The very first letter
So, you've created the online dating profile. It's utter important to mention there your real height, weight, marital status, your age, education and occupation; consoder adding some photos to your profile. In your first letter to the Russian bride you can write plainly about everything you think worth mentioning in the first letter to a stranger – this can be your life position, some aims and hopes, your interests, a description of person that your are looking for. Remember one thing – it not usual thing in Russia to call a woman 'dear', 'love', 'sweet' in the first letter. She can think you are insincere or too emotional.You should avoid official style, just be yourself.
What things to write about
Do not be afraid of expressing your feelings and thoughts: the Russian woman is naturally very emotional and sensitive. Ask questions and answer hers in return. Your questions might be like following: What kind of a man would you like to see near you? How do you imagine your life after wedding? What is more important for you: family or business career? Ask how she spent last week and tell her what you did all this time. Write about everything you find interesting. Ask her advice on this or that matter or difficult situation in your life. Share your plans for the future with her.
It is only logical to wonder about how long the acquaintance by correspondence should last. In this matter you should retain the sense of proportion. On the one hand, long correspondence makes an opportunity to know each other better. On the other hand, Russian women don't like inert men and will find long correspondence a great annoyance. Therefore you have to pick the crucial moment of transition to personal meeting intuitively. Then you should decide where your first date will take place - in her country, in your country or in any other country.
Russian bride and the way she loves
Due to the rough reality of the Russian life (the wars and totalitarian regime) the awareness of the of the submissive role of women and to the fact the number of women in the country has always been considerably larger than that of men; this definitely became the reason for this self-sacrifice and artificially lowered requirements. Since that time the demographic situation didn't changed. In their love Russian women often trust their hearts, not logical thinking. One may be a tall, handsome and wealthy fellow and still fail to attract a Russian woman's attention; the other one may be crazy about her and still fail to arouse a response in her. It does not mean she needs a man with physical or spiritual shortcomings. The thing is that she must fall in love with You and Only You and then you may count on all-conquering forgiveness and on absolute devotion.
Usually Russian woman does not expect to profit by her love, she is genuinely selfless, and she often sacrifices her career and her interests because of her family interests and needs. Devotion determines to a great extent the behavior of a Russian bride in love. For most Russian women the words of the church wedding rite 'I vow to stay with my husband in grief and joy until death separates us', are still the matter of current significance.
Russian lady and her husband
A married Russian woman has her life values arranged as follows: children - husband - relatives - her home - her job. As you can see, husband plays one of the predominant roles in her life. Always he is a regular sexual partner. A Russian women nowadays, especially those over 25-30 years old, has certain problems with finding a man to establish permanent sexual relations with. So, the husband is everything to her. This is also proved by the fact that after the wedding the number of female friends of a young wife is considerably reduced: she doesn't need them any more because her husband also becomes her best friend.
The husband has traditionally been the highest authority for the Russian woman. She will not go out, nor make major purchases, does not take any important decisions without first consulting with him.
For Russian woman, children are the highest value. If you already have your own children (from your previous marriage) Russian lady will surely love them too, as if he were her own ones, because the beloved man and his offsprings are inseparable for her.
