Even within one country there are different custom based on location, so when we talk about dating someone from another country, there is a lot to learn and understand. If you are dating a woman from Russia, check these tips for the best results!
Tip #4 for dating women from Russia: Initiative
If you ever get to visit Russia, you will notice how much more feminine women are there. Traditional gender roles are encouraged and upheld there, which means in regard to dating that a man is supposed to initiate and “court” a woman, while the lady is expected to simply respond.
The way it works in Russia, women are used to doing nothing in the first early stages of a relationship (the courtship stage), while the man is doing everything: Planning dates, surprising her with flowers and little presents, opening doors, moving chairs, trying to make her laugh.
This means, a lady is unlikely to be as engaged and active in the early stages of a relationship and if you want to make it work, you have to put more efforts than she does. It’s not because she is not interested, it’s because of her upbringing.
You may think that if a woman wants to date a man from another country, she has to learn how it’s done there. She thinks exactly the same thing! If you want to date a woman from Russia, you have to learn how it’s done there.
It’s basically a pointless argument as the goal is the same, to get a loving relationship you both will enjoy. The one who can be more flexible will be able to get a better quality partner.
Dating rules
Changing beliefs in regard to dating rules may be just as hard as changing religious beliefs. Men in Russia are encouraged to be more active and masculine, and women are encouraged to receive and be feminine. Her whole life she and all females around her were behaving in a certain way and it’s quite hard to change suddenly one’s behaviour.
The same is applicable to you as well, of course. It may be hard for you to be more proactive, even without getting the same strength of interest in response from the woman, and it may feel to you that she is just allowing you to court her and has no strong feelings for you.
But in reality, if she weren’t interested, she wouldn’t be spending time on you at all. She works hard to provide for herself and maybe her kids and parents as well: It’s 8 hours daily at work or more, plus 2-3 hours that she spends to get to the office. Household duties and cooking (which takes longer in Russia as people cannot afford precooked meals, they make them from scratch) are also her responsibilities.
Time is precious commodity for women in Russia and they wouldn’t waste it on someone she dislikes. So, if she spends time on your communication (chat to her on video), then you know she is interested.
