Hello Ladies....
I am very interested a Filipina I met online (not on one of those dating sites). I live in Michigan and she lives in Quezon City, Philippines. So far we seem to hit it off pretty well. We have video chat every night just before she starts work and once again just before she's leaving to go home. There is a 12 hour time difference between our locations. In the meantime, I have been trying to learn as much as I can about Filipino culture, in part because of my interest in her. I have even started to learn some Tagalog phrases, although it's not an easy task trying to learn the proper pronunciation. I feel that this will be of great help to get to know her and her culture even better. I have expressed to her that I'm interested in her but I would like some suggestions on things I could do to win her over. I plan to visit the Philippines in the future but I won't be able to make frequent trips back and forth. I want to have something meaningful with her that will ultimately lead to marriage. I have read that the traditional dalagang Filipina is shy and secretive about her real feelings for a suitor and denies it even when she is in love with him. What are some signs I could watch out for know matter how low key they are that will let me know that I am on the right track and she is feeling something for me as I am for her? I have a few specific things I would like to ask but I will wait until I start to get feedback before I ask my next questions. One thing I do want to add if this somehow helps is that we will meet in person for the very first time in February 2014 when she makes the trip to the US to see her father in San Diego. (US Navy Veteran, retired) She also will spend time with a lot of her family who also lives in the Los Angeles area.
I suggest staying far far away from wooing women in developing countries on the internet.
He's an adult...sometimes you have to learn a hard lesson.

Hermosa,
I really need your help. I understand you live in China now. I made some money in China last year, but it is stuck in a bank. I need to get it out. I can split the money with you. You can get more than half of it even. I just need you to wire me some money to initiate the legal process of getting the money out. It is around 80,000 US equivalent. I even have SKYPE, so we can talk cam to cam if it makes you feel better. Is that ok?
Good advice. My friend married a pretty lady, from China, he met online. She moved here to the Bay Area after they got married. Once she received her US Citizenship, she left him and brought her "real husband" and children over. Beware, she cleaned him out.

So true. This isn't limited to Asia, either. I'd NEVER date anyone from a developing country, even if they are white and from eastern Europe or Russia. No way. If he really wants a Filipina, date one that's already a US citizen or permanent resident.
Not everyone you meet online are users.
You have to go to the Philippines and see her. Spend some time with her so you will get to know her, her family and friends. Don't rush into marriage, give it a year. Meantime, get to know her first by being just friends for now.

you know it was opposite from one of my best friend. She met her ex-husband on the internet and she was totally in love with him. She works before as executive secretary in one of the health magazine in the Philippines. So this Canadian guy went to the Philippines after so many months as long distance couple. He proposed and my friend accepted his proposal because she thought he was the one. But again he cheated on her by falling in love to his close friend after they were together and she was even pregnant when it happened. So after she gave birth they separated and this guy left her to be with that girl. She's still a single mom up to now and happy being with her son who is already 4 yrs. old.
So I agree with Hermosa, go to the Philippines and get to know her better and I'm sure she wants to get to know you too specially if she's serious in your relationship.

I agree, that would be the best way, then you wont have to worry about immigration and supporting her family back in the Philippines, since they would already be living here in the USA
plus it seems like too much trouble to make all those trips back to the PI just o meet a lady, thats going to cost a lot of time and money
and then you will know she's not just using you to get her foot in the door
if you cant find one here in the US then something must be wrong? it's better to meet a local girl the old fashioned way, dont rush into a internet relationship in a foreign country, that just seems so desperate in my opinion
