Plans for 2027

 My online romance

Meeting Svitlana

Cash Shortage

My first task is to clear the cash shortage caused by getting involved in a scam with Pamela Olsted, and her sister. This I hope will be settled by Feruary,

The next stage will, hopefully, be to arrange a meeting with my friend, Svitlana, in Didcot. I will be happy to carry out her first wish for a sleepover, it would make my trip calmer, for little extra cost. Her other wish, to marry me, is something we need to discuss.

I have a few short break holidays I would like to take too, perhaps a day out in Exeter, or a few days in Edinburgh. I have no plans to go abroad. I may even go back to Yorkshire sometime.

Some of these ideas depend on if Svitlana and I get on well when we meet, I am sure we shall, our online chat is relaxed

My online romance

 Ukraine

Meeting Svitlana

Svitlana's dedication

Because of the conflict in Ukraine, I doubt my relationship with Svitlana will progress further than we are now.

The problem is she wishes to visit her relatives, but cannot get her visa because of the conflict. 

While I am a litle disappointed, I am happy to progress as we are, close online friends. Perhaps, we will meet one day.

What lies hidden?

Mature Dating

Meeting Svitlana

My friend, Svitlana who lives in Didcot, Oxfordshire is genuinely concerned about the aftermath of my accident, one of the first things she asks each night is how am I feeling, and do I feel anything is happening?

The person whose action caused the accident, asks how I feel, but her question is not about my health, but about my ability to get another Apple pay card for her, so she can send me some money I am owed. 

I have noticed something odd since the accident, I get the feeling I am wearing my spectacles, when I know I am not, It is as though the pressure is constant, probably from my broken nose

What are my goals?

 A fresh start

Glad all over

The True Path of Romance

My immediate concern is to rid myself of the lipoma on my neck, this is causing me constant pain.

The next step, literally, is to get my right ankle fit to carry some weight so I can walk with less pain that I did this month.

After this, I can concentrate on clearing my overdraft, the cause of which is a scam I was involved in with Pamela Olsted, and a lady "claiming" to be her sister. This will take several months, I was promised a loan refund, but I think that is part of the plot to keep me paying them, that comes to an end this week.

Once the operation on my neck is over, and I can walk easier, I shall arrange a meeting with my friend, Svitlana, in Didcot, hopefully in time for my birthday next month.

Objective 2

 My next objective

Meeting Svitlana

Svitlana's wish

My first objective was to get so many blog posts ahead of the ones about Pamela Olsted, and her sister, that they are not seen on the immediate opening of the weekly statitics. This has been achieved. The second objective will be much harder, I wish to eliminate them from the immediate monthly views.

My main objective is to be free of the financial stress they caused, so I can visit my friend, Svitlana, in Didcot.

Another goal is to be free of the stress, so i can order some shirts from Hollywood Mysteries for my birthday next month.

Lost in Translation

 Meeting Svitlana

Family Assistance

A decade of love

Occasionally Svitlana slips into her native Ukrainian, and I have to ask for a translation.

I think our relationship is going to be romantic, with plenty of fun to recall.

If I had doubts, over her love, this weekend has cleared them. Svitlana has been most upset to have missed our daily chat, so am I. Our chats keep me going through the hard times I am having.

My children would be happy if I had another lady in my life, they know no lady can replace their mother, but they know she would wish me to be happy,

TGIF

If Romance calls

Svitlana's dedication

I am hapy today is Friday, this menas I am a week closer to meeting the lady I love, Svitlana, who lives in Didcot, Oxfordshire. Also, it is the mark for a week passed since my accident.

After October I may leave the Dating App

 Meeting Svitlana

Charming Talks

Meeting in Didcot

As I hope to meet my friend,Svitlana, hopefully by my birthday in October. If I can get her to add WhatsApp to her phone, I would leave the app we are using now, Charming Talks. 

My departure will upset some of the ladies as they see me as attractive, and try to tempt me for a chat, but I only stay on the site because Svitlana is there.

