But I had the same idea. Some people have successful relationships going this route. I know of one. But going to another country to try to connect with someone in the hopes that he or she will be a good mate sounds pretty risky to me.

I had trouble meeting women due to awkward social skills when trying to approach them. I joined a free online dating site and started talking to women that way because I felt more secure doing so. These were women who lived close by. I would talk to them online and when I managed to get a date with someone I would feel more comfortable about meeting her.

I went through 7 candidates before finding the right one. You have to learn how to handle rejection if you are going to date. But I did find the right woman and now I'm married to her. I'd suggest going the route I did to any guy who has trouble approaching women.
