Do It Yourself Introductions - Don't Do It!

CHOOSING THE BEST ROMANCE TOUR OPERATOR!

No matter which website you visit, inevitably you are going to see the claims - We are the best, the biggest, the greatest! How do you decide whom to trust? How do you sort through the "puffing" and get to the facts?

There are a number of factors you should consider when choosing a company to assist you on one of the most important searches of your life. Below we list 10 points or features that differentiate us from the rest.

Before deciding, always conduct some type of independent research of the company; call past tour clients, check their reputation on the web using forums or news groups, ask friends, check with the Better Business Bureau. Be confident that what they are telling you is actually true, and actually what you will receive!

VALUE - A Foreign Affair offers the most comprehensive Romance Tour in the industry today. You will not find more services at a better price anywhere - Below is a partial list of what you will receive during your tour:

  • 1-Month Platinum membership free access to 100 addresses (only $29.95 per month renewal fee for continued access!)

  • All are double rooms with single occupancy - never share a room with another client
  • All include a very nice breakfast on a daily basis

THE SOCIALS - A Foreign Affair's Socials have earned the reputation of being the best in the industry among both men and the foreign women. We spend more money on our Socials than anyone in the industry - bar none!

  • Highest ratios of women to men
  • Private, invitation-only Socials
  • Different women attending each Social during the tour
  • Due to jet lag and other considerations, such as our longer tour lengths, and to allow you the best opportunity to follow up with all contacts, all European socials are held every other day, as opposed to back-to-back-to-back
  • Fully catered with superb food, champagne, soft drinks, etc. You are never asked to purchase food or drink for women during a Social as do virtually all other companies
  • Excellent environment, normally Grand Ballrooms, or private Entertainment Complexes, conducive to meeting as many women as possible, while treating the women with the utmost respect and dignity
  • You assist in the selection of the women attending the Socials
  • You receive a master list of the women who have been personally called twice and confirmed for the Social.
  • Every woman is screened and checked in at the door
  • You are never forced to move or talk to women you are not interested in. You are encouraged to speak to as many different women as possible, as most men will eventually marry someone they never wrote to or invited to the socials.

HOSPITALITY SERVICE - A Foreign Affair is the only company to operate full time offices in all of its tour cities, normally right in your hotel, providing you with a much higher standard of service during your tour!

  • Full-service hospitality room open from 9 am to 8 pm, with special staff to cater to all of your needs
  • Customized hard copy profile books of all available women in that area
  • Staff that will call and set up as many dates as you like, just submit a list and schedule and let them fill it for you!

  • Meet women as they come in to apply for membership with A Foreign Affair
  • Opportunity to meet women who are just beginning the process of finding their special someone

PROFESSIONAL INTERPRETERS - A Foreign Affair only employs highly qualified, professional interpreters to assist you during your tour (keep in mind that many of the women can and do speak English!)

  • Free interpreter service during the Socials as well as in the hospitality room
  • Meet all the interpreters at the Interpreter Meeting hosted the first night
  • Choose one interpreter to be your private, personal interpreter, or use multiple interpreters (we always recommend using at least two interpreters for a more objective picture, but it's your choice)
  • Many of our interpreters are also certified tour guides

AFTER YOUR TOUR - We are available for on-going advice and support after your tour has finished, from both the tour-city office and our corporate US-based office.

  • Due to our fully staffed offices you can extend your stay after the tour leaves, or re-visit the city on your own, and still have the same great support that you enjoyed while the tour was there.
  • Free on-going advice regarding any issue: Fiancee Visas, return trips, relationship concerns etc., etc.

Across the Orient, elegant traditional costumes like the blue dress worn by the lady at right are de rigueur for any formal affair.  Every woman who can possibly afford it owns at least one such outfit, in the style that is characteristic of her particular culture.


If such a woman were eventually to become your bride, one of her gifts to you would be to dress this way, on special occasions, to please you and make you feel proud of her.  One of your gifts to her would be to create many such opportunities for her to enjoy with you.