We had a laugh last night, I told Svitlana "some of the ladies call me a heartbreaker for not replying," her reply was they must think you have a girlfriend by now."

Just my luck

 Meeting in Didcot

My lady friend in Oxfordshire

Svitlana

It wouldn't suprise me if the release of the stress I have been under for the most of the last year causes a mental breakdown. The only good thing about the last 10 months, is being able to chat online with my friend, Svitlana, in Didcot, Oxfordshire. Without the help of Svitlana, I am certain, I would have hit a deep depression, so deep I doubt I would have recovered.

Now things are beginning to look a little brighter 🤞. I am hoping our chats can become more than only a quick hello

Autumn is here

 The Year of Hell

A Suprise ending to 2026

Meeting Svitlana

September has always been my favourite month, the last of the Summer rays mix the slight chill of the fall, leavs turning golden, and the peace returns after the school holidays. 

I know it is a romantic idea, but I am a romantic at heart.

A year ago, I came out of a self-imposed exile after the loss of my wife, and entered a year of hell, caused by scammer Pamela Olsted. I ended the connection two months ago, but the residual effects are ongoing, as I am trying to get my loan refunded by her sister.

From the ashes of a scam, I emerged into a real relationship with my friend, Svitlana, in Didcot, Oxfordshire

Brief Encounters

 Dating a Granny

What is my allure?

Sex with Alan

I have had offers of friendship, and even sex, with several older ladies. I have no issue with dating an older lady, within reason, the lady in my life now my wife has passed away is Svitlana from Ukraine, she lives in Didcot.

Svitlana

Svitlana is four years older than I am, and we got on well from our first online chat, she and I are dedicated to moving our friendship into a relationship, once she has got back from holiday, and I have cleared my overdraft issues. At the present, I am limited to chatting for about an hour each night, and sometimes, I have to go offline for a day or two 😢😢.

Though I had many offers, until Svitlana, none meant anything to me, mainly because I couldn't see me meeting a lady who lives either in Asia, the USA, or South America. In 2009, I did fly to Canada, twice to meet a friend, but she paid for the flights, one of the reasons for my trips was she needed help sorting her house out, she died that December

I have no doubts over Svitlana

 Meeting Svitlana

In discussion with Svitlana

Svitlana's dedication

My friend Svitlana has made her situation clear to me, despite my limited cash, she is adamant that I am the man she wants in her life. Our friendship is strained as I am trying to get some money I have been owed for almost a year, this means we can chat for only an hour each night for now

How did it start?

 Meeting Svitlana

Online Chat rooms

Alan Place

A year ago a comment I put on Twitter stired up some interest in me among ladies. I said, "If I was to look for another relationship, I wouldn't consider doing it, until April."

A history teacher from the USA, who lives in Gloucester asked "Why wait so long, when the lady you may want is here now?" I explained that from October to April, I had several family related matters to handle. She made it clear, she wished me to be the man in her life. We had a short time chatting online, our link on Signal was so bad it would take a day for me to get a reply to a message. She didn't believe me when I told her, and accused me of cheating on her.

Next came another lady from the USA, she lives near me in Thornbury. Again, she made her intentions clear, she wished for me to be her lover, I never felt anything for this lady.

After that, I can only describe the next eight months as HELL, looking back. I got involved with a lady I thought at first, lived in Bristol, it was soon clear to me she did not. It tuned out she lives in Pennsylvania, is a scammer, and has served jail time for identity theft. I hope to have a refund of the loan I sent her over the eight months I had contact with her, later today. I emphasise "HOPE."

Finally, afer ending my contact with the scammer, I added my profile to a dating app, to see if ladies do find me attractive, and formed a link with my new friend, Svitlana, who is from Ukraine, but lives in Didcot, Oxfordshire.

