Russian 
English 
By Ermine Harte
Today we see representatives of almost every culture on Earth here, in LA. It’s quite difficult to find love: the value of Russian borscht is relative and the cult of Tnx-giving-day-turkey as well. So, here you are, trying to find a partner in a beautiful sunny city.
And suddenly the difference in mentality has appeared. Oh, well, thanks.
Why Meghan Markle took the prince into the armful and broke away from the palace? There she goes again: mental difference. Yeah, it’s not a fiction, multiple mindsets do exist. From the very beginning, we have absorbed our culture, language, traditions, levels of normality. For someone, it’s ok to pay for a girl at a restaurant, and for someone else, it can be absolutely inappropriate. Or getting to know boyfriends/girlfriend’s parents. For you, it is an important step, and there’s nothing special about it for your partner!
Maybe in your family talking about politics at the table is a taboo, and your partner’s newfound relatives are asking your opinion about the new President directly from the doorstep? Globalization has done its part, and now we get along with all kinds of people.
It is important to find a balance: both to preserve your culture and to integrate correctly into your partner’s traditions. Yeah, we are so different, but we are together anyway. My goal is to help you overcome this barrier and see the true personality of your soulmate. The problem with borscht or turkey will be solved on the way.

Here’s a few life-hacks for you to get along with different mentalities:
- Talk to each other
If you simply explain that after number of years of relationships the certain wedding-question should be popped up, would be much easier.
No one has to guess and read between the lines.
- Respect others people borders
There’s another person nearby, he also wants to understand you.
Jokes about the “fake” smiles of Americans are as offensive as those about Russian severity.
- Learn each other's cultures
You have a great opportunity to get to know the traditions of another country without even leaving home!
So, what’s the difference in mentality for you? Write in comments, let’s check your specific case.
