Russian Women Dating

Like a girl in Moscow but don't know how to approach her? Let me help you with Russian women dating!

Come on, don't be afraid! Russian women ARE special- but they are looking for love just like everyone else!

There're things to learn - and we'll cover them all, but they aren't that important. Act like a man, be honest and gentle - and you'll do just fine.

And that, my friend, is the biggest secret!

Asking her out

So how do you start your Russian women dating story? Simple - find a girl you like and ask her out. Come on, it's not *that* complicated!

Approach her when she isn't too busy, look her in the eyes - and do this. It's best to pretend you're just looking for a company. You know, there's that movie you're dying to see but hate to go alone?

This way neither of you will feel obliged - and she will feel more secure. Plus, you won't feel embarrassed if she says "no" - after all, you just wanted to see a movie!

Working together? No problem with that - unless you are her boss. If she's your colleague working in another department - go ahead! The only thing you should mind is if she's married - but hey, it won't be hard to find out, right?

Remember the Joker asking "why so serious"? Well, don't be! This way, you can turn everything into a joke anytime, and feel much less stressed. Try to think of a funny reason to invite her out, throw a couple of jokes - and your chances will grow exponentially!

Too shy? Think of it this way - you are doing it for pleasure, not because you have to. Try to think of the glass as half-full, not half-empty. Even if you don't succeed this time, you are building your confidence and improving Russian women dating skills, so stop focusing on your fears and try to focus on your actions instead!

Come on, relax! Life is short, don't pass by a good opportunity to have fun! Maybe the feeling is mutual, and she's just waiting for your invitation? Well, you'll never know until you try!

Another Russian women dating issue is whether you should pay for her right from the start. I hate to say this, but that really depends on the girl. In general, trying to pay for her is a good idea - you'll see right away if she's willing to go beyond simple friendship. BUT, don't be discouraged if she pays for herself!

First of all, she may not be sure she likes you - after all, she doesn't know you all that well. Second - she may like you, but care too much about her independence. In any case, don't insist. I think it's best to wait and see how it works out. Haste makes waste!

Where to, captain?

Any place you like. And by "you" I mean both of you, of course. You may have a sparkling personality, but if she's a party animal - don't take her to museum!

So, what's the first early Russian women dating choice? I'd say it's movies. May seem kinda old fashioned, but it's got lots of advantages. First, it'll surely be fun for both of you. Second, you can try and buy the tickets. Their price isn't too high - and the girl may just agree.

Third, if the movie was good - you'll have lots of things to talk about.

And if it was bad - you can talk about'em as well, so the evening will surely not be boring! And finally - if Moscow weather is good - you may take a long walk outside. Who knows - the evening may just become romantic!

How about dropping to a Moscow restaurant? A great place for Russian women dating, but not the first time, of course. However, if you've been together for a while - why not? Take her out, buy her a great dinner, drink some red wine...mmmmm-hmmmmm!

There are plenty of such places, and they ain't necessarily expensive. I'm sure you'll find something good, and may I recommend "Syrnaia Dyrka"?

Don't want to settle for common Russian women dating options? Well, find out what she really likes! Is it reading? Plenty of book exhibitions in Moscow, including international ones. May not seem like a good Russian women dating option, but know that Moscow girls love reading - and adore authors like Paulo Coelho. So come on, stop yawning and get to business!

Is it sports? How about jogging together? Not very usual place for Russian women dating, but hey - use every opportunity! Plus, whatever happens - you'll still render your body a good service!

Is she a computer freak? Take her to one of Moscow's Internet clubs, and have a good Counter Strike duel - sort of a virtual Russian women dating spot. Don't win too much, though - you'll offend her ;)

Oh, and how about Moscow theaters? They are truly wonderful! Most of the women wouldn't refuse to spend an evening there - so drop by "Lenkom" or "Sovremennik" for tickets. However, keep in mind they are quite expensive, so I wouldn't recommend starting with theaters right away. We don't want to make her feel obliged, remember?

If you just want to spend the evening without all these waiters and crowds - drop by one of Moscow's adorable botanic gardens! You'll rest, breathe fresh air - and have a chance to be together while strolling along beautiful, quiet alleys!

It doesn't realy matter what you choose as long as both of you like it. The possibilities are endless - so don't let my little list limit you in any way!

Diamonds are the girl's best friends?

First of all, let's get something straight. You don't have to buy her expensive stuff. If the woman demands that from you, either in words or by action - leave her. May sound rude, but that's one of the golden Russian women dating rules.

However, there's nothing wrong with buying her gifts, and that's not about greed - that's about mentality. Russian women expect their men to treat them well, and it's always been like that. And gifts are part of that good treatment.

You don't have to buy her things all the time, but you could, for example, bring her a nice bouquet of flowers. Watch her reaction, though. If she doesn't feel comfortable - let the flowers wait.

