The web is crowded with offers for friendship, dating or building of networks of people with the same interests. How can you find your right Russian dating agency?

The first rule in this search is to stop for a while and ask yourself honestly what kind of relationship you want. There are people with various interests and many agencies specialized in specific nationalities or preferred activities and hobbies.

The usual practice is to ask you for certain amount of money to list you into their catalogues which later they offer to women who are looking for best match abroad. Their services often come as a package of registrations, translations, consulting in different areas or defined number of free mails to potential dates. From time to time but not too often they launch promotional subscriptions. Prices vary but are not always criteria for the quality of the assistance that you can get.

The easiest way to find a Russian dating agency is to search for it on the net. Almost all of them have multilingual websites with information in English, German, French and even some more rare languages such as Arabic. Their usability sometimes is confusing as you navigate the seas of flashy banners offering flower delivery and every other kind of service. If you just let them pass you can focus on the content itself.

Many websites offer free registration for a trial period which is good because it is giving you chance to check the registered profiles and decide whether you are interested or not. This limited time is also limiting some possibilities in the communication. If you have planned to cheat the system and send your direct mail address in the note to the girl you just met online, most probably she will get it filtered, or would not get it at all. In addition from the female point of view, men who have not paid for using the system often seem unserious and undesirable dating partners.

Be careful when you send money to your Russian dating agency. Risks of frauds exist especially when you are asked for your credit card information. There are criminal networks, notorious with their bank misrepresentations. Often they pretend to be matchmakers and use software behind mock up websites, helping them steal information and money from you. Our advice is before making any payment, to check internet forums for information on this agent. If there is at least one comment mentioning fraud, you would better stay away.

Of course there are honest parties too and the fact that so many women left Russia over the years is proving that they are good at their job and manage to get together the perfect matches. They will tell you not only whose profile matches better to your search but also how to behave in order to prevent the cultural shock and how to communicate in order to understand each other better and not to offend your future bride with a silly remark.

The conclusion is that if you have decided to try the services of a Russian dating agency, it is best to research well - before deciding which you will trust.