Senior Railcard

Cash Shortage

My friend, Svitlana, is partially correct in saying th loan I have not been repaid is harming our friendship, and the growth of our relationship, another factor is the cost to me of keeping in contact on Charming Talks. It costs me £10 a night, for an hours chat. She is worth much more to me than that, but I can't keep paying out at this rate, even if I get my £3,000 back from the sister of scammer Pamela Olsted.

I don't wish to lose contact with her, but somethings are beyond my control. My money issues will probably mean I will not get the Senior Railcard I had planned to buy to pay for my trips to see Svitlana in Didcot, also I shall delete my info from the dating apps I was on. 

I will miss our chats, and it will take a long time to get over our seperation, even though we have not met, if this does happen, I have no plans to attempt another relationship.

A Suprise ending to 2026

 Meeting in Didcot

Action Stations !!!

Meeting Svitlana

Today will begin the end of my time in hell. In November, 2025, I was contacted on Twitter, and later via WhatsApp by a lady calling herself Clara Kent, she turned out to be scammer Pamela Olsted.

By various means, she convinced me she cared for me, when all she wanted was my money. I was for a short period, under the impression she lived near me in Bristol. I stayed in contact, to give her the opportunity to prove she lived here, but it was soon clear she didn't.

By July, 2026, I had put her out of my mind, and resigned myself to losing the money I sent her, despite her saying she would refund me at some time. In September, 2026, her sister said she would repay the money owed to me, today, I am hoping this will happen.

I can finally put Pamela, and her family, out of my mind, and concentrate on meeting my friend   Svitlana in Didcot, Oxfordshire. Svitlana and I made contact on SoulmateMeets, and have continued our friendship on Charming Talks, we got on well from our first chat.

On a more personal note, today I will be going into hospital to have a lump removed from my neck.

My Birthday Treat

 My treat

Depression

Meeting Svitlana

It is probably my depression tainting my thoughts, but I am getting the idea, despite her constant sexual undertones, my friend, Svitlana, in Oxfordshire has cooled about meeting me.

Though we get on well online, our chats are short as we share a chat room, and I have a cash shortage for the next month. She understands my situation, but seems reluctant to want to leave Charming Talks so we are not limited by money.

If thinngs do cool off, I hope they don't, I will take my profile off the dating scene. I would like to visit Didcot next year, if we don't meet by my birthday in October, there are places in the area of interest to me, not least Wallingford Castle

Svitlana is the only lady for me

 One-lady man

You're the one I want

Svitlana

Since we began our online chat,Svitlana, my friend in Didcot, Oxfordshire, is the only lady I have been interested in meeting. I have many offers from ladies to meet, and almost as many to have sex.

It isn't only because she is in the UK which makes her my choice, we hit it off from the start, we are ideal for each other.

I am desired

 Romance in Didcot

Meeting Svitlana

She's in love with you

I have ladies online who class as their favourite, the only lady I am interested in is my friend,Svitlana, who lives in Didcot in Oxfordshire.

From the get-go we got on well, even if she was a little enthsiastic about her sex chat, but that is nothing I worry about. I find a lady who knows what she likes, and isn't afraid to ask, arousing.

There was one lady in France I found off-putting, she was too descriptive for my liking, and I wasn't really interested in her besides that,

Come up and see me sometime

Mae West

Meeting Svitlana

Svitlana hasn't used the quote from Mae West, but her request is plain to understand. She is very keen for us to begin our relationship, after becoming online friends in July.

What direction we go, within reason, is the lady's choice. We have briefly discussed the possibility of sex, an idea we are in agreement with making.

The Poor Relative

The Cold Facts

Sister Act

Meeting Svitlana

The time and money I spent with Pamela Olsted has raised questions of my insecurity.

I am wondering if lady I love, Svitlana, considers me "the poor relative?" While she, and I, wish for a long chat, I am forced, after giving PO such a lot of money, to keep cutting our chats to save credit for tomorrow.

This could be my insecrities playing mind games, but they do have a good point. I do wonder if Svitlana is "out of my league."
