You've passed every step. Your profile is impeccable, your photos are professional quality, and you've finally obtained the contact information for Tatiana, that Ukrainian woman who has made your heart beat faster for several weeks. You're ready to write her your first personal letter... and this is precisely the moment when everything can fall apart.
My name is Antoine Monnier, founder of the CQMI agency, and after years of helping Western men in their search for a Slavic wife, I can tell you one thing: the mistake I'm about to describe is the most devastating of all. It's irreversible. None of our clients has ever managed to recover from it.
Long-distance communication: a path full of pitfalls
Before getting to the heart of the matter, let's set the context. Long-distance communication with a Ukrainian woman represents the most difficult challenge in the entire international dating process. Why? Because you don't share the same culture, the same roots, the same cultural references, and obviously, you don't speak the same language.
Every word counts. Every sentence is scrutinized. And in this context where the slightest nuance can be misinterpreted, a simple moment of inattention can destroy weeks of effort.
Communicating with several women: a smart strategy
At our agency, and I'm the first to recommend it, it's wise to communicate with several Ukrainian women in parallel. Not out of lack of seriousness, but out of pragmatism. This approach prevents you from falling into confirmation bias by focusing on a single correspondent. Comparing multiple exchanges allows you to better understand with whom you truly have the most affinity.
Now, should you tell your Russian or Ukrainian correspondent that you're simultaneously exchanging with other women?
Absolutely not.
Men who make this mistake remember it for a long time: they receive an immediate end to communication. These women are not looking for a one-night stand. They're looking for a husband, a life partner, a lasting union. Telling them that you're "testing" several options is like telling them they're just a number among others.
"But Antoine, I don't want to lie..."
In that case, you can restrict yourself to one communication at a time, but don't be surprised if your relationship project takes many long years to materialize. Discretion is not a lie, it's respect.
But this is not the mistake I want to talk about today.
The fatal mistake: mixing up names
Here's the catastrophic scenario we regularly observe:
You're in communication with Tatiana. You sit down at your computer, light-hearted, ready to write her a beautiful letter. You begin like this:
"My dear Olga, I missed you all day long, and I've been thinking about what I wanted to share with you..."
The problem?
Tatiana's name is not Olga.
What happens in Tatiana's mind
When Tatiana reads this first sentence, her mind immediately races. She imagines that a certain Olga exists somewhere, that you spent the day thinking about this Olga, and that you mistakenly sent her a letter that wasn't meant for her.
In a split second, she feels:
- Deceived
- Humiliated
- Considered interchangeable
Don't even try to explain yourself. Don't try to shower her with apologies. It's OVER.
Your adventure with Tatiana will stop right there. None of our clients has ever managed to get out of this hole. We can put in every possible effort, make indirect and direct interventions with the woman, she will not change her mind.
Put yourself in her shoes
Imagine for a moment that Tatiana writes to you:
"Dear Michael, I can't wait to see you again..."
...when your name is Paul.
How would you interpret this confusion? Would you be ready to forgive her? To believe her explanations? Probably not. And Ukrainian women, who invest enormously in these correspondences emotionally and who are looking for a serious lifelong commitment, are even less inclined to let it slide.
The solution: proofread, proofread, proofread
Preventing this catastrophic mistake comes down to a few simple rules:
- Never send a letter without rereading it 2 or 3 times
- Write only when your mind is rested – not after a long day at work, not after a few drinks
- Systematically check the first name in the greeting AND in the body of the text
- If you're communicating with several women, use separate windows or tabs to avoid any confusion
A single word can have fatal consequences. In long-distance intercultural communication, where every message is carefully analyzed, the slightest negligence can destroy weeks, even months of relationship building.
These women are looking for a husband, not an adventure
It's essential to understand that Ukrainian women and Russian women registered with our agency are not looking for a fleeting relationship. They want marriage, a stable union, a partner with whom to build a family life.
If you're not ready to commit seriously, if you consider this process as mere entertainment, you're wasting your time – and theirs. These women deserve respect, and that respect begins with the attention you pay to every detail of your communication with them.
