If you’ve never set foot in the Filipino dating scene before, or if you’ve been in it for quite some time but don’t seem to have a lot of luck, you might need a little guidance. After all, the dating scene in the Philippines is not necessarily similar to its counterpart in other places in the world, nor is it drastically different.
For foreigners who are dating a Filipino, or for Filipinos trying to maintain a long distance relationship with another Filipino, here are a few tips:
Honesty is the key. Long distance relationships are hard to manage since you’re far from each other. If you’re truly serious about entering into a relationship, you should be fully committed to her. It is much more difficult to be trusted if you are caught, even once, in a lie
- Linked to honesty is trust. A fair amount of it is needed for any relationship to work, even more so in a long distance relationship, where you cannot verify a lot of rumors to be true, only take your partner’s word for it. Filipinos generally tend to be possessive or jealous to a point, even to a fault. Fortunately, if you are truly worth trusting, there will be little reason to be jealous.
- Speak out don’t be afraid to express how you feel about partner. This holds true especially if you’re far from each other. A long distance relationship lacks the frequent physical intimacy in a regular relationship, so a lot more has to be verbalized to provide a more secure foundation. Keep in touch open and don’t break the connection. Regular communication is needed in this kind of relationship. Email, or call him/her every day, make time to talk to your partner, this will strengthen your bond and at the same time you’ll gain trust from him/her.
For those who are dating the regular way, here are a few pointers.
For those who are dating the regular way, here are a few pointers. – Respect each other. Regardless what race, color or beliefs you had. It is not uncommon in the Filipino dating scene to have two very seemingly different people, in terms of age, race, or religion, together. If you are of different races, you will both have individual, culturally-based beliefs and values that do not always align. You might even be of different religions. However this is not the basis why relationship cannot work. You don’t need to believe in the same thing your partner believed and you don’t even have to pretend to like the same things he/she likes. Be yourself and take control of what you want, need or like.
It is not even wrong to disagree or argue- the best relationships are between two mature adults with a strong sense of identity. What you need to do is respect each other while maintaining your individuality. Without respect for each other’s individuality or beliefs, there’s a little chance that your relationship could work
- Be spontaneous. Whether it is your first, or your fifty-first date, spontaneity adds spice. Try new things together and laugh at each other’s botched-up attempts. Which leads to another pointer- don’t be afraid to make mistakes and laugh at them- a rule not just for dating, but for life in general.
- Avoid bringing up your ex, especially on the first date. That will just show your date that you have not completely moved on, and may just be on the rebound. Never compare your ex to your current date. It’s inappropriate to bring up difference or similarities to your ex and contrast them to your date it’s impolite and leaves a bad impression.
- Past is past. You should not bring up past mistakes just to have a fight with your partner. Move on and forget the past.
Failed dates are part of the dating scene you shouldn’t be that discouraged about it. The Filipino dating scene actually has a lot of prospects, and you will eventually meet someone just right for you. Hang in there.
