I'm a foreigner living in Russia. I speak Russian pretty well and work here. There's no shortage of young, decent men like some people believe, at least in the city that I'm in. (Spb)

I don't have much success here. I usually rely on tinder and mostly get matched with girls I'm not that into. When I try to approach a beautiful girl on the street I freeze and I don't understand why, because my friends, Russian and foreign, say I should be slaying. I'm not even looking for a loaf of hook ups. Just wanna find one great girl.

I'm very conscious of other people looking at me when I try to approach and that's my biggest barrier I guess. If anyone has any tips, or is coming to Saint Petersburg soon, hit me up.
