Last year when signed up for Anastasiadate's services I didn't have much hope of finding the one. I was random throwing money at dating sites for the mere chance of chatting. And the random girls I chatted with never lasted long, even when she was interested I stepped back. I was afraid of commitment I guess, or too much of a romantic for the sharky seas of online dating. However, anastasiadate is a little bit better, it has warmer ambient and after few weeks I started chatting almost only on anastasiadate's videochats. There I met a beautiful woman. We are still dating. I have a feeling she could be the one. So don't lose hope

A good friend of mine moved to Russia for business couple of years ago. I've heard russian girls are pretty, who hasn't, but I didn't know any russians at this point. Then he got russian friends and stuff and started telling me about them and he was surprised and amazed more than I was while listening to these stories. I was like Whoa, whoa, wait what! He told about their culture, their people, their social events, parties and stuff. Sounded like a cold heaven, hahah. Then he recommended me this site Anastasiadate.com. From what I know he was using it on and off long before moving to Russia. Few weeks after moving he started hanging out with this girl. They met on this site but only got to a certain point because my friend couldn't afford flying to Russia or to keep paying for dating at this point. So when he moved there they decided to give it a go. After few months I signed up too, just in case, you know. And tell you what, I'm not sorry for any single buck I've paid. My friend is marrying his beautiful girl Katya next month. And I met someone too. I have been in Russia 3 times so far to meet her and it's going real good between us. So listen to me guys, russian girls are worth it. They are even more beautiful and intelligent than anyone knows and I'm glad I got in this. If I had to do it again, I would. Listen to me, if there is even the slightest chance to end up with a russian, take it. It's worth it.

Nobody's promising you a wedding. Why do you guys think it works like that? There isn't a magical website invented yet where you can put money in and get the girl of your dreams out in a second. (Except if you're looking for the girl of your wet dreams, you can always buy her but that's not the place) I've been using this site for a while and it's a pretty good dating site. You get exactly what you're paying for, not less, not more. The service is pretty clean. No scam, no fake promises, no tricky or misleading information.

Zach A below is really accurate but I will add to his advice. I have made now two trips to Ukraine and the first was a complete waste of time and basically a way for interpreters to make money. Once I felt sure that the girls all played games, I went into player mode. I am in my 30's, fit, and learned some Russian, so I threw out the dreams of falling in love with these women and just started having sex with as many as I could. After the first meeting with the interpreter, I would invite the girl out alone the second time with promises of all kinds of things, perfumes, purses, shoes, etc. But then explained that in the USA men only spend money on women they $#*!. Since the average Ukranian makes about $800 a month, trips to the mall are rare for these women. Get laid, change your number, move on. They play games, play games back. I needed to change hotels twice unfortunately, but it is what it is. If you want to do this Ukraine thing to find love, look for women 30 and over. They have had a dose of real life and have a different attitude. Although a lot of these women look great, I think the women are more sincere in Asia, so have fun in Ukraine and look for a wife in Asia.

A sophisticated scam. Most of the women are paid to chat and write letters. The agencies in Ukraine actively advertise for women to be paid and are mafia owned. The whole business is deeply corrupt. The positive reviews on this site are mainly shills for Anastasia. For incontrovertible evidence of the extensive FRAUD on the site look at the scammers exposed on this link http://scamvictimsunited.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=4963&start=60

Recently, I met a very charming and lovely woman on anastasiadate.com and I've been emailing her for about six months now. I met her in person on one of the romance tours in Odessa and we are now making plans for her to come and live with me in New York. All the effort I have made and the money I've spent will be worth it once she's in my life for good. I'm sure there are some ladies whose intentions are not pure, but you shouldn't think that all Eastern European women are scammers. The truth is, most of them are looking for someone they could spend the rest of their life with. The only downside is that not all women speak English and using the help of translators can get quite pricey.

This site is absolutely a fraud and scam.
Check out multiple review websites yourself, there are even 'job wanted posters' of online dating sites about 'professional chatters'!

I'm 21 and a girl of 18 yo messaged me after I sent her love note (she tried to chat with me also, but I don't have credits.) She did mention my country in the letter and interested in me after reading my profile, and she'll be waiting for me online next day.
I happened to found her profile on VK (East Europe's Facebook). The birthday and photos shown are same.

