- Online. Internet or online dating is becoming more and more popular. Most people are very busy and they just do not have the possibility, time, or energy to go out to look for a beautiful stranger who can be (or not be) a potential partner. Online dating there are several advantages and we will talk about them later. Just now it is necessary to take into consideration that the Internet or online dating is very popular in the Netherlands and if you wish to have good results, you should think about it before planning your trip.
- In museums. In such places, you can see mostly tourists from different countries. If you are an open-minded person and the nationality of your future partner is not too important to you, a museum is a good place to meet singles. Plus, you will surely meet a lady with the same interests, it will be easier to start a conversation if you are looking at the same exhibit and surely, you will meet a rather intelligent woman who is investing her time into self-development. This way has a lot of advantages, however, there are also difficulties. If you meet a charming woman from a faraway country, you risk being involved in a long-distance relationship with all its pros and cons. Long-distance relationships are not bad at all, however, it is necessary to understand them. To find out more about it, take a look at the following article https://slavic-girl.com/news.tag.long-distance-relationship
- In nightclubs. If you are confident enough to start a conversation with a beautiful stranger you can try your luck in numerous nightclubs in the Netherlands. In this country, you will enjoy an unforgettable atmosphere of freedom, and Netherlands girls and women know how to have fun and enjoy life. The advantage of such a meeting is that you can have fun together, come to a closer relationship and you can see the “real face” of your Netherlands girl (if she drinks or not, if she smokes or not, what exactly she drinks and smokes). However, in such a place you risk finding a woman who is not interested in a long-term relationship, but who prefers just a short and passionate relationship. If you are looking for something more stable and solid, this way is not for you. Plus, in a nightclub, you can meet a very beautiful woman, however, you cannot be sure of her intelligence and deep inner world. Plus, be very careful, in nightclubs you can meet “professional” beauties who meet with men just for profit.
- Doing sport. A healthy lifestyle is more popular nowadays. It is certain that all men want to meet a woman who takes care of her health and body. If you also like sports it will be easy for you to start a conversation with a beautiful stranger during your morning jogging or in a fitness club. You already have a common hobby and common vision of your health, so, don’t hesitate. You can ask how long she does sport if she follows any special technique, how often she does it, and so on. Discussing your way of doing a sport you can ask your new girlfriend to show you a sports bar or sports café and invite her to have a meal there. Everything else depends on you.)

Romantic variant. The Netherlands in general and Amsterdam, in particular, have specific glory. If Paris is associated with romance, Amsterdam is mostly associated with something not very legal and with women of the ancient profession. It is not fair at all. Netherlands women are charming and they are also very romantic. Even if you are not looking for a Dutch girl, you can easily meet a beautiful woman who, like you, came there for a vacation. Take an evening cruise by the Amsterdam channels and you won’t be disappointed. It is not expensive at all (prices for such cruises are mostly about 15€), you will see the beauty of night Amsterdam with all its lights and… Just keep your eyes open. Women adore such cruises and evening lights mirrored creating a very special and romantic atmosphere. Plus, there are some evening cruises that offer not only beautiful scenery and excursions but light food and drinks. So, just imagine you, her, water, and hundreds of lights. It looks like the beginning of an amazing tale and you can make it true.
Best Netherlands dating apps
Meeting a woman in the Netherlands can be very easy or not easy at all, it depends on your vision of the situation and on certain luck. Let’s imagine the daily life of a woman who lives in the Netherlands and who is not especially looking for a man. She can dream about relationships, be ready for it, and secretly wait for her prince charming… but in daily life, your princess can be very busy and just miss you in a crowd. Or she can notice you, but be too tired after work, or hurry up to a meeting with her friend or sister. There are so many everyday obstacles in the life of every person and very often we just do not notice people around us, even very interesting, even beautiful, even those who can be ideal partners for us. Modern life has become so busy and intensive that more and more people prefer to meet each other online. This way has a lot of advantages and according to statistics in the Netherlands, more and more people use dating sites and dating apps to find each other. There are special sights for those who are looking for communication, and friendship, but mostly these sites and apps are created to help people to meet each other with romantic goals. So, what are the best Netherlands apps that help men to find their women? There are:
- Tinder
- Badoo
- Happn
- Lexa.nl
Most people use Tinder, 62% of all users. So, if you prefer to use a dating app, this Dutch dating app can help you meet a charming Holland woman.
However, if you wish to have support in your search if you have serious goals and you are not just looking for communication and easy romantic relationships, it is better to address the dating site. It is important to remember that in the Netherlands you can meet not only a Dutch woman, but a woman from any other country who works there or spends her long vacations, so, it is much more reasonable to use an international dating site in your search. Nowadays there are so many sites that it is not easy at all to choose the right one for you. The first and most important difference between dating sites consists of payment. Some dating sites are free, other sites demand some payment for their services. Let’s analyze which one is better.
