If there’s one thing that can ruin a first chat and ensure a Russian woman’s first impression of you is a bad one, it’s crappy Conversation. You need ice breakers, light-hearted queries, questions that provoke banter, laughter, and thought, as well as questions that dig a bit deeper and go beyond the superficial. To save you from endless awkward silences, we’ve compiled a list of 10 witty online Conversation Starters she will love. 

1. If you could hop on a plane right now, where would you go?

Who doesn’t love to travel? Hermits, that’s who. If she hates planes, road trips, or has no desire to leave her Russian hometown ever, that’s a good indicator of her ambitions and desires (or lack thereof). Otherwise, the question will excite her and you’ll learn what’s most appealing to her. It promotes a good back and forth between the two of you.

2. What’s something I wouldn’t guess about you?

This is a great ice-breaker because it’s a little mischievous and flirtatious. It’s a sign you’d like to know her beyond surface level, while still giving her the freedom to reveal what she wants to share—and doesn’t.

3. What are you most passionate about?

This question lets you get a sense of what she feels strongly about and whether she’s spirited and heartfelt. It’s also the perfect way to gauge whether her level of passion is compatible with yours.

4. What’s your dream job?

This is a great question because a dream job merges meaning, passion and lifestyle. Better yet, her reason will be incredibly telling. Is it the money, the impact, the enjoyment? Each of these explanations reveals something about her character.

5. What sort of things make you laugh out loud?

If things get a bit awkward or serious during your first online conversation, divert to a carefree topic. Everyone loves to laugh, and talking about the things that make you both fall into a fit—cheesy pickup lines, dad jokes, a particular YouTube flick—gets the conversation going and both of you laughing. Lots of laughter during your first chat is a great sign.

6. What do you love most about living in Russia?

This question rocks whether she’s new to a particular city in her country or she’s lived there for years. You get to talk about the local places she likes, her favorite types of food and some of the top places to visit in Russia. Many second date ideas can be born from this question.

7. Who do you talk to the most?

You’ll learn about the people closest to her in life. Good: You can see if she has a tight bond with her parents or siblings. Bad: You can see if she’s still hung up on an ex. The five people we’re around the most, shape us the most; her relationship to any one of her closest friends and family members tell you a lot about her.

8. What did you do last weekend?

If you’re going to be compatible with a woman, you need to have common habits and hobbies. Ask her how she spends her free time in Russia! From this, you get a sense of whether she enjoys relaxing or letting loose when she’s away from work.

9. If you were stranded on an island and could only take three things with you, what would they be?

Catching her off guard is a good thing so long as your intentions are innocent and playful. Despite the quirkiness of this question, you’ll find out what’s most valuable to her and the significance of those items.

10. Where can you see yourself living?

This question is more revealing than you think. If her dream is to move to the states in the near future, the real chances of a long-term relationship (or potential marriage) just went way up. This will let you know if she’s simply online dating for casual conversation or looking to find a serious companion abroad. Start with this or any of these witty online conversation starters and you’ll be on your way to dating success.
