Officially, there are 195 countries in the world, so that’s a huge dating pool.
How exactly do you go about choosing the best countries for dating?
Usually, most singles have a preference: They like people from certain countries or cultures more than others, either because these foreign singles share many similarities so there’s less gaps – language, cultural, religion, etc. – to bridge, or because they like an adventure, learning about different cultures, and more.
Love can be just a plane ride away, or the click of a few buttons on an online dating site. But with which countries do you start?
Here’s my guide on the best countries for dating and why you should start looking for your love match here.

1. Ukraine
Ukrainian ladies are popular, and it’s no surprise that Ukraine is one of the best countries for your dating needs.

The Icelandic ladies are exotic. They are tall, with an average height of 5.7’ and athletic bodies. And their blonde hair and blue or green eyes are striking against a pale and flawless complexion.
Real men know that beauty is more than skin-deep, so what makes an Icelandic woman even more attractive is her brains. These ladies are smart, so prepare yourself for great conversations and more.

Looking for a partner who is hardworking, polite, loyal, pretty, and loving? Then a lady from the Philippines is a great love match for you.
Filipinas are more traditionally oriented, but at the same time, they are open-minded too. When you marry a Filipino woman, her family becomes yours because a connection to family is important in this culture.
