Turn on the TV and flip over to the fashion channel. What's on right now? A runway show in Milan or New York? Did you know that a lot of the models you are looking at on the catwalks are Russian or Ukrainian? Russian women are beautiful so it is easy to understand the popularity with the fashion industry. And their interest in modelling is simple to figure out as well - their ability to earn as a runway model far outweighs any career back home.

So the question is, how do you as a mere mortal male, date Russian women?

You can meet your ideal partner on this site, but meeting a Russian woman might be as simple as going out to a club in New York. With many Eastern European girls moving abroad to further their career, that attractive redhead you happen to be watching at the bar might have a Russian accent. If you are the type of person that is completely lost for words when chatting to stunning women, here are some ideas to make you feel more comfortable..

Try Saying Hello

A beautiful woman is still just a normal person, and she wants to be treated as such. It's your own expectations of her that prevent you from putting two words together. Start treating her like any other person.

What do you say when you have not seen or spoken to a friend in a while? Things like … hello or it's good to see you? Why not treat her the same way. Why not try … hello, how are you today, or good afternoon.

You still risk rejection, but that is part of dating.. But a everyday greeting will come across as more genuine and relax you if you are nervous..

Start With The Basics

The most important skill you can learn when talking to women is to improvise in a conversation. The method is straightforward. Take an item from your immediate surroundings (don't be obvious about it) and build a flowing conversation around it.

Like any skill, the first time you try this out you will probably fail or feel awkard doing it. You will dedicate more time thinking about what to say than actually saying it. The key is to practice at it first. Rather than slotting it directly into your pickup women toolbox, practice it in everyday life first.

Start with the basics, and that is being comfortable with having a relaxed conversation with people you just met. The next time you are at the mall, say hi to the salesperson behind the cash register (don't feel creepy if it is a man - you are just working on communication here). Next, move up to the next step and add 'how are you' to build your comfort level in talking to strangers.

Now why am I telling you to practice your communication skills on everyday people? It is because these women will not reject you. After all, they are just there as part of everyday life. And if you don't fear rejection, you will not tense up leaving you to relax and practice your communication skills. Make sense?

Improvise

Once you are comfortable with talking to people you just met, it is time to move to the next lesson.. And that is picking something from your immediate surroundings and forming a conversation with it.

At first, it will be an awkward question that you will ask; something like "have you had the salad, I was thinking of trying it out". It will feel awkward because you are spending more time thinking about what to say regarding the salad and not being present in the conversation.

But this social stumbling will pass as you become relaxed with it. Practice at every chance you get so it becomes second nature. And who knows where even a practice conversation might lead. After all, women do like to talk if they are attracted to you.
