Anastasia Tours offer you a unique opportunity to meet a wide variety of quality ladies in a very short amount of time. 

We guarantee that there will be many ladies at the socials who will want to meet you. We are not just saying that in order to make a sale! It is true - read the experiences of our previous tour clients. Every one of them will tell you that the ladies they met on our tours are not only beautiful and educated, but friendly and receptive. 

The ladies attend the socials for one reason only - to meet you! And choosing whom you want to spend time with might become a difficult task. Therefore, it might be advisable to "do your homework" before you join us for the tour. Think about how you imagine your future family life and decide on things that are really important to you. May be you feel very strongly that you do not want any more children. Then it would be advisable to ask the lady about her feelings on that matter right away. If she feels she wants children - you should politely move on and meet somebody else.

"I just met her, I can't bring up such personal questions as having children" - you would say. But the great thing about Russian women is - you can ask any questions you want. The ladies are not at all shy about the fact that they have not found what they are looking for in Russia. They are open about their desires and what they are looking for in a man.

The worstpossible mistake you can make is getting attached to one lady too soon. Regardless of the fact that we warn all our tour clients about this, there is always one person on each tour who meets one lady at the first social and decides to stop searching. He never attends the rest of the socials, spending the next two days with this lady. Usually, in a couple of days he finds out that the lady is not in fact what he is looking for, but in the meantime he misses out on the rest of the socials - the greatest opportunity to meet other women. Please remember that the first lady you meet might be the nicest, friendliest, most beautiful woman you ever met, but she is NOT the only woman who wants to meet you! If you give other ladies a chance you will find out that they are just as charming, educated, attractive and might be more compatible with you. 
In other words - explore your options and definitely do not "put all your eggs in one basket". 

Be active -
Some men as soon as they enter our socials facility feel overwhelmed by the amount of pretty ladies looking forward to meeting them. Some gentlemen prefer to stay together and chat, waiting for the ladies to approach. This is probably the worst strategy you could choose. Cultural background makes a traditional Russian/Ukrainian woman comparatively passive - she may fall in love with a man at first sight, but will wait until he takes the initiative. Forget the American dating scene - your initiative will be rewarded. If the lady is seating with her friends, introduce yourself to all of them, but then, step by step, concentrate your attention on the particular lady that attracts you the most. Do not be shy to ask any questions you might have. The most common approach is to find out about her family, background, her occupation & hobbies. Give her a general idea of what your life is like. It is very convenient to have a photo album with you with photos of you, your pets, family, friends & perhaps your home town. If your conversation continues for a while it would be nice to offer her a drink. All our bartenders speak English.

Conversation - where do I start?
What are they expecting to be asked? How do I find out what she really wants? Introducing yourself is the most common way to initiate the conversation. Offering a lady a drink, or inviting her to dance can be great beginnings too. Ask her about her hobbies, family & background. Tell her about yourself. Once again, it would be nice to have a photo album with photos of your hometown. If you manage to create a calm, relaxed atmosphere you will usually find conversation developing on its' own. If you are shy, don't worry, just ask one of our interpreters to help you. All our interpreters are trained in maintaining a comfortable atmosphere between you and the lady. 
Do not be overly aggressive. We had some "goal-oriented" men on our tours who tried to ask the women they meet a pre-set number of questions. That approach only brings negative results. Making the lady feel like she is being interrogated, or applying for a job - it only creates an illusion that you save time and get all the answers fast. You actually loose time by tightening the conversation and not allowing the lady to behave naturally. Conversation is most efficient when it is enjoyable for both parties. Do not forget your sense of humor! It is also nice to show that you can be a real gentleman and can take care of a woman. Compliments have a great impact on most women and help them feel confident & behave naturally. 

Interpreters - 
Recently a lot of Russians (especially in larger cities) started to learn English. However there are still many women with poor-to-none English skills. For what to expect in each particular city check the "Attendance" section on city pages (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk). During the socials we will provide the interpreters for you at no charge. You can pick a personal interpreter to work with you during all three socials, or just use one when necessary. 
Remember that the interpreter can be a very valuable advisor. It is very easy for the interpreter to find out what the lady's real intentions are and how much she is interested in you. Feel free to ask your interpreter these questions. 
Also please remember that some of the interpreters are also interested in meeting men. Ask the lady if she feels comfortable with a particular interpreter you are using. If not - change the interpreter immediately.

Do not forget to make notes - 
After the socials are over it would be next to impossible to find "Irina, who came to the first social, she was 24 & had a red dress on". You have to have a notebook and a pen with you at all times & get the lady's information while she is still with you. There are a lot of similar names in Russia. To correctly identify a person you need to mark down certain traits that stand out in your mind. A great idea is to take a Polaroid photo of her & write her name & phone number on it. Also, you might consider bringing 20-30 photos of yourself with your address written on the back to give out to each lady you are interested in.

Look around and meet more women - 
Sometimes, after you meet several nice ladies you might feel that your "job is done for the day". We would like to encourage you to continue meeting more ladies. Just a few words may sometimes play a very significant role. You might suddenly feel impressed by a lady that stood somewhere in the background and then wonder why you did not notice her from the very beginning. 

How do I arrange a date?
Women you meet during the socials will usually give you their phone number & the best time to call. You can ask out Hospitality Center staff to call & make all the arrangements. If you do it on your own it is recommended that you meet her near the hotel entrance. It is natural for women in Russia/Ukraine to be a little late, so if she is 5-20 minutes late - do not consider it an insult, or a sign that she is not serious. Transportation in Russia/Ukraine is difficult & it is hard to tell how long will it take you to get from one place from another. 

Where do Russians like to go on dates?
You will be visiting the cities with rich culture & history & your dating options are virtually limitless: theaters, museums, restaurants, boat trips, walks, movies, etc. Many women are available for a daytime date and you can invite them to join you on one of our sightseeing tours. In the evenings our groups usually attend theater, circus, ballet performances. The performances are pre-selected to be the ones the ladies would enjoy. As to the restaurants, you can also leave the choice to her, but usually women don't know much about dining out - it is way too expensive for most of them. During our Orientation meeting we will provide you with a list of restaurants that have good food at reasonable prices.

Attitude - 
You can not be successful without the right attitude! Anastasia offers you a chance to meet hundreds of young, cultured, educated and breathtakingly beautiful women, but ultimately your success on the tour depends on you. It is important to understand that our business is not to create human relationships, but to provide you a fertile environment for creating these relationships for yourself. Anastasia tours provide the best opportunity in the world for single men like yourself, seeking a long term and happy partnership. But it is not simply a "market" where you could "choose" someone. It's more of a workshop, where you create relationships. Be patient and attentive and remember that to meet a real lady you have to measure up to the criteria of a real man. Russian women like confident, stable, reliable & mature men.
As to the practical side - we recommend that you follow this pattern: During the first 3-4 days meet as many women as possible. Enjoy their company and do not be aggressive. Do not put any pressure on yourself, or on your dates. Concentrate not just on the outer qualities of the ladies, but inner beauty too. Do not compete with other tour members - what's good for them would not necessarily be the best for you. During the last 5-6 days try to focus on the few ladies whom you like most. Do not spread your attention too much. Find out more about them - may be visit their families. Take your time & meet each lady several times. 

When you come on our tour, we will also devote a large part of our orientation meeting to discussing getting the best results out of our three Socials.
