Look around the (online dating) web and you will notice that the online dating scene is a lot focused on single Russian women and other East European women. The reason that in particular women from these countries are looking for a foreign partner is generally known, but will not be discussed in this article. But I do like to give you some tips when you must NOT dating or contacting Russian women.
Let me give you 6 valuable tips:
Tip 1.
If you are a single man and you don’t want to be single anymore then you probably already are using the Internet as a source to find a new partner. But fun dating, chatting and ‘playing around’ with people from your own culture or country is something different then being determined to find specific a Russian woman with the one and only purpose: to marry her. This means traveling to Russia (to meet her), possible language barrier, learning about the Russian (women) culture, be prepared for unexpected situations, like money expenses, possible scam situations (if you are looking in the wrong places) and many more.
If you are not convinced about yourself that this is all worth for you, then don’t start dating or contacting Russian women. A serious looking Russian woman who is a formal member of a serious established agency has already prepared herself before she decides to register herself as a possible candidate for serious looking single men from all over the world. She is not looking for pen pals or everlasting month’s of email correspondence, no she is looking for a life partner with one main purpose: to build a happy family.
Tip 2.
If you think that register yourself at some dubious free dating site would be enough to present yourself as a serious looking single man, who is looking for a serious marriage minded Russian woman with the expectation that many women will contact you first, then don’t start to find your future Russian wife in these places, because you will not find them here. These kind of sites can be fun of course, but are also hotbeds for possible scammers.
Believe me, I have unfortunately a lot of experience with men who started at the wrong places. Be smart and take a huge head-start by avoiding these places.
Tip 3.
There are people who register themselves in men’s catalogs with photographs as if they are looking like ‘Tarzan’s’ or use photo’s only wearing swimming shorts, just to impress young good looking ladies. And write a biography using 3 lines like “Hello, my name is [name], I am a single man looking for a young beautiful woman who also likes music, going out, having fun and drive fast cars, if you are interested, then please write me back”
If you identify yourself with that kind of persons, then don’t contact or try to impress Russian women in such way. Russian women are not looking for Brad Pitt look-alikes or muscles like Sylvester Stallone. They are not judging ‘looks’ at all, and you will find out why if you take the trouble to do this the right way.
Tip4.
If you think Russian women are looking for any (western) man just because you think they are looking for a new country, a better life, a wealthy man, no matter if he is 20 years older than she is, then please keep on dreaming. They just seek compatible partners for long term-relationships and marriage and want to love and be loved, that’s all no more, no less!
Tip 5.
If you don’t have a regular job or (enough) income or don’t have a house/apartment (rent or owned) big enough to live with a family, or if you have any serious criminal records (I am not talking about non paid parking tickets), then don’t try to bring a Russian woman into your country. You will not succeed. Not because of my personal advise which has nothing to do with this, but because of the strict regulations, procedures and rules that are imposed by the authorities when you have the intention to immigrate a Russian woman into your country. Please advise the official USCIS website by yourself: http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/fiance.htm
Tip 6
If you think, that when she finally joins you in your country, you can start living your ‘normal’ life again and if you think she is capable enough to find her own way in your (for her) strange country, to find at once a job, to teach herself your language and find by herself new friends and if you think she should be ‘thankful’ that you have ‘pulled her out’ her poor mafia controlled and corrupted country, then don’t start even thinking about contacting a Russian woman. At least the first month’s she will need extra support from you to settle herself with you as a ‘just married’ husband-and-wife couple and she has to adjust to your country (customs), your culture, your language, your friends, your colleague’s, your shops, your train and bus schedule, your etc. and that takes time and patience from both of you.
But my (western) husband and I can assure you: It’s all worth it!
Please do not think I am some weird arrogant Russian woman and do understand that I am certainly not trying to discourage you to ‘date’ Russian women, on the contrary, I only want to give you some serious tips about the things that really won’t work and if you want to learn more, please visit my website http://www.russian-women-info.com and start reading my Information and Advice chapters.

