This issue will be interesting for every guy who is going to marry a Russian bride. Learn 5 most widespread mistakes westerners make with hot russian girls. The most significant in the first advice; others are of about the same value.
1. Giving her dollars. Do not send money to somebody who you just met via Internet. Remember that a sincere girl would not ask; she has enough pride. And then, she has lived for 20+ years without you. Why does she ask for your money now? Any former Soviet Union girl who asks you for currency is only trying to deceive you. A former Soviet Union woman does not even consider the two of you to be together until you have met in real life! Would you give cash to a girl from your country that you had just met? Remember about it. It is simply not smart and may bring you problems (and makes the girls consider it is simple and gives them reasons for the same behavior).
2. Not interrogating. You are looking for a wife, not someone to simply spend the time. Ukrainian women are honest (for the most part) and they deserve the proper respect. And one more thing, if you do not question to learn more about her, her dreams etc… she will soon figure out that you are not serious. Then she will dump you, or just will try to get the most out of you! If you are truly searching for a wife, you should be putting her a lot of questions! Not only ask all kinds of different questions, but put them several times in different ways, just to make sure if you get similar answers (a good way to protect yourself from a scam).
