Pay attention to details. Russian girls will accept a compliment only if it goes from your heart. Sincerity is very much appreciated by Russians, so you need to sound as frank as possible while complimenting a Russian girl. The surefire way to do so is to focus on small details rather than express your overall impression saying “You are so beautiful”. Just have a closer look at her and compliment her on the feature that makes her unique. It can be the color of her eyes, long hair, tattoo, etc.

Add a question. You can use compliments to start a conversation and to keep the ball rolling. For this, don’t just state what you think about girl’s looks but ask her a question about it. For example, if she is wearing an elegant necklace, compliment her on her good taste and mention how that necklace accentuates her eyes. This way, you’ll focus on a particular detail. Continue your compliment by asking where she found it or wondering whether it is handmade.

Compare. Switch on your creativity to think of a good compliment. The poets always compare their loved ones with something beautiful in their poems. You should follow this pattern and come up with an apt comparison. Being brought up on the best works of Russian literature Russian girls will appreciate your endeavors. Don’t go out of your way trying to invent something worthy. If she has blue eyes, compare their color with the ocean or deep sea.

Don’t focus on appearance only. It’s important to compliment women on their great looks but if all the compliments you pay during your first conversation concern girl’s appearance, she may think that you’re interested only in her body and that you’re a rather superficial person. There is a rule of three compliments that says you should compliment a girl on three different aspects: her looks, her character, and her passions/interests.

Comment and ask. Complimenting a Russian girl on her personality you’ll definitely win her heart. But how can you compliment her if you don’t know her yet? In terms of online dating, you always have her profile at hand so read it attentively. Since many men often skip the information women include in their profiles, you have an opportunity to stand out. If her profile says she likes traveling and wants to travel a lot with her future partner, write to her that you’re into traveling too and it’s a rarity to meet a woman who has the same passion as yours. If a woman didn’t include much information about herself, compliment her on her education or occupation and say why you admire it.

Even a simple “You are beautiful” will not sound so trite if you put its Russian equivalent – Ты красивая/Ty krasivaya.