I was scared, lonely, angry, and had no idea what to do next. I blindly stepped into the dating world and failed miserably. My friends and family kept telling me it would get better but it got worse with time! I thought being pretty, intelligent, nice, and well dressed was enough. It wasn’t, I tried therapy, coaching, and dating books but nothing worked for me. Until I met Mike the MasterDater…How a MasterDater changed my dating life!Mike was a guest on my radio show, “Divorce Guru.” The topic was how to date successfully after a divorce. Instead of interviewing Mike for the benefit of my worldwide listeners I dropped my professional radio host hat and started asking Mike what the heck I was doing wrong in my dating life!Someone to answer your dating questions…After we were off-air Mike told me I could call him anytime with any dating questions. I said thank you impressed that he was willing to help, but not wanting to be a bother, until…• I went on a seemingly “great date” never to get called back! WTF??• A met a hot guy and he had the audacity to demand sex on the third date!• A guy that seemed so cool in person kept sending me filthy text messages, grrrr… (Mike stopped this with one text)• I asked a guy out after Mike told me not to and it failed miserably… (Learn from us how to do this correctly!) • I went out to dinner with someone I thought was a keeper, but when the bill arrived he pulled out a calculator!• My online profile kept attracting FREAKS! (So easy to fix this)• I kept meeting married men that wanted to sleep with me. (We teach you the pitfalls of even considering this)Mike was always there for me and now WE want to return the favor to you.Men do NOT think like women…Mike responded to all of my “newly broken up” and “newly dating again” questions with answers that I would never have guessed! But Mike is a man (a straight man the understands both men and women) and was telling me exactly what the men I went on dates with were thinking…and not thinking! I really had no idea what was going on, and without Mike’s help I would have never made it so far, so fast.Everyone needs a guide to lead the way…I told Mike “I wish all my girlfriends, listeners and readers, had someone like you to guide them and give them the lowdown on what they should and shouldn’t do when it comes to dating and men.” Mike replied, “Why don’t we write a book?” 126 pages, 50,000 words, and 1 hour of video later, the guide was born! (9 Killer Videos are Included with the book)You probably assumed you would be with this one man forever, only to find that “happily ever after” usually doesn’t mean foreverWe understand this and we want to take your hand and lead you to the perfect relationship.

I find this dilemma rather common for younger couples, probably mid or late 30s and younger.
Usually one reports, “falling out of love” and is truly disturbed by this shift. He/she (and this is not merely a female problem!) wants to “recapture” those feelings.
This person has found a “significant other” who has stirred those dormant feelings and this person once again “feels in love.”
They are determined not to “settle” for a less than an ideal relationship, which means, of course, feeling the love feelings.
Here are some Key Points for this kind of affair. (The 6 others are outlined in my E-book.)
1. Unfortunately, our culture (movies, songs, romance novels, soap operas, romance comedies) teaches us that this is how it’s supposed to be. “Falling in love” is the norm the implication being, that if it doesn’t happen, or if it goes away, something is wrong with you, your spouse or the marriage. A good relationship must first unlearn a great deal.
2. The person who was driven to find “that loving feeling” (reminds me of a song
) usually experiences a high degree of guilt and conflict. He/she is often married to a “good” person and the desire to “find that loving feeling” seems selfish (which it is) and immature (which it is). Intuitively (and this person usually has a great deal of intuition and sensitivity) it is known at another level that he/she is not on the right path.
3. This person usually has a need for drama and excitement. Life easily becomes a soap opera. Emotional juice from the fall-out of emotionally intense relationships reigns rather than living life from the core of who one is.
4. There is little understanding, or perhaps healthy models, of the shifts needed as a relationship matures. For example, “falling out of love” usually happens when the attractors become the distracters. For example: His love for fun and spontaneity, which drew her initially to him, becomes irresponsibility. Her stability and calm, which drew him initially to her, become control.
5. The person “looking for love” is actually looking for the ideal, someone out there, who will project back to him/her that he/she is OK. No, more than OK, close to perfect.
6. This person needs to be adored, or think another adores him/her, because there is a lack of inner strength and solid identity. The other becomes my world, because I lack a world. Being “in love” is the panacea for my emptiness.
7. Sexual intercourse does not need to be a part of these relationships. Sexual activity may indeed END the relationship or at least move it to the point where the attractors become, again, the distracters. The idealized images may be held together by long phone calls, gifts, holding, love letters, e-mails, etc.
8. This type of affair often occurs when there is a “lull” in the marriage relationship. The responsibility of raising children, starting and maintaining a career, paying bills, etc. become the focal point for the couple. Romance becomes a foreign word. People are especially vulnerable for this type of affair after the children are in school and/or the oldest child reaches early adolescence. (There are good reasons for this, from a family systems perspective, but I won’t get into that here.)
Tip: If your spouse is struggling with this type of relationship, make sure you hold and care for your self. Your spouse does not have the capacity to do this for you (or anyone) at this point. Yes, you are ok. Her/his affair says less about you and much more about the emptiness within her/him. It is time for you to know you better. Model for him/her what it means to be a person with a core, with integrity, with boundaries, with values, with meaning, with purpose and actively figure out what your needs are, and get them met. Maybe she will ask questions. Maybe she will not. Maybe soon. Maybe later.