If, on the other hand, she accepts them - that's a very good sign, and you can safely go on. If she doesn't like whatever you're doing - stop. Don't be in a rush - Russian women dating takes patience and determination!

Paying for her is a good idea. Start from movie tickets - and slowly bring it up until she lets you pay for everything. Remember the most important thing about Russian women dating - it's not about buying her! It's about building closer relationships through care, and money is just one of the many ways of showing it!

Don't forget about other ones!

Meeting her expectations

Take the matters in your hands. See, that's the difference between Russia and, say, Europe. In general, women in your country expect you to treat them equally. That includes mutual decision-making, paying separately, and being as independent as possible - and there's nothing wrong with that! But it's not like that during Russian women dating!

Russian women are different. They mostly don't want to make decisions and earn their living - they prefer to live a quiet, sheltered life and raise kids. Surely there're different cases - but they don't change the general picture.

Russian woman wants you to be a man. She wants you to think for her, to care for her and to provide her, and in return she'll surround you with warmth and bring that special "woman's touch" into your life.

So what does it mean to you? It means you must be proactive. Don't wait till she proposes to go out - do it yourself. Don't think too much if to bring her flowers or not - do this. Don't hesitate whether to take her hand - try it. Think it's time to kiss her? Go ahead!

There's that famous British SAS slogan - "Who dares - wins!". Sure you'll make mistakes - so what? As long as you aren't being rude - it's totally OK, so stop playing safe!


Another very important Russian women dating note - be a gentleman! Always. Anywhere. Let her first through the door. Help her put on the coat. Assist her with the chair when she's sitting down. Allow her order first in the restaurant. Heck, you can even open the car's door for her!

Sounds old fashioned, but Russian women love this kind of treatment. In fact, they expect every man to behave like this - at least to some portion, and this is your chance!

See, Russian women don't expect much from you. They know rules are different from wherever you come from - and that's your chance to surprise them!

To sum up - care for her, love her - and act, act, act!

Premarital sex - pros and cons

That depends on the woman, but these days not many girls wait for marriage. Shouldn't be a problem unless the woman suspects you are dating her just for that - and then she may reject to have an intercourse.

Wouldn't you?

Sure there are Moscow women coming from Orthodox or Muslim families - for them, premarital sex may really be an issue. In that case you should ask yourself - how far are you willing to go? If you truly love that woman and the feeling is mutual - go ahead, but if you're not so sure - look for somebody else.

In general, having sex before the marriage is totally acceptable. Just be sure it suits both of you!

Take me to New - York, I'd like to see L.A....

There's a belief that Moscow girls only desire to marry a rich foreigner and go abroad. Don't fall for that common Russian women dating mistake! It's true that in the past, many Moscow women dreamed about going abroad, but things have changed. These days, many prefer to stay in Russia.

If you propose to move, she may refuse. Be ready for that. Many don't want to leave their friends and families, some are working hard and don't want to break their career, and others aren't willing to leave due to patriotic reasons.

I'd say family and friends are the main reason - she'll have to build her life anew in your country, so you if you truly wish her to move - think how you are going to help her adapt.

They aren't looking for money. Most Moscow women make enough not to look for a sponsor. Sure they'd love to marry a masculine millionaire - but that's every single woman's dream, right? Apart from that, money doesn't count that much.

You'll be surprised to know how much some of them earn!

Don't think your passport is the "universal lock pick" either. Moscow girls will look at you - not your citizenship. If you don't fit their standards - they will just look for somebody else. There are many foreigners in Moscow they can choose from - so the competition is quite high!

Come on, you're better than that! Put the papers aside and give them what they truly want! Surround them with care and love - and you'll melt even the coldest "snow queens"!

Yes, but how do I know she's true?

I guess there is no secret way to know that. Hang out with her for some time - and I think you'll get the picture. Be reasonable - if she's constantly asking to buy you things - chances are she only cares about your wallet.

No matter what she'll be saying - always be critical. Works with Russian women dating - and with everything else!
If she's telling about "heavenly" feelings and passion she's got for you - don't fall for that. First of all, girls don't usually tell such things to men. And unless you're a real heartbreaker - and most of us aren't - it's pretty damn hard to make her feel that way after only a couple of dates, right??

Sure, you can win her love - but that'll come later, when she starts to trust you. Right now, when you've only begun dating - don't expect much. But of course, it all depends on you!

If she's honest, she'll behave like every other girl would. Slightly distrustful at first, she'll like you more and more - provided you do everything "by the book".

She won't ask to pay for her - unless you invite her yourself, and she surely won't take you to a shopping mall to lighten your wallet. Genuine behavior is easy to see - and greed isn't that hard to spot as well. Guess you'll just have to take your chances with Russian women dating - and see for yourself.

Remember - "who dares-wins"!

Going Cyberspace...

You could definitely try. If you're serious about Russian women dating in Moscow - you should put everything to work, right? However, I'd say Internet is quite low-yield time investment.

