Hello!

My full name is Polina, but my friends call me Lina. I was born November 10th, 1978, in Ekaterinburg. My height is 162 cm, I weigh 46 kg. I am single without children, have a joyful and thoughtful character, I would rather say I have a sense of humor. I have a higher education of a musicologist, but work as a secretary for a big company. Well, it’s a rather boring job especially after the medieval culture which I studied at college, but it gives me financial possibility to realize all my hobbies, of which I have many. First of all – music, and especially music of Middle Ages and the Renaissance (although I like other styles for sure too). My second hobby is the Italian language, which had entered my life naturally and my final research paper in college was translation of an ancient Italian tract. I have been studying Italian for several years and speak it pretty fluently. I have also started learning English and can already speak it! Of course, I can read and write in English as well, so I would be pleased to get a letter from you in Italian or English.

As for other hobbies, I like aerobics and belly dancing. Yes! My movements resemble the oriental ones rather distantly, but still I am enjoying the process. Belly dancing helps me feel more feminine, flexible and attractive.. I like beautiful, exquisite, tasteful things. And not necessarily expensive ones, as very often little things are what make our life pleasant. I am talking about the aspirating for filling your soul, relationships and the environment with harmony.

I have to confess that I don’t read much. I just prefer listening to music... It’s much wiser than some of books. Nevertheless I like some works of world-known masters, like ‘Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho, ‘The Seagull named Jonathan Livingstone’ by Richard Bach, ‘Master and Margarita’ by Bulgakov. They charge me with energy when I re-read them. Besides, I like Japanese poetry and sometimes read old classic detectives. It must be a weird combination. I read what is in tune with my own feelings and pleases me and I am not thinking about being regarded a well-read person or something like that. I like things pleasant to touch and to smell, for example French perfume like “Qui” Lancome.

Why I am not looking for a partner in Russia? I think my values are more western ones than Russian, I mean western respect for individuality, possibility to be yourself, respect for a woman. It is true that people in Russia have traditional expectations from a family, where a man is the heard and the main provider, and a woman makes cozy and comfortable not only their home but their relationships too. I share such views and I want to have a family of this type, but I want to be sure
that my husband truly loves and respects me. I am looking for him world-wide. I want to find mutual love and understanding which will lead us to marriage and happiness.

Family is my main priority. How do I view my future family? First of all I want to have a kindred soul and a dear person by my side, who knows and understands me like nobody else and who I love and respect too. He has a noble heart, he’s honest, generous, persistent and can protect what he owns. And he’s kind. Kindness is very important. It would be good if he has a University degree, a job which he likes and his own hobbies. As for age, I think 10-15 years difference would be fine. Maybe this is strange, but I don’t mind my husband being older that me, I would rather want that, because I am looking for stability and reliability in relationships. I am a woman and I want to be feminine with my man. I want to put my head on his shoulder and relax while he’s stroking my hair and telling me about his work, friends, football, some other things I have no idea about, but always glad to hear as a far as he wants to share his life and feelings with me. I want to choose sweet presents for him and hear him laugh at my woman’s reason and call me a chatter box. I want us to learn not only to talk to each other about everything but also to be silent together and understand how happy we are. It’s also vital for me to know that he needs me. I want to know that I am the woman he has been looking for and he likes my smile, my gait, manners etc.

What can I give back? The same what I am asking for. I believe a wife is responsible for her husband’s happiness. A husband is always the first in relationships. I don’t mind equality, but in my understanding it’s primarily respect and attention to each other’s needs and individuality. For that it’s important to need each other and love each other.

Of course, I understand that it’s not easy to develop positive relationships. Dreams are always beautiful but to make them come true we both must be wise, tactful, tolerant, patient, and persistent. We will need to open to each other, to know each other, maybe fighting shyness and fear It can be risky, and nobody can give any guarantees, but we both have a hope and a desire so I am ready to try!
