One of the lesser known ' and not terribly well publicized ' aspects of the online dating world is the fact that tens of thousands of Western men are meeting, dating and in some cases even marrying hot Russian women via dating websites specifically catering to this growing segment of the online dating population. This isn't surprising when you think about it. The huge, one-size-fits-all mega-dating sites that you see advertised all over television and the internet would certainly prefer that customers not know about the other options that are out there. However, survey after survey shows that Russian dating sites that cater to helping Western men meet and get to know hot Russian women are one of the fastest growing segments of the online dating world, and this trend shows no signing of slowing anytime soon. Thanks to the successes that these sites have on an almost daily basis getting people together, their popularity is slowly but surely increasing and many articles and blogs are being written these days about what to look for in a Russian dating site.

But what about when you find the hot Russian dream-girl you have been looking for at one of these sites? Where do you go from there?

Typically, and always depending on what specific site you choose to use, an online relationship will start with the exchange of emails, and then move into live chat in chatrooms over the site. Once common interests ' and a mutual attraction ' have been established, video and voice chat will typically come next, always assuming that the Russian dating site you are working with offers these services (and if they don't, you might want to look into finding a site that does!)

Finally, after however many weeks or months it takes the two of you to feel completely comfortable together online, both you and the hot Russian woman that you have established an online relationship with will be ready to move things forward. This is a fun and exciting time for any relationship, but it is important that even as your excitement and anticipation grows, you remain sensible and make certain things proceed in a safe and orderly fashion. Here are a few things to keep in mind when getting ready to take that relationship to the next level.

• Continue to Abide by the Dating Site's Rules ' Most, if not all, legitimate Russian dating sites have "waiting periods" in place before they will release the personal information ' including email address and phone number ' of the women on their site, even after they have authorized them to do so. These waiting periods are a safety precaution both for the Russian women and the male customers of the site, and are in place to help cut down on scamming and other malicious activities. Both you and the hot Russian woman you are interested in agreed to this waiting period when you joined and, until it is up, your relationship should proceed exclusively through the site. Should the Russian woman suggest otherwise, or offer her information early, she might be a scammer, and should be reported to the site administration without delay.
• Flowers and Gift Giving ' Online or off, gift giving is a very large part of taking any relationship to the next level. Holidays, birthday or just because, flowers and gifts are a tangible way in which we let someone know that we are thinking of them, and that we care about them. They make our presence felt in a small way even if we cannot be there ourselves. One of the major challenges facing someone looking to give flowers or acceptable gifts to a hot woman living in the former Soviet Union is finding a reputable florist or shop to do business with from so far away. This is where the dating site you are doing business with should be able to help. All legitimate Russian dating sites will have approved venders that they can recommend to their customers for this sort of transaction. Rather than attempting to get it right on your own across different languages and thousands of miles, this is usually the best way to proceed.
• Remaining Cautious ' It is human nature when caught up in the excitement and fun of a relationship you think might be "the one" to let your guard down ' and to some extent, such as when discussing your deepest feelings and beliefs ' this should be done. However, while your contact with that special hot Russian woman is still completely and exclusively over the internet, you must be cautious with the less esoteric parts of your life. No matter how well you think you know her, never give debit, credit card or other financial information to your dream-girl (or anyone else) online. Also be cautious about giving any information that could be used by scammers for the purpose of identity theft. A good rule of thumb to adopt is that if the woman of your dreams asks for any financial information she is probably, in reality, the woman of your nightmares and should be reported to the dating service.
• Meeting ' Okay, so you have abided by the site's rules, gone about as far as you can reasonably go online, and you are almost certain that she is the one for you. It is time to meet. In most cases, for both security and economic reasons, it will be you who heads off to Russia (or some other former Soviet state) rather than the other way around. The good news is there has never been a safer time to travel to virtually all of the states of the former Soviet Union and, the better news is, due to the state of the worldwide economy, your money has never been worth more!

While experienced world travelers will no doubt be able to take care of all arrangements themselves, the rest of us are probably going to need some help. Again, this is where your choice of a Russian dating site can make all the difference. The highest quality Russian dating sites will be able to help with:

1. Travel arrangements ' including flights and ground transportation upon arrival at your destination.
2. Concierge Service ' These services will meet each member at the airport, as well as make arrangements and reservations for you and your guest, throughout the length of your stay.
3. Accommodations ' in one case, we know of a site (http://www.Dream-Marriage.com) that actually has apartments in all major cities that they will rent to their customers at rates far below those of four-star hotel rooms. If this doesn't happen to be the site you use, your site should at least be able to recommend affordable and safe accommodations.

Again, if the Russian dating service you are using doesn't offer these services, it might be time to look for one that does.

When all is said and done, the most important thing to remember when you think it is time to take your relationship with the hot Russian girl of your dreams to the next level is not to rush. Take your time, pay attention to the details, make certain that you are sure she is who you want, and let things progress naturally. While the internet is lightning fast, the human heart is almost never that way. The relationships that last ' whether it is with the girl next door, or with your dream-girl in Moscow ' are the relationships that are given the time to grow on their own.
