To most people a relationship is a relationship. You find someone you like and then you start building on something that could lead to marriage or a committed relationship. Well that is not the case if you are an American and trying to build a relationship with a Russian Woman.
Tip 1 - Attire: Being born in Russia or a former Soviet State, adds a number of interesting characteristics to your ladies cultural activities. The one that will jump out at you right away is the way she dresses. You may notice that your lady might change two or three times a day. This is normal activity for her. She does not feel right if she is not dressed for the environment. There were many times when I would just dress casually with a shirt and jeans to meet a few friends. My wife would be dressed up in a very nice dress. Although it was just a few drinks and appetizers she felt more comfortable dressed up. For a man this is a benefit. Your lady will always look amazing for you.
Tip 2 - Finances: Unless you are a wealthy millionaire your lady will quickly drain your wallet if you do not know how to address her needs. Your lady is going to ask you for things that she will definitely need and for things that could better be left for a later time. It is communication that will get you past this culture clash. You might think that your lady does not care about the finances, but she actually does. She is showing you respect by asking you before buying. Now you need to respond with the word OK, or by asking further details on why she needs it. If you can't afford it, then explain to her why you cannot afford it. She might be a little upset, but if she truly loves you then she will understand.
Tip 3 - A lady should be treated as a lady: Comments and gifts are always appreciated, but you may never know how much they actually appreciate those kind words and gifts. Most Russian women are taught not to show too much appreciation. If you try to find out why this is the case, she will just reply that it is part of the culture. It would be the same thing to ask an American man why he loves baseball, a stadium hot dog and a beer. You can't really explain why, it is just an American pastime.
Tip 4 - Gifts and Roses: Russian women expect flowers and a gift for almost all holidays. It is culture and tradition. Not sending something can really hurt her feelings. You don't have to break the bank to please her. Just a small gift and roses are enough to let her know you are thinking about her.
Tip 5 - Arriving to the USA: It will be a hard transition for your lady. No matter how much she loves you and wants to be with you, she will fight with the depression the comes with being away from her country. A common myth is every Russian Woman wants to be an American or live in the USA. This is not the case. I can guarantee you that for your lady she would be the happiest if you could move to her country and live there.
Stay calm no matter what happens. Remember that she has been uprooted from what she has know all her life. Her family, friends and life is no longer within reach as her comfort zone. She now needs to rely on you for that support. Just remember after the first year, the rewards are well worth the effort.
