Romanian ladies love to be spoilt.

Romanian ladies are very traditional. Click here to learn about Romanian Etiquette.

Group of Romanian Ladies

Romanian women have very high expectations of their friends, relatives and visitors. You will find Romanian women will take you quickly to their heart, and expect you to behave as a gentleman or fellow lady. You will see them fly into the most incredible rages with other Romanians and occasionally, if you are in the wrong place, with you! If happened in England, there would be a good few months or years of sullen silence… in Romania if will last about 10 minutes, and then everything is back to normal.

Romanian women work incredibly hard. You will be amazed at how much they can fit into a day. When I visit older Romanian female hosts, they will be busy in the kitchen. When I first met Granny, my wife’s grandmother, I was asked if I wanted beans or soup. I tried to be polite, so I answered ‘Both please’ – poor granny had to cook two meals as she too did not want to appear rude! I often don’t see the Romanian female hosts when they cook as while everyone is eating one course, they are in the kitchen making sure that everything is as expected.

There are solid expectations of a Romanian lady. They are brought up with a strong sense of morals and expect you to know all the Romanian customs. When a woman comes into the room, make sure she has a place to sit – even if it is your own chair. I always get too excited and immediately ask if they would like a tea – a common question in England – don’t ask in Romania, as Romanians only drink tea when they feel poorly.

The Romanian women will be the toughest judges of your character if you start dating a Romanian daughter. They love it if you take time to learn some basic Romanian phrases, and try to speak a little Romanian before you meet. This causes such a huge amount of joy. Don’t forget that many Romanian ladies only have one child, and they have such great aspirations for their future. Also remember that you will be expected to become an active part of the family and support everyone’s dreams.

Grandma

Both your future Romanian mother-in-law and the girl you are dating love gifts. Whenever you visit a Romanian lady, a winning idea is to bring some gifts from your home country – such as sweets or biscuits, when you first meet. You will then be immediately offered them, and the whole family will share them with great delight.

Romanian women love to buzz around gold and silver jewellery stores. Irina, my wife, often asks me if she should buy a friend of mine some gold or silver jewellery. Sadly I am not skilled in looking and remembering at what a woman likes to wear – so she now has to meet them, then the next time they meet, even a year later, Irina is armed with a perfect piece of jewellery.

Grandma

In summary, Romanian ladies are the keepers of the family – find an elegant, polite, open and happy Romanian woman, and you can be sure that your future happiness as part of the family is certain. They will love you dearly, and make you an adopted son of the family.
