Like I said she's not overly aggressive so I don't believe she's not the real deal. If she was trying to scam me or wasn't who she said she was she probably would be burying me with flirtatious messages. She's not - in fact I'm usually the one who initiates any communication. The way we met originally is that she commented on some of my artwork through Instagram. She has an Instagram account and posts photographs she takes in the account. We communicate through Instagram messaging so I didn't meet her on some foreign match.com website, i.e., this was a totally random relationship. We've been texting through Instagram for a while and she generally likes my Instagram posts (art and photos). Now if she's a phony or a scam she's really bad at it because she's wasted a lot of time texting me and received nothing except my communications. I think she's exactly who she says she is a nineteen year old Russian girl who lives in Vladimir City. I haven't done anything yet - that said I really don't have any other options right now.... thanks!!!
