| 1. Where do I start? |
| We have Women's Catalogue in our site made of women who came to our offices in Ukraine and Moldova and registered in person. So you won't have doubts whether the women you have chosen for correspondence is real or not. Every woman has her own profile and a couple of pictures. All that information is available for free. You don't have to register to see this information. Usually men choose a woman or two to start correspondence. We give men the opportunity of writing and receiving first FREE letters. All of them will be translated for free. In this way men will get the feeling for our translation service and won't waist money on the women who are not interested in them. Another option for men is to place their picture and profile in our Men's Catalogue, so they won't have to try their chances but will receive the letters from the women who are interested in them straight away. We do not charge our women a penny therefore men paying for translation service for both. |
| 2. How many ladies should I write to at once? |
| Internet dating gives us possibility to expand our love search and not to limit ourselves by distance. You are looking for a life- time partner through correspondence; understand that you may not find the right person straight away. Therefore nobody will expect you to correspond with one lady, until the correspondence becomes more serious. Some men tell me that they are one-woman men and feel like they are cheating if they correspond with more than one lady at a time. I understand the feeling, but imaging you correspond for 4-6 months and after you are taking a trip to the country where a lady lives you discover there is no chemistry between you. You meet the lady who's letters you absolutely love everything she wrote, when you meet in person you realise your personalities just don't match. So you have another several days, but no one else to meet. Should you corresponded with several ladies at the same time you would have a better chance of meeting the right lady, and would be sure about the choice you have made. Of course it is always best to be honest and tell each lady that you are interested in her, but also writing to another lady. When you do travel to Lugansk, you may meet the one you believe you had the best connection with over phone calls and letters, but also arrange to meet the second lady you are writing too. If the first lady is everything you dreamed of, meet the second lady out of courtesy, but tell her you have found your love. In this way you maximize the chances your trip will be the best decision of your life! |
| 3. How do I know if the lady is available? |
| All the ladies displayed on our site are available for correspondence and are seriously seeking for a marriage. If the lady becomes unavailable we put one of the following signs on her profile: "committed", "engaged" or her picture is moved to the page with "Happy Couples" along with the picture of the man she has found. |
| 4. How do I send a letter to a lady? |
| As you may know it's quite important to be able to understand the other person completely, especially if you have never met but fancy each other. That might be a trouble if you speak different language. You may decide to use online computer translation program, but is it that accurate? Unfortunately- it's not! We give you the option of the FIRST 2 FREE letters to get the possibility to get to know the women a bit better before you decide if you want to pay and continue correspondence and to get a feeling for the quality of the translation service we provide. You don't want to lose women's interest on the first letters when the first and the most important impression is made just because of misunderstanding due to the bad translation! Therefore you might send the letter in postal way. Regular mail sent to Eastern Europe usually takes 2-4 weeks to arrive, if it arrives at all! Often, mail with a Western postmark is stolen. We at Lugan-Girl offer e-mail and translation service that literally guaranties your letters will reach your girl, often the same day you sent it! When you send your e-mail letter to your girl, we call your girl to notify her of your letter. When she arrives at our offices, we print it out for her and she can pick it up right a way! |
| 5. How to phone a lady? |
| Sometimes you may have such feeling that you are corresponding not with a real, true, live, sweet lady, but with a kind of "virtual" person. One of the best ways to dispel your illusions and to prove yourself that she is real is simply to call her and hear her real voice. Before phoning, please take into account the time difference (Ukraine is 2 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time). Also find out if she knows English so she could speak and understand you. Many Ukrainian ladies do not speak English good enough or do not speak English at all. In this case you can use our on-line translation service. Just order our pre-arranged phone call service and agree the suitable time for a call for you both. You will be able to call our office and our interpreter will help with translation. |
| 6. Is it possible for me to email a photo to a woman? |
| You are welcome to send your photos along with your letter and to receive photos from ladies as well. But you will have to pay $1 for each picture girl send you, as we have to scan those pictures first. |
| 7. Can I get the contact information of the girl I'm interested in? |
| It's not one of our primary services, as we prefer to provide men with all the assistance he needs during correspondence, though you can purchase the contact information at any time. It costs $20 |
| 8. Are the addresses in English and Cyrillic and how will you send them to me? |
| We send addresses by e-mail. Addresses are written in English. The post works well with not only Cyrillic - any letters with addresses, written in English arrive to addressee. If you want to get girls' addresses written in Cyrillic, we will send it to you by e-mail as well, of course, without any additional charges. |
| 9. How can I meet the lady I'm interested in? |
