Dating Serbian Women: Step-by-Step Guide on How to Date Women from Serbia

What to know about Serbian woman before you start dating one? We believe it’s about 3 main things:

• Personality and character traits—in order to understand them better
• Statistics and facts—because statistics will show you what to expect and because numbers don’t lie
• Dating tips and cultural differences—because dating Serbian girls is not the same as dating American girls

Here, we’ll talk about all these things.

What are Serbian women like?

Let’s talk about some important Serbian woman traits. What are these women like? Are Serbian girls too conservative? Or, maybe, Serbian women are cold and distant as some other Slavic ladies? Let’s answer these questions.

• First of all, Serbian ladies are generally pretty friendly and open. This, by the way, makes it much easier to date them than other Slavic women. However, it depends on the region: the Northern Serbs, for example, are perceived as not too emotional and very calm, unlike other Serbs. It’s basically one of the best and most well-known Serbian woman characteristics and one of the main reasons for the popularity of Serbian women when it comes to international dating. They speak English, they are flirty and friendly, and they have no prejudices against foreign men.
• They look great, and we are not talking only about the natural beauty here. Serbian girls wear heels everywhere! They care about their physical appearance and love showing it. They often go out with full makeup, and they know how to look fashionable on a budget. They are pretty similar to East Slavs in this regard, actually.
• They are very family-centered. It’s one of the most prominent Serbian woman personality traits, especially for those interested in a serious relationship. Mutual support is highly valued in Serbian families. They respect and care for extended family members, and they often get together to celebrate holidays even if they live in different countries, etc.
• Taking all the above into account, one can say that Serbian women are quite traditional, and it wouldn’t be too far from the truth. But this doesn’t mean they are very conservative. It’s not like they are completely unfamiliar with Western values—they are strong, ambitious, intelligent, and they are definitely not too shy or passive.

Let’s continue talking about Serbian women dating. But first, we need to take a look at the numbers—we found 5 interesting facts that will help you understand Serbian girls, their values, and their views better.

5 Interesting Facts about Serbian women

• They are religious. 75% of Serbs say they have a religious belief, and Eastern Orthodox Christianity has a large and important role in Serbian society.
• Unlike some other Slavs, Serbs don’t get married early. The mean age at first marriage is 28.6 years old for Serbian women, and it’s exactly the same age American women typically have their first marriage—in the US, it’s also 28.6 years old for women.
• They also don’t have children early. The mean age at birth of the first child is 28.1 years old, which is pretty high compared to other Slavic countries. But it’s not that high when compared to other countries in Europe where women tend to have children in their 30s.
• There’s a stereotype about large Serbian families and Serbian women who want to have a lot of kids. However, it’s not true—the average household size in this country is only 2.8 people per household, and the TFR (total fertility rate) is one of the lowest in Europe (1.421 births per woman).
• The divorce rate in Serbia is 1.4 divorces per 1,000 population. This is one of the lowest divorce rates in Europe—only Italy, Bosnia, and Poland have a lower rate.

How to meet a Serbian woman?

There are basically two options you have: online and offline dating. Let’s talk about them.

First, online dating. There are lots of good dating platforms with thousands of Serbian girls who are genuinely interested in meeting a foreign man. These sites are typically not free to use—in most cases, you’ll need to spend around $100-$200 per month to get access to unlimited messaging tools and premium features. However, that’s the only disadvantage of these sites. As for the advantages, it’s simple: it’s much more convenient to date a Serbian girl online than offline, it’s also much cheaper, and the dating pool is extremely large if you date online because in this case, you’ll be able to choose among thousands of real Serbian women who speak English and want to meet a foreigner. You’ll need to choose a good dating site, but it’s not that difficult.

Or, you can meet offline. Belgrade is your #1 choice, but Novi Sad and Nis are worth mentioning, too. There are lots of nice places to meet women there—from shopping malls and bars to theaters and parks (Student park, July park, Danube park, Sava park). However, taking into account all those traits of Serbian women (religious, traditional) it may be difficult to approach them on the streets. What’s more, not all the ladies you meet on the streets would speak English fluently (while most girls on dating sites are fluent English speakers). And another problem is the price—1 week in Belgrade will cost you $400-$700, which is much more expensive than online dating.

But in general, meeting Serbian women in Serbia is possible, too. You just need to understand that it would be very difficult to find someone interested in a long-term relationship with a foreigner this way.

