My name is Elena. I am from Rostov-on-Don,
Russia. I am 53. I was born on 15 June
in 1949 and my star sign is Gemini. I am 164 cm tall and my weight
is 68 kg. I am divorced and have two sons, they are 25 and 26. I have
a special education and work as a nurse after finishing college.
Like many other women I have dreamt of an elevated
romantic love since I was very young. And it is not without purpose.
I had an example of my grandmother’s romantic and unusual destiny,
who managed to keep her love during all her life. She was 15 when
a 24-year-old Andrew happened to come to a small Siberian village.
She was playing snowballs when he saw her. Long thick plait, laughing
brown eyes, rosy cheeks and a mischievous look. It was enough for
him to fall in love and to propose to her. Her family was very much
surprised as the girl was very young, but they gave her the right
to choose and she said she would marry that young man and nobody else.
Due to this great love a happy family was born. A year later she had
a daughter and next year she got widowed. The 17-year-old beautiful
widow was attacked by men wishing to marry her. The flame of great
love could not be put out by flattering proposals. She even did know
where the grave of her beloved man was, but she kept her love for
years. She waited for him all her life, hoping he would be able to
come. They had their favorite song, which she used to sing crying.
I learnt about this wonderful love story when I was
little. I had a happy childhood. My parents lived in love and respect
and I was a desired and loved child. The principles of my family were
no shouting, no anger, no lie and no deceit. I did well at school,
read a lot, loved watching adventure films showing elevated feelings
and all-triumphant love. It played a certain role in my life. My being
dreamy, trustful, naive and eager to meet breathtaking love bore its
fruit. I met my future husband, he had such a nice and elevated manner
of speaking about everything. I was 18 and he was older than 30. He
taught philosophy at Institute. I thought this love was given to me
for the rest of my life. But probably in our life there were more
invented than real things, after living together for 18 years and
having 2 sons I decided to get divorced.
May be I was too unrealistic wishing every day were
a holiday, I do not feel like discussing it now. Because I am still
strong, ambitious and loving life. I still believe in happiness, love,
tenderness and care. I try to do my best to be happy. I am hardworking
both at work and at home. I am fond of neatness and order in everything.
I like keeping my home comfortable and cozy. I am a wonderful cook
and I am especially good at cooking meat, vegetables, and baking.
I never feel bored. I like reading, I go to the theatre, meet my friends
among whom there are lots of interesting people. I am merry, sociable,
optimistic, with a good sense of humour. But sometimes my heart sinks
and I long for much-awaited happiness. Solitude is not natural for
a human being. I realize that I am still full of energy, my soul is
young and alive and my heart is able to love. I dream to meet a man
to experience earthy happiness together, to give him my tenderness,
care, kindness and devotion. As my soul-mate must live somewhere looking
forward to meet me. Respond me, drop some lines, I know that you exist.
I will be looking forward to receive letters written
in English.
