Apr 01, 2023 When it comes to dating, it’s not surprising that Russians have a lot of superstitions also in Russian dating culture.

Continue reading to know Russian dating superstitions to get to know more about the culture of Russian women.
Wearing And Taking Off Rings
In Russian dating, don’t be surprised if you don’t see your date wear a ring on their ring finger. That’s because it’s believed that Russian women won’t be able to walk down the aisle if they wear a ring on this finger during dating. Also, men will assume that she’s not open to dating.
Another superstition Russians have about wearing rings is that they shouldn’t take their wedding rings off and show them to random people. While westerners have no issue showing it to others who want to see it and see it as a harmless thing, this is undesirable for men and women in Russia. That’s because taking off the ring means throwing love and happiness away.
Giving Flowers
It’s always a good move to give flowers when you have a date with a Russian woman. But, there are some things you have to remember before giving her flowers.
First, you better not get her yellow flowers. A Russian superstition says that giving yellow flowers to a date means the relationship will be short-lived due to a major disagreement.
Also, you have to give flowers in odd numbers. This applies in dating, but for funerals, giving flowers in even numbers is appropriate.
Sitting At The Dinner Table
When going out with a Russian woman you met on Russian dating sites, one of the superstitions you have to know is that they shouldn’t sit at the corner of the table. It’s believed that a Russian lady wouldn’t be able to meet her Prince Charming for at least 7 years if she does this.
Stepping On Her Foot And The Length Of Toes
You shouldn’t find it strange when your Russian date steps on your foot if you accidentally step on her foot. There’s a superstition that says that if she doesn’t step on your foot after you step on hers accidentally, you’ll end up having a big argument or fight.
There’s also a belief that the one with the longer second toe than the big toe will be the one to be in control of the relationship.
The Month of May
When you meet Russian women, it’s good to know that they have many superstitions for the month of May.
It’s believed that lovers will be in danger if someone celebrates their milestone such as anniversary in this month. The reason for this is that May in Russian is Mai. Mai is one of the syllables in the Russian word “mayatsya” which means to suffer.
Although it’s extremely cold in February, they opt to have their wedding this month rather than in May.
Getting Baptized
A single Russian woman should now have a female as her first godchild. That’s because the superstition says that the baby will take away the happiness of this woman. But, doing this is acceptable if she already has a godson.
Wearing Skirts
When your Russian date tells you that she was told to wear a skirt over her head, you have to believe her. Their superstition says that if they step inside their skirt or pull it up to their legs, their significant other will be disloyal to them.
Sweeping
Russian girls must sweep starting from the winds and then towards the door. They also have to make sure there’s no dirt left. Also, the direction of their sweeping should be toward them. If they sweep away, they believe that the same thing will happen to their suitors.
Having Exactly the Same Names
Almost every Russian woman you meet is named Masha or Sofia, making it appear as if there are only ten girl names in Russia. Luckily, it is thought that meeting people with the same name brings good fortune. Elders even advise making a wish if you find yourself seated alongside two individuals who share a name.
Conclusion
You finally understand some of the Russian dating superstitions and how they can be helpful for you when you go on a date with a Russian lady. Not only are Russians known for their good appearances but also for their culture. One of the things that make their culture beautiful is their superstitions. Though you might find some a little strange, it’s very good to know these when you meet them. You wouldn’t want to offend your Russian date in any way, right?