Process of dating Serbian woman online: All you need to know

Suppose you want to meet Serbian women online. In that case, it’s a good choice—building a lasting relationship with a Serbian girl online is easier than approaching them in shopping centers or parks. Here’s a step by step guide on how to meet Serbian women on a dating site.

Do’s and don’ts of dating woman from Serbia

Dating single girls from Serbia may be quite difficult because of different values, different dating etiquette, and so on. The good news is that with our guide, you’ll understand Serbian people better and, therefore, get higher chances to succeed with Serbian ladies. Here, you’ll find some pros and cons that will help you impress that Serbian girl on a date.

✅ Do: be masculine and confident

One of the core values of Serbian dating culture is that women have to be feminine and men have to be masculine. That’s how it’s always been, and you do not need to destroy the fundamentals of their dating world. Be confident, wear clothing that makes you feel comfortable, lead the date and plan everything, don’t be too emotional, be assertive, etc.

❌ Don’t: be too “macho”

It’s important to find the right balance, though. Being too assertive, overconfident, or assertive will not help you impress Serbian girls. Even though lots of Serbian girls may not be aware of the concept of toxic masculinity, this doesn’t mean they like it when a man is too aggressive, disrespectful, or focused on archaic traditional values.

✅ Do: bring a gift and pay for the date

Serbian women are not gold-diggers, of course. It’s just how their dating culture and traditional gender roles work: almost every Serbian girl likes it when a man pays for her coffee and brings her flowers. Foreign men tend to forget about all those chivalrous and “gentleman” things, but if you don’t forget about them, you will have more chances to succeed.

❌ Don’t: try to “buy” her (impress her with money)

However, you should not expect Serbian women to fall for Western men just because their income is higher. Showing your wealth off will most likely be a red flag for Serbian girls, and even if it’s possible to impress some women with a brand new car, well, that’s surely not the best way to find good wives.

✅ Do: respect her culture and country

Serbs are very proud of their country. It makes sense taking into account their incredibly rich history and unique culture, as well as the fact that Slavs are usually very proud of their cultural and historical backgrounds. Learning their language will help you not only meet Serbian women but also impress them on a date. Trust us, saying something like “imaš prelepe oči” on a date will be a very pleasant surprise for her!

❌ Don’t: talk about politics and other controversial topics

It’s not recommended to talk about politics in other European countries either, but with Serbia, it’s even more not-recommended because of, you know, 1999. You don’t want to find yourself on thin ice, so it would be better to avoid controversial topics.

Dating Serbian women may be different from dating American ladies, but is it extremely hard to succeed? No, it’s obviously not. Just treat your Serbian girl with respect, respect her, be a gentleman, and be confident—you’ll love the result.

How to bring your Serbian girlfriend to the US?

Now, you know more about what Serbian women are like, the benefits of dating a Serbian woman, and how to actually meet them. Let’s talk about bringing Serbian wives to the United States: if you have serious intentions, you’ll need to bring your partner to the US sooner or later, so this will be useful.

So, first of all, there are two types of visas for this purpose: K-1 and CR-1 visas. There’s a key difference. For a CR-1 visa, you’ll need to get married outside the US (before applying). With a K-1 visa, you’ll need to get married in the US after getting the visa. If you choose a K-1 visa, here’s what the process of getting a Serbian girl to the US looks like:

• You apply for a visa
• Your bride visits the interview
• She arrives to the United States
• You marry her within 90 days after arrival
• She gets a green card

If you’re going to get a CR-1 visa, the process will look slightly different:

• You get married outside the US
• You apply for the visa
• Embassy interview
• Green card

Of course, the process is much more complex than that—but the main thing we wanted to show here is that it’s 100% legal to meet Serbian women online and bring them to the United States. You’ll need to wait and pay all those visa fees, but it’s 100% legal and 100% worth it.

Conclusion

Editor’s notes

European Countries Expert

“If you’re still hesitating about whether to meet a Serbian woman or not, the only thing I can say is: don’t hesitate. Yes, Serbian society is different from the American one, and you will have to deal with all those cultural differences, but it’s definitely worth it. Having a Serbian wife means having a beautiful, faithful, and supportive partner—so I believe that local women are 100% worth the effort.”

I've been to 33 countries, and I'm going to expand this list; I was pleased to date more than 100 ladies from other countries while traveling (not bragging; maybe just a little), and I'm pretty experienced in both building relationships and understanding cultures different from my own. I love having fun, exploring new places and cultures, and helping people who are as interested in international relationships as I am.