Dating Rocks is a 240 page dating manifesto that outlines everything a woman should do to find, date and keep a man -- from being aware of her physical appearance to honing her listening skills. The best part of this book is Nakamoto's wit as he helps the reader along. As a former Dale Carnegie instructor, personal development trainer, and international tour director, Nakamoto knows how to tell a story. There's a rather amusing tale of how he and a friend had sworn off all women as gold-diggers since all of the women they encountered at an upscale nightclub would only go out with them once. A friend of theirs tells them, "The problem isn't that these women are gold-diggers. It's that you guys unfortunately can't afford them." Lesson to be learned from such wise words: don't try to place the blame for your lousy love life on someone or something else; be proactive, take control of your love life, and good things will follow. The book follows a rigid but successful format. Each chapter begins with a nifty quote from a major author or artist, past or present. For instance, Chapter 13 titled "Competition," opens with a quote from Margaret Halsey: "The great disadvantage of being in a rat race is that it is humiliating. The competitors in a rat race are by definition rodents." An honest male prospective that summarizes what is to be learned in the chapter follows these quotes. Nakamoto also includes an anecdote from his life such as the email he received from a woman complaining about an aspect of her dating life, followed by a list of steps on how to successfully accomplish whatever the theme of the chapter happens to be. Nakamoto, is not new to the "how to catch a man arena." His previous book, Men are like Fish: Everything a Woman Needs to Know about Catching a Man, was a funny, intelligent look at the dating scene with tips on how to not only initiate a great relationship but enhance the one you are in. In his latest book he offers an honest and refreshing male perspective that any woman can use if she finds herself in a dating slump. Unlike many of the dating books out there, he doesn't send the message that women should wait for a man to decide what he wants to do about being together but instead he teaches women how to be proactive when it comes to their love life. He tells them to put themselves first -- their needs, wants, and desires. Ladies, you can't get any better advice than that. In Dating Rocks you will find no catchy phrases and no antiquated ideals, just good solid advice (that may or may not net you a man), but along the way will provide you with a great deal of fun, insight and personal growth.

Each of us has a variety of roles we play in life. Some of my most important roles are as a woman, as a mother, and as a wife. I am currently reading a book that eloquently speaks to all three.
The book is The Bitch in the House, edited by Cathy Hanauer. It’s a series of essays written by women about being women: being wives, mothers, workers in our world. It mostly deals with the rage, uncertainty, and sometimes confusion over our lives. It’s incredibly well written (really, really, really well written – after all, most of these essayists are professional writers), and it has the potential to help bring us together as a gender.
Each essay is different and is written from the point of view, frame of reference, and experience of each individual woman. Many of the essays center around marriage, or the decision not to marry, and parenting, or the decision not to parent. These writers bare their souls about the mistakes they’ve made, the problems they have, and how they’re working toward their dreams. Each has found a different answer to her particular point of view.
The essay I just finished today had to do with a woman who, after one disastrous marriage, decided to avoid marriage altogether. Well (and you see this coming, don’t you?), she meets a new, great guy, they get married, and now she needs to reconcile the fact that she doesn’t want to lose her individuality with her true love for her husband. In her essay, she talks about how marriage differs from the courtship in that the mysterious, unknown woman he was courting is replaced by a woman whom he knows intimately, and for whom there are no surprises.
She talks about how she doesn’t want her husband to know her so well that he’s no longer intrigued. She says she doesn’t want him to know her “fall dance, winter dance, spring dance. . .That idea gives me the creeps. I do not ever allow my husband to think that he fully knows me, that he has that access.”
After reading about this woman who goes out into her garden where her husband is not allowed and smokes (which she says is completely forbidden) in order to remain somewhat a mystery, I took a look at what I have and want in my own marriage.
I have to disagree with her. I want my husband to know me. I want him to know my fall dance, winter dance, and spring dance. There’s a comfort in being known, in not having to explain what kinds of books I like or the fact that I really hate fake wood paneled basements (a strange leftover from childhood) or that I have trouble buying bras and panties (oh, yes, he’s intimately acquainted with all my foibles!).
I like being able to say one word, and he knows exactly what I mean. Now, that kind of intimate knowledge could lead to boredom, a kind of ennui about our relationship. I choose for it not to. Instead of feeling bored and sighing, “Oh, yes, I know what’s he’s going to say – how trivial,” we’re on a different level where we can skip past the explanation of what that means and on to the next subsequent thought or idea.