Think for yourself. First of all, it's full of spam and fraud. Porn sites, malware, " Russian women dating agencies " supplying prostitutes, swindlers of every kind, etc, etc. Not very pleasant things to deal with - and enough to strip you of any hope.

Suppose you found someone you like. How do you really know she's the one she claims she is? She may as well be a fat, bearded guy fooling you with pictures of models. And even if she isn't, remember that people act totally different in the Internet and in the real life.

How do you know you'll like her when you two actually meet?

On the other hand, I personally know people who met in cyberspace - and now live in a happy marriage. That takes a lot of persistence, though - and is always sort of a "Russian roulette".

I think it's best to leave it as a "last resort". Sign up at legitimate Russian women dating sites, look through their mails from time to time, but don't waste too much time on that.

However, it all depends on your situation. If you live in Moscow long-term, it's best to make off-line friends, socialize and naturally engage in lots of Russian women dating - no rocket science here. But what if you live far-far away, and have no one in Moscow?

In that case, the Internet actually turns into your only hope. Roll up your sleeves, sign up to all the dating sites for Russian women, prowl the ICQ and do whatever you need to. It ain't gonna be easy - but at the end, your persistence may just pay off.

No pain - no gain, right?

Impressing her with your knowledge

There's a good saying that'll help with Russian women dating - "know everything about something and something about everything". Moscow girls expect their men to be educated, so refresh everything you know about Russia and life in general. You don't have to quote Pushkin - but you should at least know who he was!

Read a couple of good books? That may just help. Have a higher education - excellent! Speak a couple of foreign languages? Your shares have just gone up!

It's best to keep silent if you aren't sure what to say - always works for me! Don't try to look like a genius - you don't have to know everything. You have to know enough to keep the conversation flowing - and that's pretty much it. Don't go beyond that - you may look dull.

And girls don't like dull men ;)

Understanding each other

There may be some kind of a language barrier, but that depends on whom you're dating. Some girls have language problems, while other speak several foreign languages. These days, many Moscow girls learn English, so your chances of meeting a "Russian-only" woman constantly decrease.

Language is an important factor to consider, but man and woman can always agree if they love each other - and I've seen such couples. I guess it's up to you to decide, but I'm pretty sure that nothing can stop the true passion - so don't overestimate the linguistics.

If you speak a little Russian - fantastic! Knowing even several phrases may help you out with Russian women dating, and if your knowledge goes beyond that - you're golden! In any case, if you're into serious relationships with a Russian woman - consider learning our language. Whatever the outcome may be - it's a great investment. Women or no women, but do not disregard Russian culture.

...just think how she'll look at you when you'll be quoting Dostoevsky!

Will she marry me?

Russian women are mostly looking for marriage, but of course there are exceptions. If she's strongly into career building, or had a negative experience in the past - she may not be so keen on marriage.

However, I believe that Russian women are mostly marriage oriented due to strong mentality. It's unusual for a Russian woman to refuse creating a family, and I think your chances of meeting one are low.

Lately, there's been an increase of Moscow girls who delay the marriage, but that's pretty much it. A girl who's not looking to get married at all is considered weird by her friends and family, and she has to have pretty good reasons to persist!

In any case, clarify it as soon as possible. If she doesn't consider marriage a good option, she'll let you know. Surely, she's got every right to stay independent - but you don't want to waste your time, right? Let her deal with her career - and continue looking for other opportunities!

Meeting the parents...

I think it's a good idea to try and make her family like you. It's not an absolute must of Russian women dating, of course - if you and your girl are OK, than everything else doesn't matter. But - if her relatives don't like you...well, you know.

She's spending more time with them then with you, and if they're constantly telling her what a bad choice you are, it may seriously hamper your relationships!

In addition, don't forget that many of Moscow women live with their parents. To you it means that until she agrees to move to your place, you'll be living together with her mom and dad. If there's a tension in the air, moving on will be quite problematic!

Sometimes her parents may not like you for no apparent reason. Don't wait for conflicts to arise - rent your own place. It may be expensive, but at least you two will have some private room. Also, if you plan to live in Moscow for some time - renting a flat is a must. And if you're here just for a couple of weeks - never mind. Live with her, look closely at her relatives - they may just give some clues on who your woman really is!

Once your vacation is over, you'll have many things to think over. After all, you WILL stay in touch with her relatives even if she marries you and moves to your country, so if you can't stand your mother-in-law - think twice before you propose!

Bottom line? Always try to please her folks, unless, of course, it goes too far. If they like you, they may just help her make the right decision when you propose - and of course, good relations with them will make your life so much easier!



Well, how was that? Did I help you out?

I certainly hope so! And if not - why don't you let me know? Send whatever feedback you have, and if there's something I forgot - I'll be sure to update!

Come on, stop reading and start acting! Russian women dating isn't that complicated, and I'm sure you'll find your love!

...especially with my invaluable advice ;)
