1. Be attentive in communication
This is your biggest key to really getting to know a woman who is of interest to you. Speaking, chatting, or communicating in person with a lady that makes your heart beat faster can be intimidating. It is easy to focus on finding the next best thing to say to impress her than to actually listen to what she is saying. But you should pay close attention to the information she is sharing, and note down (mentally or physically) things she says. Build on what has already been revealed by asking related questions - this is the best way to find out who your lady of choice really is, what her goals are, and if she is the best match for you.
2. Be courteous and respectful
Russian women are very giving and once they sense interest, they will put emotional value in your communication. It is important that you show her respect in return, make an effort to be a good listener, learn to sense when she is talking about things that are really important to her, and don't take these things lightly. Keep your conversations and language respectful; be certain that your lady is open to personal communication before you bring up any private topics, and remember that Russian women appreciate being treated like ladies.
3. Keep family in your discussions
Russian women are known for their commitment to family and being family-oriented, which makes them great wives and mothers. They are used to keeping their family central in their lives; asking her about it will give your sweetheart a chance to share things closest to her heart and you - a great opportunity to discover some of the most personal things about her life and uncover a lot about who she is. Do not hesitate to share with your lady information about your family as well - it will show her that you are taking your relationship seriously; your sweetheart will appreciate your interest and ability to share special things.
4. Better ask than assume
Mass media has painted many different portraits of women from Russia - poor, neglected, desperate to leave their home, waiting for foreigners to "save" them, etc. But reality is often much more than that: many women are interested in finding a true partner to love and care for, someone who can be a great husband and father to future kids, someone to share their life with. If you have any stereotypes, you are better off to ask your lady about what things are really like than to make false assumptions, which can even offend your sweetheart.
5. Don't forget your sense of humor
Everyday life of people in Russia gives them little reason to smile, so your lady will appreciate you making her smile and laugh, especially if it comes naturally. Most Russian women are cultured and educated, so intelligent and sensible jokes will yield much better results than rough and crude humor.
6. Honesty is the best policy
Any woman will appreciate this quality in a man. Being honest with your lady will help you build trust and show her that you are reliable - something many Russian women do not find in men at their home country. It can be easy to "omit" or "change, just a little bit" some things about your life, but we suggest you put your best effort to not doing it now in order not to ruin a chance for a great relationship later. In particular such topics as children, money, or your communication with other women (if it is the case) should always be discussed honestly, your lady will appreciate the truth and this will be a definite way to find the Russian woman who likes you for who you really are.
7. Looks matter.. or do they?
It is typical for men to think that Russian women are only interested in men who look like movie stars - a common mistake made because men usually are the ones looking for models. An average Russian woman will love you for who you are more than for what you look like, and their preferences will vary when it comes to appearance (same as they do for most men). What is important in making an impression when meeting in person is to show that you take time to take care of yourself and make point to be well-groomed. This means finding clothes that fit your body best, a haircut that suits your face, not using potent smelling cologne or aftershave, etc.
8. Be confident and have a goal
Scammers have given Russian women poor reputation of being interested only in a man's money. While some are, most women are not looking for a bank account. What they are interested in most is a steady life and your ability to take care of her and your future family. They want to be certain that a man can be a shoulder to lean on and someone who can provide a comfortable life. This does not mean you have to be a millionaire, but being confident of your goals and sharing them with your lady will send her the right message.
