How to Find an International or Russian Wife Thousands of Miles Away

Merin — Tue, 27 May 2008 23:30:36 +0000

International or Russian dating is one of the smartest ways of finding a wife abroad. For many years this search was limited to offline methods, but in the past few years, international and Russian dating has gone online. Online dating is cheaper and faster. While there are many international and Russian mail-order bride websites, pen-pal websites and so on, it is the online dating websites that make the most sense, as they let you interact directly with international or Russian women.

We at Loversplanet.com find that searching for a wife thousands of miles away is not always easy. Which is why we are always here to help you find such a wife.

Here are a few ways in which a Western man can set out to find an international or Russian wife thousands of miles away:

Finding an International or Russian Wife through a Marriage Agency

There are various marriage agencies that specialize in finding wives for Western men who are searching for an international or Russian wife.

But the limitation with such agencies is that you have to conduct all your dealings with them in the middle, which means you spend more money and have less control over how things pan out.

Finding an International or Russian Wife through a Pen-pal Agency

There are many pen-pal agencies which let you write to an international or Russian woman, and then you can take the relationship further using the pen-pal service’s help with translation and other matters.

This has similar drawbacks as with the marriage agencies, because you are seldom directly in contact with your international or Russian woman.

Finding an International or Russian Wife through a Dating Website

The best idea to find an international or Russian wife is to go through a dating website. We at Loversplanet.com run a dating website which has a database of eligible and genuine women who would like to marry a foreign man for love.

Having considered all the options, it is clear that Loversplanet.com is the destination of choice when it comes to finding an international or Russian wife thousands of miles away.

Merin — Mon, 26 May 2008 07:13:14 +0000

Russian dating, or for that matter, international dating of any kind has its advantages as well as disadvantages. A lot of men find themselves discouraged due to the the challenges of international dating, and linger in search of an ideal woman from their own country. But there is no need for despair. Here are a few of the concerns examined, and then the very real benefits of Russian dating or international dating listed out.

Russian Dating or Dating Internationally Means Traveling Long Distances

Many Western men think that it is too much to have to travel long distances to meet your future bride. But the expense and trouble will be worth your while when you meet an ideal woman. The best way of looking at it is as a wise investment in a lifetime of happiness.

Communication Problems with International or Russian Women

Many Western men do not seek dates outside their country because they are put off by the language barrier. What they need to realize is that a lot of international and Russian women now speak English. It is also easy and powerfully motivating to learn a new language to be able to speak with a partner.

Visa and Citizenship Problems with International or Russian Women

While most Western men are not too happy with the paperwork involved in marrying a Russian woman, the fact is that there are a lot of agencies which specialize in helping with just such cases. Visa and citizenship issues are easily resolved if love ties you to an international or Russian woman.

The major reasons why Western men should go for International or Russian dating are:

International or Russian Women are Beautiful and Accommodating

A difference in culture with the West keeps Russian women more beautiful and better groomed. A natural inclination towards making a family make them extremely nurturing wives.

International or Russian Women Offer More Choice

Lovers Planet runs a separate website in Russian, used exclusively by female members, including a forum, which women from all over Russia and Ukraine access for information exchange and discussion.

These are great conversation starters, and you can send them as a free member to a Russian girl you like in order to see if the service works for you.

Your First Phone Call to Russia – Romancing a Russian Bride

Merin — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 14:39:58 +0000

Online dating with Russian women is the best way to get in touch with genuine women who want to find loving husbands outside the Russian borders. But with all its advantages like seeing profiles, emails and live chat on Loversplanet.com, it is the first call you make to the woman of your interest that makes all the difference. Here are a few pointers on how to use Russian in that first phone call and what to talk about to a Russian woman to make that most important first impression.

Greetings Exchanged on Your First Phone Call to a Russian Woman

On the first exchange, it is best to be slightly formal even though you have been interacting online for quite some time. Unlike United States, formal tone in Russia is very important. Let the Russian woman take the lead when it comes to talking informally. However, you should lead the first conversation otherwise you will find yourself having to deal with uncomfortable silences.

In the West, it is quite common to say “How are you?” as a greeting to a complete stranger. The Russian version, “ Kak pazhiVAYESH?” is only asked to people with whom you are quite familiar, so it is best avoided on a first phone call to a Russian woman. Again, try to be formal – this important because the woman expects you to be serious about your relationship and formality re-enforces your commitment, at least initially.

