Dating can be a harrowing experience, especially if you are not as experienced as the person you are on a date with. When dating Ukraine men or women, and you are not from Ukraine yourself, it would be a good idea to try and find out more about their culture before going on the date. This way, you will feel more at ease about yourself and the actions that you are taking. You never know when one thing may be acceptable in your culture but offensive in another.
There are more different customs when it comes to dating Ukraine women than men. There are not many differences when it comes to dating Ukrainian men than men of other nationalities, except in the way that the man will treat you, seeing as there are many customs that men follow. When you meet a Ukrainian woman, for example, you should not try to shake her hand, as Ukrainian women do not shake hands because they consider it as a masculine act. If this woman is someone you are interested in romantically, then kissing her hand is a good way to impress her.
Also, while it is customary to bring flowers on a date, it is more important and symbolic when it comes to Ukrainian culture. A single red rose is customary for the first date, but if you are going to meet the woman’s mother you definitely need to bring her mother flowers as well. Make sure that you only give bouquets that have an odd number of flowers, as an even number means bad luck to them. Also, yellow roses are taken to mean that the end of the relationship is coming because your feelings have decreased.
When it comes to having dinner when dating Ukraine women, you need to be conscious about the alcohol. First off, you must always do the pouring of the wine or champagne. This is not necessarily a romantic thing but more of good table manners. And last but not the least, do not drink too much. Alcoholism is a common thing in Ukraine, and many Ukrainian women want men who are not alcoholics.
