This reads like values-first, clutter-later, which I love. Cross-cultural work is like decluttering a home: decide what stays (respect, rituals) and what goes (unspoken assumptions). For anyone comparing “pros and cons of marrying a ukrainian woman,” make a shared list and revisit monthly. It’s not romantic; it’s effective.

Treat it like good UX. Reduce friction: verify, set boundaries, align time zones. Add delight: learn a greeting, share a quiet cafe photo, be present. Remove dark patterns: no paywalls, no “just one more credit.” Sustainable systems lead to sustainable relationships.

Keep it simple: one café, one short walk, one genuine story. Minimal plan, maximum presence. Portuguese basics plus clear eye contact. If she says “vamos ver,” I treat it as a soft maybe and offer two options with times. No response? Archive, move on. Carry a tiny gift only when meeting family—good coffee beans or European chocolate feels right-sized, not performative.