| A Marriage Agency provides the individual introduction service for the men in order to meet the ladies. You may come at any suitable for you time and to meet any ladies of the gallery. All of them live in the cities where we have representative who will be able to assist you during your trip. We help to organise both meetings with pre-selected number of women as well as we will provide you with accommodation, translation service, driver, excursions, etc |
| 10. There are a lot of free dating services, why should I pay you for e-mail exchanging with the person I never met. Corresponding with a Russian woman is just a scam to make me send her money? |
| Your risk to be scammed by a woman advertising herself at a free site is huge. We are a legitimate and professional agency and always screen the ladies. If there are strong proofs that a lady is dishonest, we remove her immediately. Anyway you won't get a wife for nothing. If you prefer to correspond with ladies in order to establish an effective contact before visiting them, you must also be ready for some expenses. Probably, you would like to send a gift to your lady, or a book about your city/country. But we strongly do not recommend men to send money to a lady herself. |
| 11. I am 53, does this matter? |
| No, it is not a problem, if only you are not looking for a young wife. In Ukraine the marriages with great age disparity are not accustomed. You might find ladies who won't mind age difference between 10-15 years, but you do have to be realistic. So if you don't want to find a girl who will use you as a transport for crossing the border, then look for a woman with relatively normal age difference! Start your search beginning at least from 30 years old women! These women look well and have an idea of family life and wisdom. They are unpretentious and can do a lot about the house. Finally they are closer to you inside world, than misunderstanding will not cloud 20 years old ones and your family life. So, age is not a handicap, if you are wise enough in the choice of your life soul mate. |
| 12. Is language a Barrier? |
| Language should not be a barrier. Most Russian and Ukrainian women interested in meeting Western men will already speak or be making an effort to learn English at least. With all languages spoken words are generally easier to master than written and so some translation might be helpful in the early stages. We also provide English courses for those ladies who do want to improve their English skills. Men can order those courses at reasonable price at any time. Most of our customers who have used this service are very grateful and find it very useful. http://www.lugan-girls.com/payment/login/english.asp |
| 13. Why should I look for a Ukrainian wife, are they any different from the women in my country? |
| Women from Eastern Europe are no different to women in the rest of the world although the culture in which they have been raised has stronger family values. The women of the former Soviet Union are very well educated, and in countries that have been slow to promote gender equality women are the silent backbone of society; strong enough to face adversity with a smile and wise enough to allow men to think they are making all the decisions! Relationships with Russian women have some minuses and a lot of plus's. Every minus tends to have a plus: For example - If she moves to join you she will be long way from her blood relative, but think how far way the Mother in Law will be :-) ! Sure, there will be issues like overcoming language barriers, but you will more often than not find this will become a source of mutual amusement and have fun learning - together. You will find yourself learning a whole new culture, the simple question - "Where did you go to school?" will be extended to "What are your schools like? What subjects did you study? How were you graded? How do you choose a career? " All this because different cultures work uniquely - but curiosity and desire for love are common to all human beings. |
| 14. How and when do I pay? |
| Ladies membership is free. Gentlemen pay nothing for the first 2 letters. They will be translated and delivered both ways. If you choose to become a full member or buy any other services we accept Credit /Debit cards (most cards are accepted) online through our secure server operated by PayPal. |
| 15. What gifts are appropriate? |
| You can give flowers, toys, perfumery, cakes, food baskets and candies to your woman. You should give only odd numbers of flowers (1,3,5,7 etc.) as even numbers are given only at funerals here. It is not recommended to give a monetary gift to your lady until you meet her in person. Money spoil women! |
| 16. I would like to know why women from your web page can be found on the web pages of other agencies? |
| Our agency works directly with the ladies. Besides, women from our Gallery are independently from any other agency. We do not sell or publish ladies information under any circumstances. |
| 17. What are the three biggest mistakes most men make? |
| They write to too few women, they send poor quality photos, and badly written letters to beautiful educated women and then are disappointed when they get few replies to their letters! If you want to attract high quality women then you must show them that you too are intelligent. Please take the time and expense to send these women a professional photo taken of yourself if at all possible and you will not be disappointed in the results. |
| 18. I want to make a good impression with my first letter to a lady I like, but I am not sure what should I write in this letter to somebody I don't even know yet. |
| If you want to make an impression as a man with serious intensions, include your full name and date of birth, height and weight, your occupation, marital status, children (if any) in your first letter. Don't write how perfect you are and what material things you have in life, just write why you chose precisely this woman, and why you want to know better exactly her. Include your picture of good quality, where it's possible to see your face. We emphasize that better for you to include a picture. It means just as much for her as for you. Please avoid sending half naked pictures with the first letter - it makes very bad impression. |

| 21. Is it safe to pay by a credit card? |
| Yes. It is not our agency who handles the money transfers through the credit cards - it is an independent and a well-known USA company "PayPal" (www.paypal.com).