Phrases and Words on Your First Phone Call to a Russian Woman

Here’s what in our opinion you could talk about during your first phone call. You can try to speak Russian but don’t expect to be perfectly understood. Relax. Be calm – first conversation is always the hardest but remember – you are in the same boat with the lady, you are in the same team! It’s best to try to speak English and copy with a Russian phrases. Pause. Ask the lady if she understands you and make the conversation a great fun by trying to learn from each other and make sure you understand each other. Even if takes 10 minutes to get past the first sentence – it’s not about quantity, it’s about making your communication comfortable for both of you. Don’t expect your first phone call to be informative. You major goal is to remove any tension and feel that you are comfortable talking to each other despite cultural and language barriers.

To make your conversation comfortable you have to speak slowly. If a lady knows very little English you should use one sentence at a time. Use Skype to make cheap phone calls and not be worried about costs. With Skype it costs approx. $4.00 to talk for an hour! Do not try to provide to much information. Instead, pause after every sentence to remove any pressure from your conversation, ask if the lady understands you. If she doesn’t, try to work it out together. Even if you can’t work something out, make fun out of it and move on.

The most important words of course are: “Da” which is “Yes”, and “Nyet” which means “No”.

The next in importance are “SpaSEEBA”, which is “Thankyou” and “ EezveeNEEte” which mans “Sorry”.

A few phrases which will help you interact better with a Russian woman or the first time (capital letter = stress):

ZdrAstvooyte = How do you do (formal)
DObroye OOtro = Good morning
DObreey VEcher = Good evening
DObriy Den’ = Good afternoon
Eto John = This is John
Ya zvonyU iz AmEriki / Anglii / GermAnii = I am calling from America / England / Germany
Ya plOho govoryU po RUsski = I speak poor Russian
Ya Ochen’ vol-nOO-yus’ = I am very excited

Ya vas ne poneemAyu, prosteeteh = I don’t understand you, forgive me (polite)
No Eto normAl’no = but this is normal
Mne nrAvitsya govorIt s vAmee = I like talking with you

Speak slowly.

Do not get nervous. Create a relaxing environment around you, avoid distractions like television.

Fix a time which is mutually convenient. Use skype to keep your costs low.

Try and speak at least a few words of Russian. Pause after each sentence. Ask if the lady understands you.
Make your conversation comfortable – play the learning game: “How do you say … in Russian”

A Russian woman would really appreciate the effort you put into your first phone call by learning Russian phrases and words. If there is something either of you don’t understand – it’s normal. You can say “neh vazhno” which means it’s not important. “Vazno chto est’ vee eeh ya” – it’s important there are you and I.

Your First Phone Call to Russia – Romancing a Russian Bride

Saying Hello in Russian – Romancing a Russian Bride

Merin — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 23:02:48 +0000

Marrying a Russian woman is very easy if the communication between you and your Russian bride is excellent. It helps if your bride speaks English, but things become much smoother with her and her family if you can speak a few words of basic Russian. Love can bloom between the first Hello and Goodbye, and here’s some help for you to say these and other such basic words in Russian.

Being Formal or Informal with Your Russian Bride

Unlike in English, Russian has different words for the same greetings.

One is formal, for use between those meeting for the first time, or when meeting people more elder or respectable.

The other is informal, for use between friends, or people who already know each other.

Saying Hello and Goodbye to Your Russian Bride

The formal Hello in Russian is ZDRAST-uy-te, whereas the informal one is ZDRAST-uy. To simply say Hi, you say pri-VYET.

The formal Goodbye in Russian is da svi-DA-ni-ya, the informal Goodbye or Bye is pa-KA.

The capital letters given in the phonetic Russian here are for emphasis, these are spoken in a louder tone. For example, in da svi-DA-ni-ya, the emphasis is only on the “DA”, and the rest is spoken without emphasis.

Saying Good Morning and Good Night to Your Russian Bride

Once you have memorized Hello and Goodbye in Russian, it is time to move on to other phrases of greeting, like Good Morning, or DO -bra-ye OO-tra.

To wish a Russian woman Good Evening, say DO-briy VYE-chir!

To bid Good night, say DO-broy NO-chi!

To wish your Russian bride a Good day, say DO-briy DYEN’!

It gets easier with practice, so try and repeat these phrases at every opportunity of interacting with a Russian woman.

Saying “Nice to Meet You” and “See You Soon” to Your Russian Bride

Being able to use polite phrases like “Nice to meet you” or rat paz-na-KO-mit’-sa would be great to make a good first impression on your Russian bride.

The alternative is “Very pleased to meet you” or O-chin’ pri-YAT-na.

