DON'T TRAP YOURSELF   "EXPECTATION TRAP.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KEEP IN MIND

The vast majority of the male guests to my Website ask me in their emails to introduce them to "an attractive, honest and intelligent Russian woman." While there are hundreds of sites on the Internet where one can get addresses of women from Russia, there is no worthy consulting service, which could walk people through this very serious process.

For the last decade, Russian women have become extremely popular among foreign men. Many of them start correspondence through the Internet in hope to meet a beautiful lady from Russia. Though many matchmakers' companies advertise themselves with stories of success, nobody keeps any statistic regarding what happens to such international couples afterwards. The Happy End for us - observers to judge - is only a dozen wedding pictures published by some dating agencies in their catalogues. Meanwhile, there are a lot of men and women who have failed, and even got seriously scammed during their endeavors.

I do not want to discourage you. I wish that people looking for their partners abroad to be more careful and mature while they are pursuing their dreams. About 11 million people reside in only one Russian city - Moscow. They all are different as anywhere in the world. Why one should expect that every pretty Russian face should have a deep soul and a golden heart? Does anyone who is in this search possess all these qualities themselves?

So, what to do? First, be honest with yourself and your future partner. Do not try to be better than you really are. Do not promise things, which you are not able to give. Don't dissemble. If the only gift you can offer is your pure heart and a soul full of tenderness, do not let them slip into somebody's dirty hands. Secondly, be as smart in your search for your one and only as you are in any other areas of your life.
