DATING TIPS
How to Impress a Ukrainian on your First Date
Almost everyone has been on a bad first date. Every once in a while, we get nervous and somehow end up making a mistake. It can be a fun story to listen to at parties — but not when you’re on the receiving end.
To other Ukrainians, it might seem endearing and maybe even adorable. But doing it one too many times can also turn them off.
So what does it take to impress a Ukrainian on a first date and NOT blunder?
You don’t have to have devilishly good looks or be well-off too. All you need are these basics: decent manners and personality. If you’ve got that down already, you’re ready to get your game on and learn more.
Here are some ways you can sweep a Ukrainian off her feet:
Dress to Impress
There’s more to grooming than just basic hygiene. A good fit is also important.
Looking well-groomed conveys the ability to take care of yourself. Your date might think along the lines of “He looks after himself well” or “He has his life together”.
Your fashion choices often reflect who you are as a person. There’s nothing wrong with going casual or all out on a date. As long as it’s well put together, you’re good enough.
Your clothes are an extension of who you are as a person. The better the look, the higher the chances of leaving her impressed.
Shoulder the Bill
In western culture, a man paying the full bill is no longer a common practice. This is not the case in Ukraine. Going Dutch is almost unheard of when Ukrainian women go out on a date. In true traditional Ukrainian style, it’s recommended that you shoulder the bill.
You are also showing financial responsibility by paying for everything. Ladies love a man who can provide and protect them. This builds a very strong foundation for a relationship and a future household.
Be confident
Confidence can be silent. It does not need to prove itself in the face of others. It’s own validation is more than enough to keep one secure.
Having solid self-esteem can immensely help you in impressing a woman. Being wishy-washy can be a deal-breaker for a traditional-minded Ukrainian. If you need no assurance to prove that you are dating material, then you’re probably ready to go out on a date with one.
Active Listening is the Key
Take the time to learn about what interests your date. It’s easier to keep the conversation going when you ask probing questions. This can also send a cue to your date that you are genuinely interested in her.
Always actively listen to what she is saying. Avoid interrupting her. If you unintentionally do, apologize and allow her to continue. Once you give her your undivided attention, she will do the same for you as well.