So I messaged like: "thanks for sending me message on ‘anatasiadate' and couldn't reply her there due to no credits, and if she remembered ever written me a message, write me back."
Guess what? She read the message and when I visit her VK profile again, the "Send a message" button has gone and I can't send another one through original mail which shows 'can't send message due to privacy setting'! I was blocked!

Don't think younger girls on this site would be more innocent than 20's or above, obviously not! And this is just one of many girls who writes you sweet words on anatasiadate but refuse to contact you other than that high-rate pay to chat scam site!
If you're looking for a real woman overseas, fly to there instead of chatting with photos!

With all the honesty I can portray in this world my experience with Anastasiadate was really worth it. I heard about the site in 2011, at a time when my life couldn’t get any worse than it was already. I needed a fresh start. I had red about success love stories from these online dating sites. Never really paid attention before but really desperate as I was I decided to try my luck. So I chatted with so many women from 5 or 6 different countries, it was really fun I must say, but on my mind all I wanted was a woman from Poland. My best friend was married to a Polish woman so I really wanted to join them. The good thing is that the site offers you exactly what you are looking for, with more than 20.000 women registered. So I was lucky enough to meet a 25 year old from Kharkov. She is compassionate, she has patience and she is intelligent and after all she offers me the love I really need. Pavlina I love you.

Have travelled extensively throughout Russia and Ukraine and Europe and dated girls from Aanastasia Date—here is my take.

The whole culture in cities like Odessa encourages scams, deceit, and lies--- It is part of their culture. Even if you are young, handsome and in good shape, and have a good steady job with a high income-- you will still be looked at as an opportunity by 90% of the girls on Anastasia Date—most are interested in chatting for money and that is all—heck some don't even chat they just sit there expecting you to pay to look at them on video camera. They think men are stupid while they are the ones lacking in intelligence and critical thinking, and are too lazy to get real jobs.
They claim to be interested in dating foreign men but the Irony is that as a foreigner over there you are looked at as sex tourist no matter what or how good your intentions are-- so it is doubly hard to approach local girls because they are very insecure and think they would be looked down upon by other Ukranians if they talk to you in person—they will talk to you on internet chat--- that scam is acceptable and OK.
It is not impossible to find someone over there but very difficult—some tips 1- Learn some Russian or as much as you can 2- Do not correspond with anyone below age 24 to 25 no matter how many times they tell you they love you and want to marry you. 3- Do not correspond with anyone until only a few weeks before you depart—if she is interested she will show up-- spending more money on chat and endless letters is not going to make her like you anymore. 4- If she insists on a 20 Dollar interpreter beyond the first date then tell her to go date someone else—ever one is an adult no need for a babysitter. 5-Know and understand that there is a high chance and probability that the girl who you were corresponding with who was telling you how much she loved you may not show up at all—there is nothing wrong with you but over there it is the norm—again an accepted part of the Anastasia culture. 6-- If you go there go with the attitude of nothing to lose just think of it as a vacation-- If you happen to be lucky to meet one of the girls in the 10% who actually are serious then great, but also understand it is going to take many repeat trips and a lot of money and effort to get her out of the country.
Depending on what you are looking for --you can have fun in cities like Kiev if you go to the right place, but that will also be even more true in other cities in other countries like St Petersburg in Russia or Prague in the Czech Republic.
Be careful Gentleman and above all be strong and firm and stand your ground and let them know—the girls who you are interacting with when they are being wrong.

All the 1-star reviews are from men who thought they could find a date/wife/girlfriend the day they signed up and didn't. I'm a member of the site and while I haven't found anyway special yet, I'm not complaining. True, it's a bit pricy, but no one EVER said it was free. If you don't have money to spend, don't register, simple as that. As far as I've heard, there are way more scammers on free dating sites, but then again, I wouldn't know as I haven't used any other dating site myself.

I wish it was possible for a negative rating. I have seen a plethora of positive ratings on this site and have to beleive they are plants. This site is a form of organized crime that i expereinced first hand. Any posistive comment is questionable at best. I just returned from Ukraine and did a lot of investigation with the help of a young lady on the inside. This is all about money and calling it a scam is putting it mildly. It is a corrupt industry from one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