Something else that comes as a result of years together is all the shared memories. We can see a green Ford Explorer, and we both think back to the time when we were in college and saw a green Explorer with a baby seat in the back and a Christmas tree on the top – all of our dreams rolled into one vehicle (it was only missing a dog leash, as far as we could see). If I’m with someone else and see a green Explorer, there’s no shared frame of reference. And I would feel alone. And sad.
Now, I completely get that in a marriage much of the intrigue is gone. Once he sees you plucking your eyebrows and shaving your legs, one could say that some of the mystery is gone. However, that loss of mystery and intrigue is replaced by the comfort of a shared life. When we hear Peter Gabriel’s song, “In Your Eyes,” we immediately look at each other, both thinking back to the first movie we watched together, Say Anything (my husband has a romantic streak although he may not admit it in public).
Do I sometimes long for those days where we were just getting to know each other, and everything, including our physical relationship, was new and exciting? Sure. But there’s something else about those days. There was some fear and anxiety about them, too. What if he really gets to know me and doesn’t like me? What if he thinks I’m a flake (a real possibility)? And then, as we got more and more serious: is he going to want the same things I’m going to want?
Can it sometimes be annoying when he tries to finish my sentences for me? Absolutely. Especially when he nails it right on the head. Do I sometimes get satisfaction from those times that I do surprise him? You betcha. But for the most part, I want the comfort and safety in knowing that he knows me, just about every bit of me, and he still wants me.
I really don’t want to exchange that comfort for mystery. So, while I’m dealing with the rage, uncertainty, and confusion in my own life, I’ll do so with the secure knowledge that my biggest advantage is my husband, who loves me, knows me, and continues to be intrigued by me.

What a joy it is to know that you’ll be bringing all your closest family members and friends together to celebrate your wedding! As you begin to contemplate the type of entertainment that you’ll offer your guests, it dawns on you that it will be no easy task to find the perfect wedding band or DJ that will please your entire crowd. How can your band or DJ delight your parents without boring your friends? Or perform at a volume that will make your friends want to jump up and dance without blowing your parents and their friends out of the room?
Striking the perfect balance of wedding music to please everyone can be difficult, but if you do enough research you will be able to find seasoned professionals who are used to entertaining people of every generation and musical taste. Bands and DJs that are inexperienced can really miss the mark in this regard. It takes a number of years of playing “out in the field” to become adept at working with a crowd to see what works and what doesn’t.
You can start your planning by really digging into your research as to what songs and artists will please your parents. Everyone loves to dance to familiar tunes that bring back their high school days. Find out what songs were popular when they were growing up. It will make them feel young again and they will really appreciate your thoughtfulness at including “their music”.
If you spend some time listening to what your parents love to dance to, you will find songs that have broad appeal. These are the songs to request that your band or DJ play.
There are two good approaches to mixing in the “older music”. One way to do this is to start out the reception “European style”, with lighter and older music that is played at a lower volume. Show tunes, love songs, swing, big band music and oldies work well early in the night with this format. Older relatives are less shy than friends, so they usually love to get out on the floor early. Also, many of them have been to parties where “their music” has been left out or neglected, so that they will want to take advantage of a familiar favorite by getting up on the floor.
Later in the night, especially after dinner is completed, you can have your wedding band or DJ cut loose with the perfect mix of songs that you and your friends love. If you add in a ballad here and there, everyone will have a chance to catch their breath, and those who have been “sitting it out” will have another chance to get up and dance!
Another way to keep everyone happy is to mix things up all night long. As long as your band or DJ plays at a moderate volume, even the most upbeat music won’t be overbearing. If you can, seat your older relatives at tables farther away from your band or DJ’s speakers. Younger guests are less sensitive to volume and will object less to the higher levels of sound that will result from sitting in closer proximity to the sound system.
Be sure that any band that you consider has many years experience performing at wedding receptions and has an extensive song list. The more extensive the list is, the more likely you will be able to choose the right mix of songs for your crowd.
Don’t assume that your DJ will have all the songs that you want without letting him or her know your preferences well beforehand. Prepare your list and give it to your entertainers at least four weeks ahead of the party. In addition to requesting your favorite tunes, you can also mention which songs you do not want heard at your wedding reception. Clear communication with the bandleader or DJ is essential so that the appropriate music is played at your affair.
Your wedding day is your special day, but do not forget you are sharing it with many guests of various ages and musical tastes. With some careful planning and proper communication with your wedding entertainers, bridging the musical generation gap will become possible and significantly contribute to the success of your special day.ZZZZZZ
