If you are dating a Russian girl, then it is a must to present her with something on this day. In Russia, people do care about Valentine’s Day. So, you better not ignore it. Show your bride a good time and bring her some joy across the distance!

Here is a list of the best ideas on how to surprise a Russian mail-order bride in a romantic way.

# Tip 1. Come to visit

If you are still fighting the distance and live in different parts of the world, it will be a great surprise indeed when your lady sees you live! Come to her place and make it your gift for Valentine’s Day. You can spend some quality time together. Walking and visiting cafes, having romantic dates and just enjoying each other’s company - that sounds like a perfect script for a Valentine’s Day.

# Tip 2. Send a simple gift

Flowers, and sweets, and soft toys are something that will never get old-fashioned. It is a gesture that expresses your attention and affection, so why not use it to remind about your love? Most Russian singles appreciate these things and like to receive gifts from men. Hence, they will be beyond pleased if you do the same on Valentine’s Day. It’s classic, it’s simple, yet - very nice and appealing.

# Tip 3. Know what she dreams about

Every girl has a dream, and Russian brides are not an exception. Try to be attentive while your communication and remember what your woman wants. Maybe she mentioned some beautiful dress that she desires? Or is it a beautiful accessory that she misses?

# Tip 4. Present jewellery

Probably there is no woman in the world who would think that jewelry is a bad present. You can send your Russian love a beautiful bracelet or a pretty pair of earrings - that will be a 10/10 guess. Think about the style she will like, ask for a consultation at the jewelry store. Qualified shop assistants can help you pick the right item. Such a gift will always remind your lady of you. What could be better (and more romantic) on Valentine’s Day?

# Tip 5. Organize a romantic trip

This can be a great adventure for both of you. And just imagine the joy of your Russian girl that will receive a message like: “See you in Paris” - and an airplane ticket in the envelope. A trip always brings tons of new impressions and memories. That is the best thing to give to the loved ones, so don’t underestimate the importance of such big deals. Sure, it will cost you more than flowers delivery, but it will be much more memorable and precious.

5 Must-Dos While Dating a Russian Bride

Russian people have a peculiar mentality — it’s challenging to understand the Russian soul. If you are dating a Russian bride and you want to impress her without getting misunderstood or even embarrassed, these are five things that you must do.

1. Always stay in touch with your Russian bride

Russian women depend very much on the attention of their partners. If you happened to date a Russian bride, make sure she doesn’t lack your attention. First of all, regularly text her and call her — this will make her feel comfortable with you, peaceful and happy.

Texting «good morning, baby» and «good night» isn’t enough. Basically, you have to approach your Russian bride every time when you have a free minute. Be genuinely curious about what happens in her life and share as much as you can about yours. Simple!

2. Compliment the looks of your Russian girlfriend

Russian girls grow up in a society which demands them to look perfect and feminine for men. They adore fashionable clothes, they watch YouTube makeup and hairstyle tutorials and put the theory to practice, they wear heels and do manicure — all to attract the attention of men. There’s even a joke in Russia — a true Russian girl won’t leave her house without full makeup and being stylish even if she goes out to buy a loaf of bread!

Therefore, compliment her efforts. She is doing that for you. By telling a Russian bride that she looks stunning and wonderful, you will melt her heart and make her try to please you even more.

3. Eat everything that the Russian bride cooks for you

Yes, Russian cuisine (with all it’s boiled grains and porridges like buckwheat, beet soups like borsch, thousands of recipes of boiled, mashed and baked potatoes) isn’t for everyone. But admit it, it’s tasty! Especially, when cooked by your Russian bride!

Eat everything that she offers to you — it’s only because she wants to show you her talents. Russian women are usually told that the way to the man’s heart lies through his stomach — so there’s no wonder why she will try to tackle your hunger.

Also note, that in Russia it is common to cook in advance, so don’t get surprised if your Russian bride feeds you with the same shchi (cabbage soup) for five days in a row (it’s still tasty and healthy!).

4. Pay the bills and give her flowers

A Russian bride will do a lot to impress you. But she will expect you to impress her too. Russian women look for financial stability, strong man’s shoulder and chivalry. That’s why it is better if you pay the bills in restaurants, order taxi for her and, for sure, present her amazing bouquets.

Remember, though, that it’s not common to present to a woman an even number of flowers — usually such are brought to a funeral. Therefore, consult with a florist first before grabbing a pair of red roses.

5. Respect the homeland of your Russian woman

Russian women are very patriotic. They genuinely believe their country is the best, their people are the best and their culture is so. Hence, pay tribute to your Russian bride’s home and never be offensive towards it.

That’s all that you must do for your Russian bride!
