Reliable Dating Services

Where to look for a Russian wife

Every couple of days I used to receive a question about reliable services I could recommend.

Of course the best thing I could recommend is my service, here I know what's going on and how. It does work, very effective and fast, and I believe I provide good value for money (at least my clients think so :-). It provides lots of different options, and you can choose whatever suits you the best - contacting women first, or being contacted by women who are interested in you, for more information on which option will fit you the best please click here.

Still, you probably cannot find what you are looking for in my agency, and wish to know where else you can look for. Well, here it is - the list of reliable dating agencies introducing Russian women for marriage.

There are hundreds of marriage and dating agencies on the Net. No one is able to be aware of all of them. So there just a few names on this list - but the ones that deliver.

PLEASE NOTE: I have nothing to do with those agencies: I do not work through them; they do not work for me. They are businesses on their own. (Even though I personally know the owners - but it is just like in any industry, people who successfully work in the market for a long time tend to know each other!)

A word of wisdom. When you try to save couple of bucks using free services, you may plug yourself into huge material and emotional investments done for nothing. Choose well established services - after all, you are looking for no less than a rewarding family life and life time happiness...

PLEASE NOTE: I express here MY PERSONAL OPINION only.

Quotes from visitors:

I first went to Russia on Business about three years ago. I then went on a tour to St. Petersburg with A Foreign Affair and had a wonderful time.
I noticed your high reviews for A Foreign Affair. They are a special group of people who really want the experience to be great.

Steve Zeigler (USA)

I went to St. Petersburg, Russia with A Foreign Affair two years ago. Seven months later, I was married to Elena Ananieva Fender. We celebrated our first wedding anniversary this past May and I have never been happier in my life. I am still in the process of falling in love with my wife and I plan to continue this "adventure" for many more years to come.

Helene International

Method of work: membership

On the market since 1998. Run by a Russian couple living abroad. They have an office in Saint-Petersburg and representatives in USA, France and UK. This one seem to be a relatively small agency but there is a reason for that: they do not keep in the database profiles of women who have not updated their ads for more than 3 months. The database never exceeds 250-300 members but they make their point to make sure all of them are available by keeping permanent contact will all the women and removing outdated ads. 30-50 new profiles are added every month (and almost the same quantity is removed).

UPS:

They use long ladies letters instead of questionnaires (which can be also one of the "downs" if you are in a hurry and just want to "scan" profiles quickly).
Multilingual support (English, French, Spanish).
All women have access to the Internet, and most have their own personal email addresses.
They supply the date of posting for the profiles.
Really serious, committed and honest ladies.
Access to the whole database for the fixed price: you do not have to pay every time for new addresses.
VERY reasonable membership fee.

DOWNS:

If your search is very specific (i.e. a small medical lady with long, blond, curly hair and green eyes not taller than 5'2', aged 25-30, without children), most likely you will be out of luck to find her there.
They do not provide additional services as flowers or gift delivery, tours etc.

Services and prices:

1 year membership (access to addresses of all existing and future female members) for one-time, non-recurring fee of only $49.95
Translation (English, French, Spanish): $10 per page.
E-mail forwarding: $3 per letter

Short tips

Do not forget to send a letter via regular mail when you send first email message, if you have lady's postal address. You may need the lady having a hard copy of your letters for visa purposes.
Do not forget to ask a lady to give you her real postal address and phone number in the first letter, if you only can contact her via email.
ALWAYS tell the lady you are REALLY interested in serious relationship with her and don't write to her to just play around.
If she does not answer, don't hesitate to send a letter again with a note that you are worrying why she does not respond. Say again that you are interested in her and ask her to respond anyway, just to let you know. Provide a prepaid envelope when send letters by mail.
Think ahead that you will need to visit your lady, and don't forget that Russia is the largest country in the world. Choose ladies, who live not far from each other, if you plan to see a few.
As a rule, avoid ladies who start openly talking about their feelings and fall in love with you within a few letters: Russian ladies are very shy in expressing their feelings in words. She might say that she likes you and happy to hear from you, but won't profess undying love after 2 weeks of correspondence.
When found your One and Only, don't hesitate to let her know about that as soon as possible, and make sure she feels the same.
