Get lots of rest in the afternoon before the social. It’s going to be a long night. Dress in a sports coat and tie or a business suit. Casual Fridays have not caught on in Russia yet.

Bring pictures of yourself, your family, and photos that show your lifestyle, your home, and the area where you live. The women will love them and they will provide icebreakers in the conversation. They will also feel more comfortable with you.

Have a list of questions that you want to ask them. Don’t be afraid to be direct and to the point. You have minutes, not weeks, to get to know them. Bring a pen and small notebook to write down the names and phone numbers of the women you want to pursue after the social.

Yes, you want to be intuitive. Do you like the way she looks and carries herself? Do you feel comfortable with her? Is she interesting? Do you feel like you want to spend more time with her? Does she feel genuine? Does she seem attracted to you?

If you see the oversexed bombshell that you can’t wait to meet, and she is not on your profile list, go say hello if you are compelled. You don’t have to stay entirely with your profile list.

But you should at least try to meet the women on your profile list before you start talking to women at random. That will at least ensure that you have met some women you have a commonality with before you begin charming the disco queens, roller girls, university students, and lingerie models.

Say hello to everyone. Have fun. Just don’t forget why you are at the social.

Talk to each woman briefly. Get to know her. Look for some kind of personal connection between the two of you. Is she an interesting conversationalist? Does she have interesting hobbies or other characteristics that attract you? Would you like to spend more time with her? Would you like to get to know her better?

If so, make a note of her badge number and her name. You can arrange to meet her later after the social when you can spend more time with her.

A couple of tips on how to get an edge at the social. Find the owners of the local marriage agencies, or their representatives, that are at the social. They are usually mature men or women. They usually speak English fairly well. They are frequently surrounded by women from their agency that are accompanying them.

Ask Knowledgable Russian Women In Attendance For Recommendations.

Talk to them. Tell them a little about yourself. Who you are and what your are looking for. They know the women in their agency better than anyone and may be able to steer you to a woman in their agency who fits that description. Also, many of the tour companies have interpreters at the socials. If the interpreters or tour personnel have been with the tour company for a while or if they have been to socials from different companies, they may be familiar with some of the women that are attending.

Again, you can ask them who might fit your description of the women they know. Some of them may be reluctant to give that information, but you can always ask.

Bear in mind, many of the women attending the socials have been to more than one social from more than one tour company. Many of them have more experience at the socials than you do.

If you meet a woman that you are attracted to, you can talk to the tour personnel and ask them candidly if they know any reason why you would not want to get involved with her.

Listen carefully to their answers as people have their own presonal reasons for liking or disliking others. Sometimes they can be jealous or have a personality conflict with another woman. So take their comments in stride, but use all the resources available to you, including the other men in the tour.

Get their opinions of the women you are meeting. Listen to them. Evaluate their comments with your own judgement.

A Russian romance tour is a fantastic way to meet hundreds of singles face to face, who are there for one thing: to find husbands. Unlike brides by mail order, Russian romance tours practice is not offensive for local women.

They know that you have come all the way to their native country to meet the sweetheart of your life and start a relationship built not on dubious email offers but on real opinion and good impressions.

Many girls prefer this because in this case they have direct contact with men and can ask questions and rate them in real time. The rules are simple: you have bigger choice and meet dozens of girls in one short vacation and they have the comfort of staying at home and see you in real life.

Russian romance tours are often initiated by matchmaking agencies and prices depend on the length of your stay. There are regions where hotel accommodation is very expensive and others where the bed will cost you as much as a modest dinner in a western restaurant. Usually more than the half of the price is going for your airplane ticket to Russia but distance is big and this is inevitable.

I have met and spoken to many men asking them are these tours any good? Opinions vary but basically they were built on the expectations my friends had before reaching Russia.

Those who booked the tour just for the thrill, later said that they were surprised how many single women are in Russia and how sweet, cute, smart and lovely they are. Others who were relying on the tour believing that the love would immediately envelop them were disappointed indeed. In other words, such tours do not offer guarantees of lifetime romance. But that’s life anyway.

How actually does all this work?

Men book thir Russian romance tour in the matchmaking agency. They arrive at the hotel in Russia and dating starts from dinner. The local office of the agency arranges everything. They give badges to all the participants and this creates an ambiant and friendly mood around you. Russian names are unusual and very soon you will love the idea of seeing name-labels everywhere.

In meetings like this the proportion between male and female participants is one to ten. However you are there on a mission for love and you are welcome to walk around and personally get acquainted with everyone. You are free to exchange telephone numbers, mail addresses and any contact information that will help you keep in touch after you leave Russia.

It is good to have a small list of things that you consider important in a relationship and want to know about your future bride. This is important because the time is limited and there are just so many nice women – you will be spoilt for choice. Things that in a normal situation would take you hours here happen way faster.

At the end you have met so many pretty girls that your mind will be in overdrive. Don’t forget that looks eventually fade and hard as it is, try and focus on personality – that endures time.

The idea is to move fast, filter your dating prospects and be only with those who are meeting your interests and needs.

Do not lose hope. Love comes unexpectedly and maybe next spring you will fly back to Russia with your hot Russian bride sitting next to you, maybe waiting for you when you land!
