Some of your traditions are not a rule for Russian and these actions, usual for you, can look ridiculous for Russian brides. When you like a girl – you can explain her these traditions later, but at the very first date you would better abstain from them in order to make your first Russian dating successful.
Here are some of our advices:
1) Tips
It’s a rule for you to pay 3-10% of bill as a tip. There is also a tip tradition in Russia. It’s not necessary but if they want to give tip, they usually pay more and say “No change” and never count the amount of tip. If you will start counting of searching for 1 ruble for tip it will look miserable and can spoil your Russian dating. You would better forget about tip, this behavior looks better for single Russian women.
2) Bubble gum
There are a lot of single Russian women chewing bubbly gum in order to fresh breath, but it is admitted in Russian chewing a gum in official or advertising places (restaurants, theaters, cinemas, operas, etc.) looks impolite. So if you start chewing near your Russian bride it can spoil your impression. The perfect way to avoid uncomfortable situation is to stop chewing just before the Russian dating. If you date is at skating rink or disco (nightclub) – the bubble gum is OK.
3) Toast
When you drink wine or some other alcohol during your Russian dating – say some toast words before. It’s the ancient Russian Tradition. Usual “Cheers!” look nice, but only once. You can say some of the following phrases to your Russian bride or hose your own phrase:
I drink to you!
To you, my Love!
To our love!
To us!
Drink the health of you!
4) Good places for Russian Dating
Restaurants are most popular places for Russian dating, but not the only possible. If you are active, you can invite your Russian bride to an ice skating or roller skating rink (if you are experienced in it), to bowling or dance club or amusement park. Making some actions together is very useful for knowing each other. In addition, bubble gum, pop-corn, coke and ice-cream are appropriate for single Russian women in such places. If you wish to impress your Russian bride – invite her to Opera or Ballet performance. You will be in similar situation (most operas are in Italian) and this act ensures the Lady you are classy and a real gentleman.
5) Good manners
Single Russian women, like many others prefer polite men to be near them. It’s clear that different people consider different behavior polite. You have no need to follow all complicated rules, but some simple actions can impress your Russian bride and make her happy. Hold her coat in order to help her wearing it; give her a hand when go out the restaurant, club or car.
Don’t forget about these actions and you will succeed in Russian dating. Simple, isn’t it