“See you soon” in Russian is da SKO-ra-va.

It is important that you make every effort to learn your Russian bride’s language, because it is only in this way that you can forge a strong relationship.

When Easter is Celebrated by Russian Women

Merin — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 04:10:15 +0000

Russian women love their customs and traditions, especially when it comes to their religion and holidays. Easter is one of the major holidays in Russia, which young Russian women celebrate with their family and friends.

They would love you more if you understood their culture and respected their traditions. Here are a few pointers which would help you do just that.

Dates of Easter Celebrated by Russian Women

Easter in Russia is not celebrated at the same time as in the West, because the Russian Orthodox Church follows the Julian calendar, which usually runs two weeks behind the Gregorian calendar followed by Western Christian religion.

For Russian women, the Easter in 2008 comes on April the 27th, much later than the Easter celebrated in the Western world.

Easter Gifts and Greetings for Russian Women

Gift-giving is one of the favorite traditions of Russia, and this is even more so during Easter. Simple gifts like books, cakes and Easter eggs will be ideal for Russian women and their families.

The traditional greeting is “Hris-tos Vosk-res!” or “Christ has risen!”, and the customary reply, is “Vo isti-nu Vosk-res!” or “Truly He has risen!”. This is accompanied by three kisses alternating on the cheeks.

Russian Women and Easter Cooking

Easter is a communal festival, and cooking and feasting forms a large part of the general celebration. The traditional dishes are Pas-ha, a special triangular cheesecake with nuts, fruits and flavorings, and Kulich, the cylindrical Easter bread containing candied fruit, almonds and raisins.

Russian women prepare and cook for days in preparation of the festival, and the traditional Easter family breakfast is usually overflowing with delicacies.

Easter Customs Followed by Russian Women

Russian women spend the night before Easter at the Church, where they take the food to be blessed. They light a candle during the service which is brought home to mark the door with a holy cross. The home itself is thoroughly aired and cleaned.

At the breakfast table, the Easter egg is broken and shared between the members of the family. This is an Easter egg dyed red by boiling it with onion peels, to signify the sacrifice and blood of Christ. Other artificial colors may also be used.

Russian women paint the red-dyed Easter eggs with various designs, though nowadays beautifully painted Easter eggs are usually bought from shops.

Russian women are modern yet traditional. They enjoy celebrating customary Easter, and yet like spending time at nightclubs and parties. To find such a complete, well-balanced, and gorgeous Russian woman, sign up at Loversplanet.com before this Russian Easter.

Russian Women Married in the United States

Merin — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:52:33 +0000

Thousands of Russian women have been living in the United States for the last decade or so, married to American men. Statistically, about 10,000 Russian women seeking American men come to the United States each year striving to start a new life and become part of a new family, and here is why.

Why are Russian Women Seeking American Men?

America with an economy in bad shape is still a much better place to live in than Russia on the upswing. Educated Russian women are looking for a good husband and a better life in the land of opportunities.

American men treat women as their equals and are generally respectful. This is a refreshing change for Russian women, many of whom go through verbal, emotional, and even physical abuse at the hands of Russian men.

Why are American Men Attracted to Russian Women?

American men, on the other hand, like Russian women for their essential femininity. Even the most career-minded Russian woman takes more care of her appearance than the average American woman.

Some American men turn to women from Russia for marriage because they are looking to start their family with a good-looking wife, who retains a commitment to home and hearth despite working outside.

In some cases, the chances of a more mature but financially well-established American man’s chances of finding a relatively young and attractive wife may be slim in America. Russian women look beyond appearances and are willing to settle for affection and a secure future with an older man in the United State.

How are Russian Women Doing in the United States?

Russian women initially find it difficult to adjust to the United States, because of the difference in language and culture. But with the help of patient husbands, most of them are able to go for satisfying work careers and family lives.

Since Russian women are often blond, slim and attractive, it is easier for them to blend into an American neighborhood.

The Russian women in the United States are usually well-educated, and have a passable, if not native grasp of the English language, which only improves with time.

The divorce rate between Russian women and American men is lower than the national average in the United States. If you are looking to get married to a Russian woman, sign up on Loversplanet.com and take the first step towards a fulfilling married life today.

Tips for Dating Single Russian and Ukraine Ladies

Merin — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 14:24:09 +0000

Dating single Russian and Ukraine ladies can be a very different experience from dating a woman from the West, not only because of the physical distance, but also because of the cultural differences.

