A man has taken his ex-girlfriend to court to recover $600  (Dh2,200) he spent on wooing her including a romantic break to Crimea, she told Russian media on Thursday.

The woman, Nina Zgurskaya, told Business FM radio station their relationship had initially gone well with dates and gifts.

But she broke up with him while they were on holiday in Crimea because he failed to pop the question as she had hoped.

"It was discussed as a romantic trip, that he would propose to me -- which didn't happen," she told Siberian channel CTC-Prima. "I got mad and left."

When she got back to their home city of Krasnoyarsk, she found an even more unwelcome surprise: A court summons and a demand to return more than 40,000 rubles ($595).

She said the man, who was not named but was described as a lawyer, had argued that they were not in a romantic relationship and therefore she should pay her share.

She said she had provided photographs and witness statements to the contrary.

So, did he do the right thing ?

I recall just cruising around the Ramada car park in Rizks' Tuk Tuk , when his eyes fell upon the lively Chin Tu Fat ... It was love at first sight he says ...

Love is a natural phenomenon. It exists in all countries, all races, all cultures of the world whether it be the west, the east, the north, the south and e-v-e-n the Middle East. Yes, going to bed during a love affair without proper marriage can be considered as HARAAM but before that for a boy-liking-girl or a girl-liking-boy, it is just natural.

Brit: I will do my best to help you out of your painful situation. I have some "wastas" and this could be good time to use them to get you your visa. Keep on smiling, pal!

Tell me about it.. I "lost" my Cuban Shotputter and have not been able to get a visa to Havana ... How I pine for her :O(

Brit: I disagree with you. It now appears to me you have not gone through this phase of having wooed someone, and thus lack the experience. In the business of love, the loss factor cannot be ruled out. It is not always a win-win situation!

acchabaccha: I think the guy is in the wrong ..Love cannot be monterised..

Even Rizks refuses to count the money he lavishes on Chin Tu Fat ..
