Online dating with Russian women is the best way to get in touch with genuine women who want to find loving husbands outside the Russian borders. But with all its advantages like seeing profiles, emails and live chat on Loversplanet.com, it is the first call you make to the woman of your interest that makes all the difference. Here are a few pointers on how to use Russian in that first phone call and what to talk about to a Russian woman to make that most important first impression.

Greetings Exchanged on Your First Phone Call to a Russian Woman

• On the first exchange, it is best to be slightly formal even though you have been interacting online for quite some time. Unlike United States, formal tone in Russia is very important. Let the Russian woman take the lead when it comes to talking informally. However, you should lead the first conversation otherwise you will find yourself having to deal with uncomfortable silences.

• In the West, it is quite common to say “How are you?” as a greeting to a complete stranger. The Russian version, ” Kak pazhiVAYESH?” is only asked to people with whom you are quite familiar, so it is best avoided on a first phone call to a Russian woman. Again, try to be formal - this important because the woman expects you to be serious about your relationship and formality re-enforces your commitment, at least initially.

Phrases and Words on Your First Phone Call to a Russian Woman

Here’s what in our opinion you could talk about during your first phone call. You can try to speak Russian but don’t expect to be perfectly understood. Relax. Be calm - first conversation is always the hardest but remember - you are in the same boat with the lady, you are in the same team! It’s best to try to speak English and copy with a Russian phrases. Pause. Ask the lady if she understands you and make the conversation a great fun by trying to learn from each other and make sure you understand each other. Even if takes 10 minutes to get past the first sentence - it’s not about quantity, it’s about making your communication comfortable for both of you. Don’t expect your first phone call to be informative. You major goal is to remove any tension and feel that you are comfortable talking to each other despite cultural and language barriers.

To make your conversation comfortable you have to speak slowly. If a lady knows very little English you should use one sentence at a time. Use Skype to make cheap phone calls and not be worried about costs. With Skype it costs approx. $4.00 to talk for an hour! Do not try to provide to much information. Instead, pause after every sentence to remove any pressure from your conversation, ask if the lady understands you. If she doesn’t, try to work it out together. Even if you can’t work something out, make fun out of it and move on.

• The most important words of course are: “Da” which is “Yes”, and “Nyet” which means “No”.

• The next in importance are “SpaSEEBA”, which is “Thankyou” and ” EezveeNEEte” which mans “Sorry”.

A few phrases which will help you interact better with a Russian woman or the first time (capital letter = stress):

• ZdrAstvooyte = How do you do (formal)
• DObroye OOtro = Good morning
• DObreey VEcher = Good evening
• DObriy Den’ = Good afternoon

• Ya zvonyU iz AmEriki / Anglii / GermAnii = I am calling from America / England / Germany
• Ya plOho govoryU po RUsski = I speak poor Russian
• Ya Ochen’ vol-nOO-yus’ = I am very excited
• Ya bUdu govorIt’ myEdlenno = I will speak slowly

• Kak skazAt’ po rOOsskee … = How would you say in Russian …
• Kak skazAt’ po rOOsski “I like you” = How would you say “I like you” in Russian
• Ya vas ne poneemAyu, prosteeteh = I don’t understand you, forgive me (polite)
• No Eto normAl’no = but this is normal

• Mne Ochen’ ponrAveelees’ vAshee pEEs’mah = I liked your letters very much

Things to Do on Your First Phone Call to a Russian Woman (summary)

• Speak slowly.

• Do not get nervous. Create a relaxing environment around you, avoid distractions like television.

• Fix a time which is mutually convenient. Use skype to keep your costs low.

• Try and speak at least a few words of Russian. Pause after each sentence. Ask if the lady understands you.
• Make your conversation comfortable - play the learning game: “How do you say … in Russian”

A Russian woman would really appreciate the effort you put into your first phone call by learning Russian phrases and words. If there is something either of you don’t understand - it’s normal. You can say “neh vazhno” which means it’s not important. “Vazno chto est’ vee eeh ya” - it’s important there are you and I.

There is a piece of information for those who would like to get escort in Kiev. Scientists claim that several hundred years B. C. there was a worship of a Great Goddess. This Goddess had a great deal of different names. The most famous of them came from the Greek language ? Aphrodite and from Babylonian ? Ishtar. But in all states the worship of the Goddess demanded sexual rituals. Each lady that wanted to get married at those times was to undergo the procedure of defloration in the temple of the Goddess. Girls who had the first sexual contact outside the walls of the church were supposed to be cursed females.

In each church there was a special cult priestesses’ team and their activity was named ?Religious prostitution?. Such priestesses were supposed to be the part of the endless sexual Goddess. At that times their occupation was really prestige one. The families were very proud of their daughters if they became real priestesses of love.

Commonly, all the sexual ceremonies had some religious purpose. As an instance we can underline that there were organized the orgies before the army went to war. (more…)

MOSCOW- Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was feted by Russian media on Sunday for saving a television crew from an attack by a Siberian tiger in the wilds of the Far East.

Putin, taking a break from lambasting the West over Georgia, apparently saved the crew while on a trip to a national park to see how researchers monitor the tigers in the wild.

Just as Putin was arriving with a group of wildlife specialists to see a trapped Amur tiger, it escaped and ran towards a nearby camera crew, the country’s main television station said. Putin quickly shot the beast and sedated it with a tranquilizer gun.

“Vladimir Putin not only managed to see the giant predator up close but also saved our television crew too,” a presenter on Rossiya television said at the start of the main evening news.

The 55-year-old former KGB spy, who cultivated a macho image during his eight years as the Kremlin chief, was shown striding through the taiga in camouflage and desert boots before grappling with the feline foe.

He helped measure the Amur tiger’s incisors before placing a satellite transmitter around the neck of the beast, which can weigh up to 450 kg (1,000 lb) and measure around ten feet (three metres) from nose to the tip of the tail.

The Amur tiger, the world’s biggest wild cat, has recently pounced back from the brink of extinction to hit its highest population level for at least 100 years, the WWF said last year.

Putin thanked Western researchers for being involved in programmes to save the Amur tigers.

“First of all, we must thank our colleagues, Americans, European colleagues for being involved with this during a difficult time for Russia when no-one was paying any attention to this,” Putin said.

Putin last year made it into glossy magazines across the world by donning combat trousers and baring his muscular torso for photographers while on a fishing trip in the Yenisei river.

Sensitive to a growing environmental movement in Russia, Putin as president redrew a planned oil pipeline route to avoid Lake Baikal and scrapped plans for an Olympic village near Sochi that could have damaged local flora and fauna. (editing by Sami Aboudi)

I just thought this story was krazy as hell. Could you see GWB doing this? Them dudes would have been dead. You know, maybe we shouldn’t mess with these guys. I mean, we can’t even beat the little motherfuckers like Iraq or Vietnam. Or at the least, we should get some competent leadership.