Here are a few tips to help tide you through the intricacies of dating ladies from Russia and Ukraine.

How to Succeed in Meeting Suitable Single Russian and Ukraine Ladies

While there are many websites that act as marriage agencies and talk about mail order brides, a dating website like Loversplanet.com is your best bet if you want to meet real women online with whom you can interact through chat and email.

Cultural differences to remember when Dating a Single Russian or Ukraine Woman

Russian and Ukraine ladies would expect to be wined and dined. They are not particular about going to a very expensive restaurant, but they will assume that you would pick up the entire tab at least the first few times.

Always be courteous to women from Russia and Ukraine, they see opening doors for them or offering to take their coat to be the mark of a gentleman.

Make an effort to learn their language and understand the culture, this would endear you to them immediately. Be direct in your use of English, because they may not understand turns of phrase like “No big deal” or “Go figure.”

Russians have a dry, subtle sense of humor, so do not expect Russian or Ukraine ladies to laugh at rough and tumble jokes.

Display of physical affection in public is limited in Russia, so let the lady set the rules on this.

Offer thoughtful gifts from time to time while dating Russian and Ukraine ladies, because for them gifts are cultural symbols of affection. Flowers, especially long-stemmed roses or lilies, would be welcome too.

Perfect Gifts for Russian Ladies

Merin — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 09:47:36 +0000

It takes a lot to win over a Russian lady’s heart. While women from other countries might fall for expensive presents, Russian ladies would see right through to the spirit behind the gift.

Here are a few pointers on buying appropriate gifts for Russian women.

Why Choose a Gift for Your Russian Lady?

Russian etiquette is warm and giving. Russian households will embrace strangers into their bosom, shower them with attention, good food, and very often, gifts. It is a society where they even have a word for gifts given by guests: “gostinets”, where the word “gost” means “visitor.”

On special occasions, a Russian girl sees her mother receive flowers and gifts from her husband, friends and relatives. Russian women therefore see gifts as a natural symbol of affection and goodwill. Carrying a gift for a Russian lady shows her that you are a thoughtful, considerate man.

On what Occasions Do Russian Ladies Expect Gifts?

Gifts are usually given when you meet a Russian lady for the first time, and also on special days like the Valentine’s day on 14 February, International Women’s Day on 8 March, Christmas and New year.

If you accompany a Russian lady to a party, you are expected to carry flowers for the hostess, and perhaps a bottle of champagne. If you meet her immediate family, you would be appreciated if you carry a gift for each family member.

How to Choose the Perfect Gifts for Russian Ladies

The perfect gift for a Russian lady is one which expresses the most sentiment.

As such, flowers top the list. Long stemmed roses or lilies are favored. They should be given in odd numbers, and in any color other than yellow, because even number of flowers are given at funerals, and yellow flowers signify unfaithfulness.

While a gift like a tea-set would probably charm Russian ladies because most Russians are traditional tea-drinkers, what would really win her over is gold jewelry with diamonds. Gold and diamonds are both highly prized in Russia. The trick here is not to go over the top, simpler is better because you don’t want to insult the lady by trying to buy her affections.

Gifts by mail are usually not very reliable in Russia, so the best thing is to give the present in person, as an expression of your love. At Loversplanet.com, you are sure to find the Russian lady who is right for you. Charm her with a wonderful gift, and win her affections for a lifetime. Here’s more information about Choosing gifts for your Russian woman.

The Truth About ‘Mail Order Brides’

Ed — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 22:51:28 +0000

The term ‘mail order brides‘ is loaded with a certain degree of stereotype. One gets the image of impoverished Russian women angling for a green card, willing to exploit men in order to attain money or citizenship in another country.

While there have been instances of both Russian women and Western men having bad intentions, most of these mail order brides are genuinely looking for love and marriage with stable men from other countries. Whether they are dissatisfied with the men in Russia or Ukraine, or they have a dream of finding a man from America or Western Europe that shares their values, these Ukraine and Russian women are real, and it’s best to find a Russian mail order brides site that provides several options in which you can find out the truth for yourself.

The Truth About ‘Mail Order Brides’

Why Date Russian Women?

Ed — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:06:55 +0000

Men from all over Europe and America have taken a keen interest in Russian women. But why is that? Why search for women from Eastern Europe when there are plenty of single women from your home country?

The fact of the matter is that Russian women are often dissatisfied with the experiences they had with Russian men, while men from places like the United States, Canada, and Western Europe are often dissatisfied with the experiences they’ve had with women from their own countries.

