How to meet a beautiful Filipina single

My wife once left me drinking coffee in one of Manila's huge shopping Malls. If a pretty young Filipina asks "Sir, are you already married?"... make sure you say yes!

What could be easier! Fly halfway round the world, find the nearest Mall and relax with a coffee! Filipinas are very conservative - they don't respond well to winks, whistles or cheap chat-up lines. The girl you'll meet in this situation is probably not the sort of girl you would want to marry.

If you're obviously single, you could be approached by a Chaperone. "Good afternoon sir, this is my niece/sister" If it's a function or gathering where everybody is well acquainted - maybe. Otherwise, my advice in the Philippines is 'Remember what your mother said, don't talk to strangers'.

Personally, unless you're familiar with the country, I would advise against traveling to the Philippines alone.

Do you have any Filipino friends? - it's likely they'll know someone back home hoping to marry a Westerner. The problem here is, telling someone their sister or niece isn't attractive won't be the best friendship booster.

Of course, you could save time and money by seeking a Filipina already settled in your country. Trust me... the effort saved is no compensation for what you'll miss.

Fortunately, the Internet has made the world a very small place. Be very careful with social networking sites and chat rooms - too many beggars, thieves and perverts. True, there are plenty of Filipinas looking for husbands but often with problems and excess baggage. Filipinas possess a deadly weapon - their smile... and any 'newbie' is likely to find himself in love within thirty seconds or less. They'll get you hooked then feed in the bad news... it's to late to run, you're in love!

In my younger days, I met a Filipina beauty in a Yahoo chat-room. There were always six kids in the room - one was hers, the others she was minding. I will never forget the look of panic on that girl's face when one of the kids she was 'minding' called her Mama.

Any conventional 'boy meets girl, they get to know each other better' situation has one big draw back. If you discover a potential problem, you could be faced with a very difficult dilemma - do you deal with the issue or end the relationship?

You could of course develop a subtle chat-up along the lines of "Hi, my name is Steve. How old are you? What is your legal marital status? How many children do you have? Are you willing to relocate to another country?"

The safest place to meet a beautiful Filipina single is a reputable Dating Website. Filipina Cupid is probably the most popular. The great thing about a good Dating Website is profiles - you can see someones personal details before you contact them thus avoiding most potential problems.
