Okay you've found your special lady on this website and you've been chatting on the site for weeks maybe months and maybe you have even fallen in love with each other, now what?
To those familiar with the intricacies of many American online dating services, the methodology of ChinaLoveMatch can seem incredibly crude. In contrast to the lengthy questionnaires and personality profiles of such sites as eharmony and match.com, CLM requires you to submit only the most basic personal information along with a few statements about yourself and your ideal mate. How, you might ask, can such a slender set of facts lead to a lifelong match?
Language - the basic principle that when we speak we are understood, a principle we take for granted until we are forced to understand someone else`s viewpoint or they are forced to understand ours. An example of this would be when my China girlfriend and I were having a chat conversation on the ChinaLoveMatch.net site and we were discussing our attraction to each other. I had typed that I was drawn to her like a moth to a flame and I thought that she would understand my meaning. Without even a second thought I hit the enter button and two seconds later my message was received.
I’d barely stepped into the shower in my unheated 40-degree apartment (the central heating was turned off several weeks ago because the government had ordained it to be officially “spring” i.e. “warm weather”) and was anticipating the warm spray when … dribble. Drip. Blip. Nada.
Ok, so it was around February 2009, I had been single for about 2 years since my last girlfriend. Happily never married to any of the crazy American women I had known over the years. Another Valentine's Day had come and gone, I think I started to go through a mid-life crisis or something. I realized my life didn't have much meaning. I spent almost every Christmas and Valentine's Day my whole life alone.
Thanks for the great offer from Mr. John Abbot of CLM that I got this wonderful opportunity to write the blog for CLM from a Chinese woman’s point of view. I am sure many members here on CLM are same like me, trying to find a true and serious relationship that will finally lead to marriage. And we all know that internet provides the convenience and short-cut for online dating, which save us from the embarrassment of the blind date or matchmaking when 2 people have to sit face to face (especially for a Chinese-Chinese matchmaking, when you are surrounded by a group of family members or friends, which we will have another topic to introduce the matchmaking in China) and try to rack their brains to find the suitable topics.
This is a summary of a full length article that I've posted in CLM eMagazine under the topic of "Online Dating". We can't yet add links in these blogs but will be able to shortly. Meanwhile I'd suggest that you go to the eMagazine and read the letter that the Scammer, a Nigerian pretending to be American, sent to at least one Chinese woman member. I say one member because only one forwarded the letter but more than one complained about the Scammer, whose username is "john123" and who now resides in Scammer Prison.
My “Obsession” with the concept of Internet dating first began many years ago in the 1990’s with the A Foreign Affair website featuring photos of sexy and voluptuous Russian women eager to meet foreign men for love and marriage. This was the early days of online dating and matchmaking. Communication, translation and numbers of such websites were limited. I spent countless hours perusing the photos and profiles on AFA dreaming of finding the perfect girl who only wanted a good husband to love and a decent place to live. I even considered taking one of their “Romance Tours” to Russia. I never acted on these dreams and desires because more and more stories were being published about the Scams perpetrated by many of these women and/or their boyfriends or husbands. Warnings were published many of these girls had husbands or boyfriends in the USA and were simply using the man as a vehicle to get reunited with their true love. Other stories and official government reports abounded about the problems then with these Russian/American cross-cultural relationships. My bubble had burst.
My name is Peter. Let me introduce myself and my blog by riffing off of an old "Hair Club" commercial: not only am I a blogger for CLM, I'm a client as well. That is, like you, I am using this website in the hopes of finding a meaningful relationship.

60 Yr Old Teachers Banned in China
Barry1 has reported, based on reliable sources and backed by a recent Google search, that China is no longer allowing foreign English teachers to teach English in China if they are 60 years or older. This is bad news for many members of CLM who are already teaching English in China now, or are planning to in the near future, but who are 60 years old or nearing that mark. Get more details on Barry's forum thread linked below.
