Cultural differences in dating Russian women

It can be argued that most single Russian women are filled with a strong sense of love and companionship. Without a doubt, they make wonderful mothers and very good life partners. However, you may (you will) find the process of overcoming the cultural differences quite challenging. In order for your relationship to be successful you need to be prepared for this challenge and work together with your partner to overcome all hurdles. After all, there is some scientific research proving that relationships created in difficult or dangerous situations are normally stronger and more passionate. There's your first reward!

Can your Russian woman speak any English?

English is taught in virtually all Russian high schools as a compulsory discipline. Most students have to pass English tests to continue their education in universities and colleges in Russia. This doesn't mean, however, that your lady will be proficient in English. In fact, it is best that you prepare yourself for the worst case scenario. A lot Russian women get jobs in those business sectors which require little or no English language ability. Without practice most women end up speaking poor English.

Is it a problem? Initially you may always use online translators and dictionaries to exchange communication. During your initial meetings you may also hire a translator to assist in your conversations. At a later stage, however, you would have to teach your wife to speak English. The good news is that once you relocate her to United States it will be fairly straightforward for her to pick up the language, provided that she makes friends with Americans, not Russians. This will be difficult to start with and your help is vitally important. Your family and friends should also be informed and provide as much support as they can.

Russian women - becoming part of American culture

Many Russian women in the US find the process of adjusting to American culture very difficult. They seek Russian friends and think about going back to Russia. Many women do after 1-2 years of struggle. However, those who make it in the US for at least 3 years are likely to develop strong passion for the country and will have no sense of being a foreigner.

Is it difficult to overcome home-sickness? Being away from friends and family surely it is! Relocating to a foreign country is never easy. The key to success is to have people around you who will give you their support. One of the major mistakes is to follow a strategy of being a Russian in the US. That is to watch Russian TV, to socialize with Russian immigrants and count days until the next trip back home. It is important that a Russian bride puts herself in the right frame of mind from day one. This is America! American TV, American people, American way of life!

Making an initial contact

After discussing the most important barriers that may arise as the result of cultural clash, we should go back to the challenge of the initial contact. Making first contact with a Russian woman is very straightforward, especially if you use the dating services of a reputable dating agency. You can take your time and browse thousands of profiles to chose a few that you like most. You can write letters to several women and discover if you process any common values. Eventually, however, you will need to establish a more serious relationship. Your virtual communication has to grow into a meeting in person.

To meet your Russian bride it is best to arrange a trip to Russia. Inviting a over to the US, Canada, Australia or countries of EU is not advisable. There are a lot of scammers that pretend they are willing to travel to meet you and if you make a mistake of sending them money, you will never hear from your date again. It is also very difficult to obtain a travel visa for a single Russian woman to travel to the above countries - virtually impossible.

So, go to Russia, visit Moscow and St Petersburg - two very beautiful and interesting cities. Meet several ladies while you are on your trip. Make it simple and enjoyable. Take a friend or relative with you. Do not go on marriage tours, make it natural. Find the person you like, establish initial contact, get to know her and pack your suitcases to go on a trip to Russia which you will never forget!
