes you happy. I’ll be
waiting for your reply hopefully tomorrow! Warm regards, Zarina