Imagine the heads your lady would turn, and the tremendous pride you would take in having her walk by your side.


Such considerations, by themselves, do not constitute grounds for marriage, but they can be among the potential rewards of a well-founded multicultural partnership.

International Introduction Service Q & A

Foreign Courtship Advice and Recommendations From the Editors of A Distant Light™



Q: I'd prefer to meet a woman immediately than to first correspond with her at length.  Wouldn't that be the more effective approach? 


A: The answer depends upon what you hope to accomplish. 


For men whose objective is simply to get away for a well-deserved vacation, one of our Romance Tours could be the travel adventure of a lifetime, with abundant opportunities for dating attractive (often stunningly attractive) single women who genuinely desire to meet them.  AFA takes care of all the details, and clients can enjoy meeting new friends almost immediately. 


For those whose purpose is to identify and meet potential life partners, however, there is no substitute for adequate preparation.  Clients who lack the necessary patience to establish and develop meaningful relationships before rushing to meet the prospective foreign brides might succeed in finding suitable partners within the context of a Romance Tour, but it shouldn't require a rocket scientist to calculate that their chances of connecting with the right one among hundreds of available women will be substantially limited. 


The interests of men who are disinclined to correspond might be better served by local dating agencies than by an international introductions agency such as A Distant Light™



Q: Why write to several prospective foreign brides at one time?  Wouldn't that just diffuse my efforts, and risk offending all of them? 


A: You can more objectively evaluate the suitability of potential partners, and be less reluctant to downplay any relationships that fail to show promise, if you have a variety of available alternatives. 


Besides, experience has shown that even very well written letters of introduction to single foreign women seeking marriage can be expected to elicit favorable responses in only about 50 percent of instances.  Typical letters to women looking for husbands might draw favorable responses in only 30 to 40 percent of instances.  Although the prospective foreign brides are eager to find life partners, generally they are not desperate.  (If they were desperate, you shouldn't want them!)  Rather, they will be as careful about selecting their partners as you should be.  Some rejections are therefore to be expected, and shouldn't be taken personally because the women don't know you personally. 


Also, about half of the women who initially are receptive may decide, after further evaluation, to continue their searches. 


So, if you were to approach, say, a dozen prospective foreign brides, you might realistically expect to be able to choose, eventually, among two or perhaps three of them.  (Remember, though, that this is based on statistical data, from which your individual experience may differ.) 


Generally speaking, you'll do better to maintain a balanced perspective and improve your chances of success by beginning, on a casual basis, with as many prospective foreign brides as you can comfortably manage, and progressively narrowing the field as relationships develop.  The women shouldn't object to this reasonable approach if you are honest with them, you respect their feelings and they understand that your intention is to find the most suitable partner, which, after all, is in the best interests of everyone.

"Love is eternal.  The aspect may change, but not the essence.  There is the same difference in a person, before and after he is in love, as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning.  The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light, too – and that is its real function."

Compact Jazz: Astrud Gilberto  (Verve)
Hear Astrud Gilberto's music now, at Amazon.com!

    This popular American singer and songwriter of German and Brazilian descent is admired by generations of music lovers everywhere.  Her name is practically synonymous with the bossa nova style of her native Brazil, and her endearing voice can be one of the most seductive on the planet. 
    Yet, there is more to be said of this remarkable woman, of which you may have been unaware.  She is also a talented graphic artist.  Through sales of the reproductions and prints of her original artworks (which can make unforgettable gifts, especially when signed by the artist herself), she supports efforts to protect animals from mistreatment. 
    Please see the charming (if, at times, necessarily intense) Web pages that have been created, with love, by this profoundly beautiful human being, 

–––––––—Ms. Astrud Gilberto—–––––––


[The Editors of A Distant Light™ are privileged to express our appreciation of Ms. Gilberto and her work.  Ms. Gilberto is not a participant in our service.]
