According to dating expert Richard La Ruina, if you’re looking to try an Eastern European dating experience, you can consider dating a Russian woman. He described these ladies as beautiful, smart, and raised with good manners.

But this doesn’t mean that all Russian ladies share the same traits. Each person can be different and unique in their own way. Just take note that the better they are, the harder it can be to impress them.

So if you happen to meet a Russian lady and would love to take her out on a date, then this article can maybe help you.

Because if you really like her, it can be difficult to contain those first date jitters. You want to impress her, but you don’t know if your local dating knowledge works the same on Russian women.

Here are a few good tips to consider:

Dress to impress

We’re talking about sharp, well-fitting clothes that accentuate your broad shoulders and lean body. Just don’t wear outfits that might make it difficult for you to move around in.

For example, if you choose to meet her at a nice restaurant for dinner, then choose a classy outfit that matches the mood. Perhaps a plain shirt, jacket, and a pair of chinos.

Or if you’re going out with her on a casual Saturday date at the mall and watching a movie later, then dress appropriately.

Some Russian ladies judge a man by the way he looks. It shows how much confidence and self-esteem he has for himself. So be bold and act confident when meeting her.

Be chivalrous

Being courteous at the first meeting can help make a good impression. There’s something about a man who knows how to properly treat a lady.

Whether it’s a small gesture such as opening the door and letting her walk through first or sending her flowers on a random day because you were thinking of her, there’s just something about unexpected and sweet surprises that makes a girl smile and think fondly of you.

When she realizes you’re always considerate of her feelings, finding ways to constantly express your respect and trust for her, she’ll most likely become dazzled by you.

Don’t act too intimate

This principle is the same for a lot of women. Don’t expect the first date to head straight towards intimacy, not even when she shows a strong interest in you.

A real gentleman must know how to treat a lady and avoid acting needy in front of her.

Of course, this doesn’t mean Russian ladies have prude attitudes. Some of them are outgoing, fun, and entertaining to be around. Just remember that the first date should center around learning about each other’s lives and hobbies.

Take note that some Russian ladies are looking for a long-term commitment and not a quick hook-up.

Be on time

Some Russian women prefer their men to be present at an agreed time and place before they themselves arrive. They don’t want to be kept waiting. So try to be on time.

If she ends up waiting for you during your first date, it might give her the impression that she isn’t a top priority. And that turns most women off. So you better arrive early even if she ends up being late.

If you can’t help but be late for some reason, you should notify her ahead of time and don’t forget to bring a gift like a bouquet or box of chocolates.

Take genuine interest

The way you approach and talk to a Russian lady can sometimes determine whether or not she will want to continue seeing you.

For example, if you start bragging about how much money you make in a year and how lucky she is to be on a date with you, don’t be surprised if she refuses to see you a second time.

It’s true that Russia hasn’t had the best economy compared to other Western countries, but it doesn’t mean you can use your financial wealth as a means to attract women.

If there are some aspects about her country you don’t like, then it’s best to keep it to yourself.

Instead, try connecting with her in the first meeting. Ask her what she likes or dislikes. What does she do in her spare time? What are her future goals and dreams?

Find common ground and develop a connection from there.

How you can tell if she likes you

Like many good dates, you can tell if she likes you if she feels comfortable around you. She laughs at your jokes and engages in active conversation. You can also tell by the genuine way she smiles, indicating if she’s having a good time with you or not.

If you’ve managed to make a great first impression, chances are she might agree to see you again for a second date and so on. What’s important is that you value the time she spends with you. That way, you are not just showing interest in her, but also respect — a trait that they highly seek in a long term partner.

So relax, smile, and be confident. Meetings can happen almost every day, but first impressions can also be a hit or miss. So it’s best to show up prepared instead of just winging it.

Here are a few ways you can tell if she likes you:

  • She starts flirting with you a lot
  • She always wants your attention
  • She follows your profile on social media
  • She invites you to a home-cooked dinner
  • She gives lots of eye contact
  • She is always close to you

Before long, you might end up slipping an engagement ring down her finger and start a new life together.

And even if you don’t end up getting a second date with her, you can at least rest easy knowing you did your best. You can use your experience and try your luck with someone else.

We know meeting Russian women, whether online or in real life, can be a challenge. That’s why we hope this article helped you learn how to impress Russian women on the first date or meeting.

We wish you all the best!