This is where online Russian dating comes in. Years ago, it was far more difficult for Western men and Russian women who share a common set of values to find a way to come together and get to know one another without a lot of middlemen, translated letters, and dubious schemes.

Many Russian women find other Russian men to be unreliable and casual when it comes to raising a family. Also, the demographics state that in many parts of Russia and the Ukraine, women outnumber men by as much as 10% or more. So if you combine the dissatisfaction with the lack of Russian men, you find that there’s little question why Russian girls want to date men from other countries.

The dedication to family many Russian and Ukraine women have contrasts ideally with the ambitious, hard-working attitude of many Western men. While Russian brides are often deeply intelligent and thoughtful, dedication to family comes before a dedication to career. It’s not that Russian women don’t want to have a career that they love, it’s just that family always comes first.

One little known fact about Russian marriage is the extremely low divorce rate. This flies in the face of the idea that Russian women are merely out to get a green card. If that was the case, how come the divorce rate is around 6%?

Advice on Finding Ukraine “Mail Order Brides”

Ed — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:38:26 +0000

First of all, “mail order brides” is a very negative term that doesn’t accurately describe the fact that most Ukraine and Russian women are simply looking to leave their country and find love overseas. While there have been instances that reinforce negative stereotypes about Russian dating, most Russian and Ukraine women are geniunely looking to find love and raise a family. Most of these so-called “Ukraine mail order brides” are intelligent and ambitious, wanting more than they can find in their homeland.

Our site, LoverPlanet, carefully screens the women that sign up for our site because we understand your concerns.

If you look at the demographics and statistics from Russia and Ukraine, you can understand why so many women from Ukraine are looking for American men. There are 10% more women than men in the Ukraine, so the simple math leaves it obvious that there aren’t a lot of great men in the Ukraine to marry. Also, these women are often stunningly beautiful, intelligent, and family minded and want to move to a more prosperous, stable country where it may be easier to find love and raise a family.

Despite many of the changes that have occurred in their country, many “Ukraine mail order brides” remain disillusioned about the prospects of the future. With frequent government unrest, questions about Putin and Russia’s role, and memories still present from Communism and the Soviet Union, the security and stability offered by men from places like America, Britain, and Canada are very appealing to these beautiful and sharp-minded women.

Have a look at our Ukriane and Russian women search engine to have a look at some of the profiles of women from all the great cities of Russia and Ukraine, places like Moscow, Kiev, St. Petersburg, and Kharkov, plus all the cities in between. Sign up now and get free access to these profiles, your own free profile, and free introductory messages.

Always remember, these Russia and Ukraine girls are not simply “mail order brides.” They are real women who are looking for love, and taking a chance on you.

What Makes for the Best Russian Brides Website?

Ed — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:06:41 +0000

It seems like there are a million Russian dating sites out there. How can you filter them out and determine which one is best Russian brides website for you? It’s not easy, especially with a lot of conflicting information out there and valid concerns about fraud.

The first thing to look out for is a site that is dedicated to giving you the safest experience possible. While it’s difficult to ensure 100% safety, some sites appear more dedicated to tossing out a high volume of pretty pictures while making little attempt to confirm the legitimacy of the Russian women on the site.

Many sites go through other agencies to bring women to their site, but it’s best to communicate one-on-one with women who sign up on their own. Going through a middleman often results in surprise fees and virtual shakedowns.

Of course, the goal is here is meeing beautiful, sexy Russian and Ukraine women, so you want a site that has thousands of such women online, from young to old, from all over Russia, Ukraine, as well as other countries like Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Having a site that also has Russian women who are living in Western countries is helpful as well. Our site, LoversPlanet.com, is starting up a new service where we connect you to Russian brides already living in the United States.

It’s important that the site at first allow you to sign up for free and post your profile so you can find Russian girls, exchange introductory messages with them, and browse every woman on the site. Then, after you want to take the next step, it’s important that the site charge a flat rate that won’t up or down based on certain billing practices unknown to you.

Another thing to look for in the best Russian brides website is a site with women who speak a little bit of English. Going through a translator makes it difficult to get to know somebody who you may want to spend the rest of your life with. It’s good to have women who have at least a rudimentary knowledge of the English language.

We believe that LoversPlanet meets all these criteria, and we hope you’ll sign up free and meet your Russian bride.