Free sites:
- It is very easy to become a member of such a site. You mostly don’t even have to fill out your profile completely. You don’t need to place your photo there (a picture from the Internet will be more than enough, or even with no photo). There are no special rules to follow, you just register with a couple of clicks and you can communicate. Such easiness is so attractive! And you should understand that it is so easy for all people, so you can communicate with anybody: people of all nationalities, social statuses, and cultures. There are no limits. Is it good or bad? On one hand, you are absolutely free to do anything, communicate with who you want to, say anything, and do anything. On another hand, people can do absolutely the same to you. So, very often on such free sites communication can be unpleasant: offensive, abusive, brutal, and so on.
- You don’t need to pay. Yes, of course, it is very pleasant if you avoid payment. All people want to have something for free. Propos in supermarkets proves it every day. However, the same analogy to the supermarket, you come there to buy bread and you go out with the full bag and no bread in it. The same thing is true with free sites. You come there to meet a nice young (or not very young) girl, communicate with her, start a relationship, and then, if everything goes well, meet in real life. When you come to a free dating site, you risk surfing among people who are not looking for the same way of communication as you. Very often people are there just for fun. Some people are bored and they simply entertain themselves there. You risk having just unpleasant communication which wastes your time and gives you only bad emotions. What wins the site in this case? You are watching advertising, you make the site more popular by your participation, and in reality, you use (buy) its product.
- It is nice that you can give yourself only the information that you wish. You can hide some facts about yourself or change them. Well, actually, if you are 55 y.o., but you feel like 45 y.o., why not write this age? However, this medal also has two sides. Some people like to be a person who they are not in reality. So, by communicating with beautiful Sarah from San Francisco you can talk to teenage Stefan from Hamburg. In such an affair as online dating, it is always better to be honest, if you have serious intentions, of course. If your goals are not too serious, free sites can be a good solution.
- Security. Using free sites you should be very careful, much more careful than on paid sites. When you are using free sites, you should understand that there are a lot of people who can use them for not very honest affairs. So, be very careful, don’t help people there with your money, no matter what kind of sad stories they are telling you. We are sure that you have a kind heart, however, in 99.9% of cases such as asking for money are scammers who make their own profit. They are not controlled on free sites, so you should be very reasonable. When you are communicating with a nice lady, don’t hesitate, to ask her for daily photos, ask her about her family, share family photos, and ask for a video conference. A real woman won’t refuse, for her, it will be also interesting to see her hero.)
- Understanding. On international sites mostly there are programs of translation that help people to understand each other. It seems to be easy and it is not a problem to translate even manually phrase by phrase your communication via Google. But… doing it all the time can be long, complicated, and boring. Plus, automatic translation works well if you translate from English to one of the popular languages, like French, Spanish, or German. There are mistakes, but it is possible to understand each other. However, if your lady speaks Russian, Ukrainian, or one of the rare languages, the translation will be worse. Sometimes you will meet situations when the sense of the phrase is absolutely opposite. It is better to avoid such situations, especially at the beginning of a relationship when you try to understand each other to the maximum and build something serious.
Paid sites:
- What are you paying for? Some people prefer to say that they don’t need to pay for love. Of course not. Nobody needs to have paid “feelings”. When you are using paid sites you are paying for their service and nothing else. On such sites, there is a team of professionals who can and who voluntarily will consult you at any time that is comfortable for you.
- Security. All your data is well protected. When you register, you give information about yourself, when you make payments, it is made via safe international pay systems and any personal information cannot be given to other people. The same system protects clients. Women also usually use nicknames, but their data and matrimonial state are carefully checked, on such sites, you cannot meet a married woman or she cannot hide that she has 4 kids.;)
- One more security step. Dating is such a delicate sphere. Any person can have doubts if a woman is sincerely interested in him or she is interested in his position, money, or she is just willing to have fun. On paid dating sites it is almost impossible. Women are so carefully checked that they can have only serious intentions. A woman who is just less serious won’t make all these efforts: filling out all the papers, making and then giving her certificate about family status, professional photo sessions, and several consultations. All the clients are warned about the appropriate behavior and anti-scam policy. So, here you can be calm about the seriousness and reality of women, your money, and that anybody can use you. Very good beginning, isn’t it?
- Understanding. Mostly on paid dating sites translation is made by professional translators. Any language, even a very exotic one will be translated properly and you avoid a lot of misunderstandings about what is so important in relationships.
- Various services. Usually, on such sites, you can have a lot of services: consultation, translation, gift delivery, text chat, video chat, meeting organization, even traveling organization, dating tours, and matchmaking services. To find out more about it, go to Slavic Girl Dating Site.
