How do most Russian ladies feel being so
far away from home, is homesickness a
problem?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, in the very beginning it's a problem.
Women feel very lonely and even cry
sometimes.

A woman does not know the country and
people, she experiences difficulties with
the simplest things like buying stuff in
a supermarket, she can't fluently
communicate.

But women don't want to go back to Russia.
They miss their friends and family but not
the country itself. As I said, women don't
realize how big the difference between
Russia and Western countries is. When they
have lived for a while in a country like
the USA or Western Europe, they get used
to it quickly and think about coming back
with fear.

How to make your romance blossom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remember that every girl would like to be
special. She will appreciate the efforts
you spend to win her heart. Sending a
letter or a postcard every day or week
can work wonders! Behave as if you are
already good friends, and don't be shy to
show your interest in her. Women like
insistent men.

Even if you received a negative
response from a girl but really
interested in her, ask her to let you
stay her friend and keep in touch.
Chances are, she'll change her mind
or her current romance won't work out.

Photos are good means to make your
acquaintance personal but use it in the
right way – it must be something special
and, of course, recent. Don't send photos
with every letter if all the difference
between them is the color of your shirt.

If you plan to visit woman's country,
tell her about it in the very beginning
to assure her that you are not writing
because of boredom or for entertainment.

After a couple of letters you can phone
your girl. You may phone even right after
you sent your first letter, just to tell
her that you did, and inform her, that
she is going to receive a detailed letter
from you one of these days. Make sure she
will remember your name. Speak slowly and
choose simple words because it's more
difficult to understand somebody by phone
than face to face.

Phone your lady from time to time, and
listen attentively to her voice. Is she
enthusiastic? Does she sound as if she
was waiting for your call or it's just a
politeness? Is she interested in your
life or just shortly answers your
questions? Even if a lady does not have
a home phone number, ask her to arrange
your conversation through friends, with
definite date and time when she will
expect your call. If she does not speak
English, use conference call services,
but you must try to talk to her otherwise
your relations seem unreal to her.

Sending flowers or gifts can have a
decisive impact to your relations. It
shows your genuine interest and care
about her. Don't forget to send
greetings with her birthday, Christmas
and New Year, Valentine's day and the
Women's Day (8th of March) or just
because you want to lighten her day!
Even if you can't afford to send a
gift, post a nice card with greetings
written by hand.

########################

However, do not try to impress a lady
only by sending her gifts. Yes, it
is very nice to receive flowers from
your pen friend, but nothing can
replace lack of personal communication.
Don't hope that only because you sent
her flowers she will prefer you to
another guy.

A lady may appreciate your sending
her $50 to pay for her English lessons
more than sending a $150 bunch of roses.
However, she is likely to refuse if you
offer her financial help. All this money
regarding
matters are very personal.

Offer your lady to pay her expenses for
email and postal services. (Yes, I told
that you must not send money to women,
but it's about the women who ask to send
them money or try to make you sending
money). Offering a lady to pay her
expenses shows your understanding of
Russian realities and genuine care about
her. Do it in a way that won't offend her.
She may be shy to accept your offer; tell
her that for you it's a great pleasure
to correspond with her and you would
love to do something to make it easier
for her. (Western Union will let you
send cash to the major Russian cities.)

When you have made up your mind tell
your lady about it as soon as possible.
Don't correspond with dozens of ladies
for months, try to make your choice
quickly, usually 2-3 letters is enough
to find out if a lady is what you are
looking for. Don't waste your and her
time.

Women may have some more correspondents
and also will have to make a decision.
Ask a lady if she feels you are right
for each other. Whenever in doubt,
don't hesitate to ask directly.
Be honest yourself. Be persistent but
gentle.

Women feel very insecure; and a lady may
make her choice in favor of the first
insistent candidate who finds enough
courage to visit her.
