We realize that this may be the first time you have ever considered meeting a woman by using a service such as ours. This section is intended to allow you to benefit from the experience of others. By interviewing numerous men and researching volumes of material, we have compiled a top-twenty list of hints that will prove beneficial in your research for a foreign woman. Even if you are an old hand at this, it's never too late to learn something new

 1. Do Not Send Money!!! Just like anywhere, there are honest people and there are dishonest people. The point of your correspondence is to develop a special relationship with a foreign woman, not to purchase one. We want you to be aware that you may contact women who will ask you for money for one reason or another. Remember it is a matter of pride for any honest Russian and Ukrainian woman that no matter how badly off she may be financially, if she is truly interested in you, she will NOT ask you for money. It is that simple. 
If you are asked for money it should immediately set off alarms and you should proceed very cautiously. There are instances where there may be a valid reason to send money to someone with whom you have been corresponding for some time. In that instance it is recommended that you send it via wire.

 2. Send her the very best photo of yourself that you can find. This is not one of you and your mates drinking down the pub, one of you with your arm around some girl, one with sunglasses, or one you need to squint so hard your eyes fall out to see what you look like. If you don't have a good one, consider having a professional one made. Don't make the mistake of writing to a beautiful woman and sending her a poor quality photo of yourself. You want to know what she looks like...Well, she is as curious about you as you are about her, so try to get her attention by sending her something she will be attracted to...an old, poor quality photo is not the best thing to send to her...

 3. Honesty is the best policy and lies are always discovered. Most of these women are highly educated and they are looking for sincere, honest men who will treat them with love and respect, please don't make the mistake of thinking that they are ignorant or that you can treat them badly, after all, this is why they do not want to marry many of the men from their own country. Treat her like a princess, and she will become your princess. Also remember a Russian or Ukrainian lady is very loyal and if you treat her right, your Russian wife will never leave you because once you are in her heart, you will stay there forever.

 4. Remember when writing your letter that this woman's native language is not English. That doesn't mean she will not be able to understand your letter, but by keeping it simple you will have a much better chance of successfully communicating with her. Try to avoid using four- or five- syllable words; instead of impressing her, you will probably just confuse her.

 5. Write to as many women as possible. By writing many women you greatly increase your chances of success!!! The more attractive a woman, the more letters she will receive so when writing to these women it is especially important to write to as many as possible

 6. This information is there for a reason, you will be wasting your time as well as the lady's by responding to a woman whom you know you will not be compatible with.

 7. Write in Russian if your recipient has difficulty translating English. Its important letters is fully understood, so if there's any doubt as to the English proficiency of the recipient, have the letter translated before sending.

 8. We suggest that you register a separate email account (for example, at Hotmail) for this campaign, so you will be able to track the results, and also close it down when you have found your one and only. Any advertising campaign brings plenty of junk mail, and publishing your real email address is unwise.

 9. Try to keep the initial letter fast-paced. You certainly don't want to be discussing things like marriage and what your children might look like in your first letter! You may want to tell her a little about yourself, where you were raised, and what schools you have attended. Write a little about your interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes. Basically, just write about things that you would normally talk about on a first date.

10. Make sure you ask her plenty of questions about herself in your first letter. People like to know that others are interested in them and their activities. By asking questions about her she will think that you are interested in her as a person and she will want to respond to you immediately.

If you want to get a woman's attention make your letter happy and interesting! Tell her about yourself and where you live, what you like to do for fun, your goals and your ambitions, and especially tell her what you are looking for in a marriage partner, but most of all make it serious, or funny, or romantic. Don't make it dull or sound like a form letter. Women like to know lots of details so try to describe things in a romantic way so she can almost see and feel what it is that you are describing.

11. You may find it useful to do some independent research on the country of origin of the woman you are interested in. Not only will it impress the woman, but it may save you from committing a gaffe. You must always remember that this woman was raised in a totally different culture than our own. Obviously, it is in your best interest to know as much as possible about that culture.

12. Here are some topics for use during telephone conversations. Ask everything about her and forget about yourself. Get as much info as possible.

What is your typical day like?
Where is your apartment?
Do you live with your parents?
Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Can you talk privately?
What is your idea of life in (Your country)?
Do you want children?
Do you want any more children?
If it's not a secret, how old are you?
Did you go to the university?
What is your field of study?
Are you religious?
Do you like cats?
What does a girl wear when meeting her future fiancee for the first time?
How should the man dress?

13. Be prepared to meet your ladies. Unless you are willing to make the journey to meet your chosen lady, there is no real point in writing to a lady, so consider this when you start writing to her. Letter writing is fine, up to a point, until you've got to know her. At some point you have to meet her and decide, or someone else will do it for you and you will have lost her.

14. Don't delay your visit to see her personally. The average time between beginning of e-mail exchanging and the visit to see a lady is about 6 months. Remember that she joined a dating service, not a pen pal club. One visit is worth hundreds of letters.

15. DON’T send pictures of your houses, cars or boats on the first stages of your correspondence – it will look like you are trying to buy a woman and not want her to fall in love with you for who you are.

16. DON’T ask woman about sex priorities and fantasies in the first letter. Maybe it’s OK to discuss it on later stage, but it’s not common in Russia to open your heart and thoughts to a stranger at once.

17. Russian names use unlike many others abbreviations, or “pet names”.
When two people are in love, usually they are calling each other with tender and loving names.
In the following table we have placed the most common Russian names and their abbreviations and “pet names”.
If you are in correspondence with Russian woman and want to show her a special attention – try to call her “pet name” and We bet she would be surprised and pleased.
 

 
18. Write women who will fit into your lifestyle. If you live in the country, far away from larger cities avoid writing to the ladies who list their hobbies as theatre, fashions, etc. Instead write to ones who enjoy nature, animals, may be gardening & outdoor activities.

19. Be patient. This is an important process and the results of the decision that you make will be far reaching and long lasting. Take the time to correspond with many different women before committing to that special one. One of the key features of our service is that we are continuously updating our service with new women, thus giving you new choices. This is an important decisions that you will ever make, so please be patient, be thorough, and most of all, enjoy the process.

20. The last and probably most important tip of all is: These ladies dream about having a caring and loyal husband. They dream about having a happy and loving family with a secure future. These are the reasons why they leave their countries, friends and relatives behind. So don’t lose sight of the fact that it is morally very difficult for them to leave. They have a strong sense of family and place. Your Russian wife will need your help to feel she has made the right decision in leaving her home to find a new and better one.
