Women from Russia have been brought up in a different culture, this is why their expectations in dating can seem unusual. But once you know what is going on, it’s simple: Follow these dating tips and you can develop a great relationship.

Tip #7 for dating women from Russia: Courtship

This forgotten word still hold a lot of meaning for women from Russia. It means all the little things a man is doing for a woman he wants to be with.

Strangely enough, there are more women in Russia than men, which both genders admit and understand, but at the same time males are supposed to do a lot of things for females, which seems a bit strange, thinking about the laws of supply and demand.

If the laws of supply and demand couldn’t change the cultural customs of dating, then you can see just how strong this social paradigm is.

• Men are supposed to initiate and put more effort in during the first stage of the relationship (courtship).
• Once the woman commits herself to a man (by allowing intimacy), then the male can basically stop putting effort and the female is supposed to serve the guy.
• There are “male” and “female” duties in a relationship: The male’s duty is to provide, the female’s duty is to care for her male, the home, and the offspring.
• It is also the male’s duty to “court” the woman and her duty is to resist him for as long as possible.

The period of flowers and candies

The courtship period is called in Russia “the period of flowers and candies”, due to the fact that guys are supposed to shower ladies with bouquets and little gifts, chocolates being the most affordable and widely available.

• Girls love this time of the relationship, because later it’s all but a distant memory, once she commits to the guy (allows intimacy).
• Girls also resist for the fear of being seen as “easy”, which means she is not such a desirable catch.

It is somewhat a weird structure for the third decade of the second millennium, but it’s still a valid cultural fix. If you can simply accept this fact and follow the simple rules, then your results in dating women from Russia may be far superior than if you decide to fight these rules and try to insist on equal efforts from start to end.

She is happy to accept equal efforts from the moment on her committing to you (allowing intimacy) and she will be extremely excited about not being the only one to be responsible for everything at home, trust me — this is what women from Russia love about relationships with western men.

But she still wants her “period of flowers and candies”, this she doesn’t want to give up.  Can you give it to her, are you willing to make this sacrifice? Then she will be willing to make a giant sacrifice of leaving her home country and family behind to be with you! Which is a massive commitment, do you agree?

Is it worth a few bunches of flowers and some little gifts, and a bit of effort in initiating communication? You decide for yourself!
