Today’s postcard is another short story from Russia:
“My first date and kiss happened July 19, 2015. It was like a holiday romance. My birthday on January 19 and bday of my partner’s – 19 February! I met him, riding a horse! He worked there as an instructor and I love nature and animals. He rolled me in the coach like a princess and then called to meet and take a walk! I wish you a wonderful day!”

Today’s postcard shares a cute little story from a woman in Russia.
“Last summer I had a really fantastic date that has changed my life completely… I had a date with a man who I hadn’t never seen before this day. For this date I travelled 3000 km by train and we met in a small Russian town and spent there 3 weeks together. And now, I’m writing this card and he is sleeping on the sofa next to me. We decided to get married.”

In the past I’ve used Postcrossing.comĀ Ā to swap postcards with random people all over the world, just for fun. Now I’m using it to find out a little more about the dating culture around the world.
On the incoming postcards, I’ve requested that the senders share anything they want about dating.
On the outgoing postcards I’m conducting a very short survey:
I sent out a small batch of postcards not too long ago and the responses are slowly trickling in. It’ll take awhile until I’ve had enough survey responses to share the results, but I’ll share any dating stories as they come in.
I’m excited to see how this turns out! Do any of you readers have ideas for questions about the dating culture in other countries?
