Do you plan on finding yourself a lovely foreign woman to call your bride? There are many options you can choose from, ranging from dating apps to matchmaking sites.

In this day and age, you’re probably no stranger to online dating already. Many people are turning on their phones or PCs to explore their options and meet new people. The gate to a new life is right at the palm of your hands, so seize the opportunity.

But if you are to venture into the world of online dating, you have to be prepared to put in the work.

Recklessly diving face-first into the cyber world is highly discouraged. If you want to effectively find a foreign partner with whom you can see eye to eye, you need to come up with a dating criteria and stick to it.

For a better chance at success, dating smarter is the best way to go. Not only are you streamlining your options for a potential partner, but you are also saving yourself from the hassle of unnecessary heartbreak.

This especially rings true when you are dating foreign women online. One simply does not walk into Mordor without a plan of action. You have to know what you are getting into.

To help you effectively date foreign women online, we’ve compiled everything you need to know about how you can date smarter.

1. Know exactly what you are looking for in a partner.

It can be difficult to know what you are looking for in a partner, especially when you’ve just started dating online.

It’s easy to say to a stranger that you don’t mind their quirks and whatnot. You’ll more or less be accepting of who they are. But somewhere down the line, you’ll eventually realize that it’s not going to work out for you two.

For example:

This woman from Ukraine might not be open to the idea of marriage, while this other woman from Thailand doesn’t want to have children at all.

Which do you choose? The correct answer is neither.

As beautiful as this Ukrainian lady is, she’s most probably not looking for a long-term relationship. The Thai woman would not be a good fit either since it would be difficult for you to start a family with her.

The point is, you need to stick to your dating criteria. Sure, it's difficult to find someone whose life goals align with yours. But having standards will help you pick the right person. It will prevent you from settling for less than you deserve.

Remember: there are tons of fish in the sea, but there is also a lot of trash in the same sea. If you plan on casting a big net to catch more fish, expect to find garbage as well.

2. Be wise about sharing your personal information.

You’re bound to encounter a few superficial women online. Some are not discreet about their agenda, while some you’d least expect to go after your wallet.

If you don’t want to attract a gold digger, don’t advertise yourself as a gold mine.

Don’t brag about what car you drive or how much money you make in a month. You’re essentially giving out an invitation to be used as a credit card.

Be self-aware and be wary of the personal information you are sharing. This is not only for your safety but for the future of your relationship as well.

3. Arrange to meet in person.

Seeing someone online is a vastly different experience from seeing them in real life.

It’s hard to enjoy their company when you aren’t beside each other. Video calls can only do so much to capture their true character in real life.

To make your relationship official, you have to meet first.

It’s a lot riskier for women to travel solo, so it’s best if you offer to go over their place instead. Then again, you're also exposing yourself to potential risks.

Before you go over to their place, here are a few reminders:

  • Make sure you have travel insurance.
  • If you plan to use a credit or debit card, notify your bank about your travel.
  • Secure your passport.
  • Avoid wearing touristy clothes.

Your first meeting is a memorable life event. If you want it to go smoothly, you have to be well-prepared.

4. Exchange socials with them.

By socials, it means your social media accounts, NOT your social security number.

There’s no harm in exchanging social media accounts with each other. It’s much better than stalking someone without them knowing (which is a common modern dating practice that’s frowned upon by many).

Women are a lot more active on social networking sites than men. They use it to keep in touch with their loved ones, make a post, or build connections online. If they deem you trustworthy enough to share their personal accounts with you, it’s a good sign that tells you she’s interested.

To add to that, knowing that the person you are seeing has a social media account makes them feel more credible. You’ll sleep better at night knowing that the foreign lady you like is real and not some catfish.

It also helps you to know more about them — such as their character and their day-to-day lives. Do they like shopping? Are they fond of cats? It’s these little details that help you get to know them better.

There are a lot of things you need to consider when dating foreign women online. If you want your online relationship to end in a happy ending, take the above-mentioned pieces of advice and keep them in mind.

Making New Connections through Online Dating

Wouldn’t it be nice to find a genuine foreign woman to love online? Someone who is not only beautiful and interesting but who also shares the same life goals as you.

While the chances of finding that someone online is low, it’s not impossible. You just need to look in the right place. There are hundreds of online dating sites out there, so make sure you pick the right one. Your perfect match is waiting for you.