How To Avoid Russian “Mail Order Bride” Scams

Ed — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 21:53:38 +0000

One of the biggest concerns men have about Russian dating is the possibility of a scam. There is no doubt that there are certain forces in Russia that try to prey on men who are interested in Russian women. We at LoversPlanet.com know this and we have plentiful advice on how to avoid a Russian mail order bride scam. Let us address one of the primary ways in which scammers try to rip people off: requesting money for travel visas and tickets through bogus travel agencies.

Travel Visas and Tickets

Often, the scammer will report that they need money in order to obtain a visa from someone such as a “friend at the embassy.” More often than not, this is bogus and should be avoided. You should only attempt to obtain visas legitimately (the cost is usually $50-$100), and most decent and reputable travel agents will include the cost of the visa in your travel expenses. Please visit the US Department of State website for more information.

Bogus Travel Agencies

This is one of the most common ways of scamming money out of men looking for Russian women. Often, these travel agencies don’t even exist. Here are some tips on making sure the travel agency you’re dealing with is legitimate:

The travel agency doesn’t accept credit cards. This is a big red flag, as it’s very unlikely any decent travel agency doesn’t take credit cards at this point in time. Since it’s more difficult to stay under the radar with credit card scams, scammers often try to get you to pay in different ways, such as through Western Union or bank wires. These are difficult to track, so avoid them.
Don’t deal with banks in Latvia as they have an internationally poor reputation. Besides, you’re probably not traveling to Latvia anyway.
It’s best to make sure the travel agency has a website. If they don’t, it’s a big sign of potential fraud. Also, make sure their email address matches up to the name of the agency. However, even if they do have a website, it could potentially be a scam. Make sure the agency is verifiably licensed. Agencies in Russia and other countries must be licensed, so you should be able to find out.
If the Russian bride you’re speaking with pressures you about being too cautious or tries to convince you that the agency she’s telling you about is the most reputable one, be wary. A sincere woman is unlikely to get worked up over this and will appreciate and respect your precaution.

Also, check out this website which we believe has an excellent and extensive anti-scam guide. If you feel uncomfortable about anything you’re encountering, make sure to contact customer care and let us know.

Ed — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 23:19:19 +0000

Odessa, Ukraine is the fourth largest city in the country, with over a million residents. The Black Sea port is the biggest shipping center in Ukraine. It was once the biggest port in the USSR, but is now a free port and free economic zone.

Besides the many beautiful Ukraine women in the city, there are other attractions, such as the labyrinth of catacombs beneath the streets. Extreme tourists often go on unsanctioned tours of the tunnels, which are dangerous since they are fragile and not fully mapped. The city is also the hometown of Yakov Smirnoff (remember him?). The architecture and culture of Odessa are also quite spectacular.

If you’re looking to meet Odessa Ukraine women, have a look at our women of Odessa page. The city has seen its share of tough times, so many women in Odessa are looking to meet men for marriage elsewhere.

How To Find the Best Russia and Ukraine Dating Service

Ed — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 22:54:01 +0000

Finding the right Russia and Ukraine dating service may appear to be difficult with the vast array of choices out there. How do you know what to look for, and why do we believe LoversPlanet is the right place for you to find the right Russia or Ukraine woman?

First of all, you need to find a reputable dating service that won’t try to swindle you. Having a phone number and address is a good start, but isn’t enough. Many sites also post phony testimonial pictures that they buy elsewhere. Our testimonials are legitimate. In fact, if you’re willing, we will ask our successful members to relate their experiences to you directly.

Another important difference between LoversPlanet and a lot of other Ukraine and Russian dating agencies is that we don’t act as a middleman translating you and your Russian bride’s messages. All communication is direct. These “traditional” Russian dating agencies often leave you ill-prepared for a lifelong relationship. LoversPlanet women all have at least a basic understanding of English, so you are able to work together to communicate and get to know one another without experiencing any unpleasant surprises down the line.

LoversPlanet doesn’t work with local agencies in the Ukraine and Russia, so there is less bureaucracy between you and Ukraine and Russian women. Some of these smaller agencies are not particularly reputable and there often lengthy delays between communications. LoversPlanet markets directly to Russia and Ukraine women so your experience is direct with women from cities like Kiev, Moscow, and St. Petersburg.

It’s important you feel secure that the person you’re speaking with is who they say they are. That’s why we let you see who’s online now and have an online chat service so you can communicate through our site. We encourage you to speak on the phone as well, and with Internet phone services like Skype out there, it’s far easier and less expensive to make overseas phone calls than it used to be.

Of cousre, there’s much more that goes into finding the best Russia or Ukraine dating service, and we encourage you to sign up and post your profile for free and take a look at what we have to offer.
