41. If you have not received an answer for the second time, send a letter by airmail or courier mail - she could have lost her access to email (changed jobs, had other expenses and cannot afford Internet at the moment, her computer was stolen, etc).
42. When sending your letter by airmail, include a return envelope (so she does not make a mistake with the address) and an international coupon of post response (so she can answer you free for her - international coupons of post response are available from postal services).
43. If you did everything right, you will get some responses and will have a few correspondents. But be aware of Russian bride scam.
44. If you allow women to write you in Russian (and then translate their letters yourself), you will be able to see better who is more interested in you and who is more compatible with you. You can use either human or software translation to read women’s letters. You can find free software translators on the Internet.
45. Most women will be able to read your letters in English; if you want to offer her a treat, write a long letter once in a while and have it professionally translated to Russian: she will be looking forward to those letters.
46. When you think the woman feels comfortable with you, ask for her phone number and the best time to call. Talk for 10-15 minutes (if longer it will be difficult for her to concentrate), and speak very slowly and in simple phrases. Remember, it is more difficult to understand a person by phone than face to face. Talking on the phone will make your relationship more “real”. Phone is something that makes all Russian internet dating scams not what you should be afraid of.
47. Do not forget to congratulate your lady with her birthday, New Year, St. Valentine and Russian Women’s Day (8 March). You can send her flowers and/or candies through an international gift delivery service, or send a gift in the mail. Make sure that the gift is not taxable in Russia, or use the service that will pay the import tax and bill you (for example, UPS). The best gifts are flowers and candies (use gift delivery service); you can also send her a dress, something of gold or silver, or a toy for her kid (use courier delivery).
48. Chat, instant messenger and videoconferences are great ways to get to know each other better. Explain her how to use them and she will be delighted to talk to you “in real time”.
49. If you realize that some women are not what you are looking for, you should tell them about it and that you are going to stop the correspondence. Do NOT disappear without notice! It is very heartbreaking for a woman, and she will wonder for a long time what happened to you and if you are OK, worrying about you, isn’t fair. If you started correspondence, have the guts to end it decently. Think how you would feel if the person you fancy the most just stopped writing to you.
50. If you decide on one woman and want to stop corresponding with others, tell your lady-friend about it to assure her you are serious. Most women have multiple correspondents because they are not sure if any of them will ever visit her. According to statistics, only 5% of men who write to women ever make it to Russia. Show her you are ready to visit her, and she will be yours. (Read Tips 66-78 how to organize your meeting).
