Is it an expensive way to find a partner using an agency to correspond with a Russian woman?

Be under no illusions, it is not cheap, but then again, probably no more expensive than if you were to date a woman from your own country and possibly less expensive than a woman from your own town

Dating Locally

You meet a woman that you like locally. To continue the relationship you will probably try to impress her, even if it's only a little. You take her out for drinks, to clubs, restaurants, cinema, theatre or wherever else you both like going. The frequency obviously depends on your lifestyles and finances, the more time you have and the more money you have at your disposal, the more you are likely to spend

Then there are the gifts. Flowers, cards, even jewelry and other things that take your fancy that you are sure she will like

You may even decide to go on vacation together. Another big expense depending on where you go

Oh, and don't forget the phone calls, fuel or transport cost to meet each other and taxi fares for when you have both had too much to drink

All of the above applies to a relationship with someone outside your locality but in the same country, but this time instead of going out so often because of the distance, you spend more time on the phone, have to pay for gift delivery, and when you do see each other, meeting costs much more no matter what mode of transport you use

Not as cheap as you probably first thought?

Now look at how much it would cost with your Russian woman over, say a 3 month period

Dating a Russian Woman

Using a typical Russian dating agency you can roughly work it out for yourself

Pressuming your lady cannot speak or read English or not very well, so you pay for letters to be translated and you both write each other once a week with a total of about 8kb (probably split 5kb for you and 3kb for her)

You decide to send her a bunch of flowers by hand delivery once a month

You send her a couple of photos of yourself and you request a set of 5 additional photos of her

You decide to purchase a trolleybus pass for her each month because you know that she will not accept financial help from you

Perhaps even a hamper or bottle of wine

Then when you both 'know' each other reasonably well, you decide to visit her in her home town. Find out the price of air travel to Moscow and train travel to Yoshkar-Ola, work out the cost of the rest of your vacation

Now compare it to what you would have spent at home. Surprised? And you would gain an experience and travel to somewhere you probably never dreamed of visiting. And visiting Russia is an experience you will never forget for many good reasons

Obviously your expenditure is for you to decide on and our comparison is only to used as an example
