Russian Women Dating BLOG

Your first meeting with your Russian woman is probably the most exciting moment of your relationship.

After a period of correspondence and you both confirm that there is a serious compatibility between each other, it’s time to suggest to meet each other.
But your first meeting needs proper preparation. Its’ not like meeting each other at a Starbucks shop. The only place I suggest to meet her is in her country. The reason is that you can get familiar with her roots and that she will feel more comfortable. But travelling for her (if she is from Russia and you from America, or UK) is almost impossible, due to visa difficulties.

Travelling to Russia or Ukraine is not a big deal for someone who lives in the Western part of the world. You need a passport, a visa, a hotel with visa support and an airline ticket, that’s it. And if you need some useful travel information for travelling within Russia, have a look here.

For information about visa, we have written a special topic about it: visit our Visa information topic.
If you look good then hotels in Moscow are not too expensive. Rates from about $70,- are not difficult to find. Visit this hotel resource which includes visa support (and airline tickets too). Continue Reading »

1. Using a tourist visa you need (to hand over the Russian Embassy in your country):
   1. A hotel booking.

   4. Copy from your health care insurance (must be valid in Russia).
   5. A recent passport photo (black-white or color) preferable not on shining photo paper.
   6. Most of the times the Russian Embassy in your country wants to see an airline ticket
   7. A filled up and signed (including the photo) visa request form.
2. Using a private visa your need:
   1. Send a copy of your passport to your inviter (the Russian woman you want to visit).
   2. Your inviter needs to request a copy from her employer statement.
   3. Your inviter needs to make a copy of her passport
   4. Your inviter applies for a private invitation at the nearest OVIR ofice (*)
      It takes about one month to receive the invitation and costs about USD 15,-
   5. Your inviter sends the original invitation to you
   6. Then you go to the Russian Embassy of your country and apply for a private visa using items 4 to 7 of the items listed under (1), including the invitation (see for an example the photo).

Maybe this title sounds obvious for you, but I wish that all men would put this title above their computer screens

It is by sending money men breed dating scammers. If all men stopped sending money, dating scammers would become extinct. This is why all decent dating agencies prohibit money requests and sending money from one member to another.

Scammers (especially the ones who have send beautiful pictures of beautiful looking women) are trying anything to get your money. Begging for that extra money to buy a visa, or they write you how expensive medicines are in Russia (which is not). Or their Internet access is cutoff because of late payments and now they need money for Internet cafe’s to contact you. Just don’t believe all this crap!

Remember one thing, a decent, serious Russian woman looking for a partner will never ask you any money for anything. Even when she is really broke, can’t feed herself or whatever, she never will ask (or even tell) you anything if she is in some financial unfavourable circumstances.
And if someone does, then stop your communication with her, she is probably a scammer.

This is the first important action when you want to get a woman interested in you. Your first letter will give your chosen woman a first (and most important) impression of what kind of man you are. This letter will make her decide if she wants to respond to you or not. So here are some of our tips.

Write about the following subjects:

• your personal information (age, single or divorced, kids, smoking yes/no, etc.)

• about your work (not too comprehensive in the first letter)

• where you live (country, city, house, apartment, surrounding, etc)

• about your hobbies

• what you like (in general) but also what you dislike

• detailed description of yourself (character, qualities)

• and above all:

• the reason why you are writing ‘her’ (and not only because she has a nice face) and also try to describe the kind of woman you are looking for. Don’t give her the impression that she is ‘number 20′ of your ‘women’s list’.

• (Let) Translate this letter in Russian. Even when her profile said that her English is good. It is highly recommended to translate your introduction letter. You will be way ahead of those who are only using English and you will be certain that she indeed have understand your comprehensive introduction letter.

Don’t forget to send (attach) some clear pictures (2 or 3) of you, it’s always nice to see a ‘face’ when reading about a person. Especially women can ‘read’ a man’s face more than you ever will understand. Include at least 2 good quality photo’s. One close up, smile at the “little bird” and dress yourself properly. The second one must be as close as possible but with the full length of your body, also of course dressed in a proper way.

After you finish your first letter, let one of your best friends or members of your family read it and ask if they recognize ‘you’ in this letter.
Don’t exaggerate, just be yourself, never write things to impress the woman in a way you can never accomplish.
