Russian Women & Russian Dating

The Russian Dating Scene For Foreigners 

As with every country in the world, in Russia it’s most common to meet people through your social or work network, or in public places such as bars and coffee shops. If you’re finding it hard to meet Russian singles in Russia then searching online Russian dating is probably the best options – If you can speak some Russian this will certainly help you. If you are living in one of the larger Russian cities you will find many young Russians speak English as a second language.

When you go out on a date in Russia, you’ll find that customs are generally quite old fashioned and traditional unlike the rest of Europe where the traditional customs have slowly disappeared - with men adopting a highly chivalrous manner to ‘sweep women off their feet’. If you’re going to a restaurant for your date, it’s customary to dress fairly formally, so men might wear a jacket and trousers, and women will often wear their high heels and a smart dress.

It is common in Russia on the first meeting to shake hands to form an acquaintance, and eye contact when doing this is valued. Often on the first date the man will bring his Russian date some flowers, always remembering to buy pairs in Russia when it comes to flowers as odd numbers are only used for funerals . Many Russian women will expect a man to always show up with some flowers for the first date, but don't be to worried if you do not.

It is usual in Russia for men to be  highly courteous, holding doors and helping the lady take her coat off. You will usually find that Russian men will pay the bill at the end of the evening, going dutch is not so common in Russia.

Russian women can be very demanding and certainly more forward than their Western counterparts , you should bear this in mind if you have decided to do some Russian dating.

How to meet Russian women and what to expect

Russian women are highly loyal and considerate towards their partners, and if you’re lucky enough to find the ideal partner, you’re sure to make a great team.

It is well known that Russian women stand close to their partners and are also very house proud, you will find it hard to find any women living in Russia with a dirty unkept house or apartment. For this reason you will not see many Russian house holds having a cleaner or house maid.

As well as being highly domestic, Russian women are usually very keen to be the house keeper of the house whilst it is generally accepted that the man will be the bread winner, though this tradition is changing fast and probably within a few more years will be the same as in Western Europe.
