Question 6: Are there a lot of Filipino scammers online?

Answer: No. Well, as many as the average number of scammers in other countries. The issue, however, is not the number of scammers. The issue is spotting one so you can protect yourself and have the ultimate online dating experience. There are a lot of things you can do to protect yourself and one is to go with your gut feeling.

Question 7: Is it a good idea to go to the Philippines to meet a Filipina?

Answer: Yes if… There are a couple of conditions to this. The first, you have to have a real connection with the Filipina you’re chatting with online. This means that you need to have a mutual understanding on where your relationship stands. Two, you have to be financially ready for the travel because it’s common sense. If your budget doesn’t allow it, don’t go through with your plans on visiting the Philippines. Remember, you’ll be expected to pay for most things like dinner, drinks and so on. There are a lot more to consider but what we’re basically saying is that you need to plan and consider every detail. Don’t jump into the decision.

Question 8: How do I know if my online relationship is getting serious?

Good question. Most Filipinos are very predictable. It’s almost always certain that the person you’re corresponding with online will wear his/her heart on his/her sleeve. This means that the person you’re talking with will want to connect with you more often. You’ll also know by how their messages are composed.   If the messages sound sweeter and more loving, it’s most likely that it’s getting serious. Another sure sign is a mention of this: “I wish you could meet my family” or “I wish I could meet your family”. Remember that family is very important to every Filipino so meeting the most important people in their lives is a good sign that it’s getting serious between you two.

Question 9: Should I send money to my Filipina girlfriend I met online?

Answer: Yes if… Here’s another one that requires a few conditions to be met. The first condition: you to be certain that the other person is sincere about the relationship. This requires a lot of communication, a few times of actually meeting the person in real life (and their family), and proofs of the other person making a genuine effort of maintaining or advancing the relationship (you shouldn’t do all of the work). In addition, you should also be watching out for red flags like if the relationship is advancing too fast or if the other person always says that there’s an emergency in their family so financial aid is needed. These should help you decide.

Question 10: Will the family approve of a Filipino dating a foreigner online?

Answer: Yes if… There are a lot of conditions to our questions today. Anyway, let’s talk about realistic expectations. Imagine if you have a son or a daughter dating someone they’ve only met online. Would you approve? Probably yes if you met the person and have spent time with the person, right? It’s the same with a Filipino family.
