Dating Someone na Hindi Pinoy --- Share Experiences

[oliveray]

pa-join sa thread, mga sis!

im going out with an irish guy from work. dati di ko sya pinapansin kase im attracted to someone else. 1st time nya ko inaya mag-movie and dinner, plan ko pa to back out. pero ngayon we've been going out for a month na. masaya, ala pang commitment. and sya pa din taya pag lumalabas kame. though minsan, inuunahan ko sya kahit sa movie man lang.

at lagi nya ko tine-text, as in, everyday. morning til night and he's such a gentleman. minsan, iniisip ko he's too good to be true. sana lang he's not like typical pinoy who's putting the best foot forward..

^ I've had a thing with an Irish guy and based on that experience, they seem to be really nice. Mabait and I instantly felt comfortable. Good luck, hope it works out for the best

[nikoy_air]

yes they're really very nice and friendly. they are the filipinos of the west. they are genereally super simple and very very chatty. goodluck oliveray, hope it works out well :-)

[Romina]

Ive to say yes to that. A patient I attented to before still keeps in touch, plus their accent is so dreamy.

@oliveray

from my experience, foreigners wouldn't do things to impress you. they would do things because they want to and that's their way of expressing how they feel. kung hindi ka nila gusto, hindi sila eeffort. so if i were you, maniwala ka na and hope for better things to come. who knows, he might be "the one". cheers to happiness!

Im dating an American right now, exclusively.  It's not something i planned or expected kasi nandito ako sa Europe pero na-in love ako sa isang Kano. 

He's mature, very expressive and he's blunt. Napaka-PDA pa which is hindi talaga ako nasanay. Pero mahal ko, ano pa nga ba ang magagawa ko? 

Napapansin ko sa kanila...ang dali nila mag propose.

[nikoy_air]

nagpropose na siya? how did he do it? kwento naman sis.. syempre pakialamera ako hehe

[Joycy]

^ Hindi pa nag-propose. 

But i know that the next time we see each other, he will. Nasa US siya, im in London. So we rarely see each other. But we talk everyday. Pero yun na nga, everyday may mga hints. He doesnt want this long distance relationship to go on much longer. He asked my friend for my ring size. He kept saying everyday that he wanted me there with him...yung mga ganun. Tsaka, the way he talks...

Maybe im just imagining things...

haaayy... generally-speaking, hindi ba talaga madalas magparamdam ang mga boylet na foreigners specially, europeans?

yung boylet-boyletan ko kasi, magka-contact naman kami sa fb, alam nya personal address ko, syempre pati celnumbers ko pero sa office email lang ang communication namin... 

minsang may sinend ako sa kanyang picture thru fb, aba'y sa office email nagreply.... pero hindi ko naman sya pinagdududahang taken na... 100% sure naman akong single sya... (hopefully  ) pero yun nga... talagang office emai lang ang communication namin....

saka question pala sisses, how would i know if he likes me? i mean kumbaga e may chance na mag level up ang kung anuman ang meron kami ngayon?  he never told me that he liked me.... pero based on his emails, he looks interested pa rin naman sa kin kahit hindi ko sya "pinagbigyan" the last time we dated hehe    ayaw ko namang mauna na sabihin ko sa kanyang... like ko sya though sa mga emails ko... i'm showing some signs na i do care for him...

saka super impressed ako sa lalakeng ito dahil halos lahat ng mga naikuwento ko sa kanya nung magkasama pa kami a month ago... natatandaan pa nya.. ako pa ata itong medyo nakalimutan yung ibang bagay na shinare nya sa kin before 

[junetwentythree]

@Joycy: Wow. That's quite fast. I thought I just read on another thread that you just finalized your annulment lately. Are you ready to get married again?

@onefineapril: Have you guys actually met? I think seeing each other more often, rather than online communication, is the key to really getting to know someone and seeing if you guys are into each other. I still think that even in this day and of the internet, nothing beats good old fashioned face to face encounters.

[onefineapril]

hi sis junetwentythree!

yes we already met... to summarize...

mon: project meeting (office)
wed: 2nd project meeting (still in the office)
thurs: he asked me out
fri: we went out.. bar hopping
sat: we went shopping for his souvenirs and had dinner then hinatid ko sa airport...

ganun kabilis...

yeah... how i wish na sana nga everyday kaming nagkikita kaso malayo sya e... kaya gusto ko lang sanang malaman kahit konti.... kung may way ba to at least find out kung he's into me... pero syempre best way pa rin na sabihin nyang direcho pero ayaw ko naman na sa akin magsisimula yung topic...

i havent tried this, dating a foreigner. siguro for adventures i might go for it. however if im looking for a romantic type baka hindi-- based sa mga kwento niyo at kwento ng iba. why?

--kasi gusto ko parin ng lalake (regardless kung pinoy or hindi) na magpakita sakin na he cares for me--everyday! gets ko naman yung culture na hindi sila clingy at gusto nila independent ang woman-- the things is filipino parin ako and i still want that culture. kung bf/gf ganun na siya, what more kung asawa ko na. hindi ko kaya na kesyo ganun ang kinalakhan nilang culture, ganun nalang ang tatanggapin. lets admit it, madalas sa hinde tayo ang nag aadjust sakanila at hindi ang foreigner.

it doesnt matter kung ano ang lahi nila, if they are really into you they will be like filipinos-- they can also be uber romantic and clingly. (as in magtetext at magpaparamdam yan everyday). practically they are humans. those kind of mushy stuff comes out naturally for them, if and only if, they are really into you. we just make an excuse na foreigner sila that's why they are not into being romantic at all. wala din sa culture yan alone, nasa tao din yan (regardless kung ano lahi niya) if they are really love you--they will be corny as well like pinoys in proclaiming their love to you.

katulad ng mga jowa ng sisters ko ngayon. nalulunod sa kakornihan ang mga foreigners bf's nila. parang pinoy din kung magmahal. panay text, call, padala ng gifts sa mga sisters ko kahit LDR pa sila. pero nuon nagka bf din sila foreigners na parang so so lang. ganyan din ang kwento nila. only to find out, di naman pala taga inlove sakanila ang mga yun. hiniwalayan din sila eventually.

[nikoy_air]

sa palagay ko case to case lang talaga.. my now bf is super duper affectionate, thoughtful and sometimes needy. ever since we started dating, we never failed to talk on the phone whether i'm the one who is out of the country or siya.

i just got back from the emirates for training. he picked me up at the airport. and guess what, he talked his way all the way up doon sa may taxi stand. i knew that he waited for almost an hour. when we finally saw each other, he gave me a rose. as in one lang pero its nice to think that he's had it the whole time and he didnt feel embarassed to hold it.

now he went to doha for a meeting and he'd still call even if i know that he's super busy with biddings.

btw, when i met his family last week, it was super successful. his mom is very friendly and approachable. i guess they liked me too because they got me a present before they left..

just sharing.. happiness kasi eh :-)

[Joycy]

@Joycy: Wow. That's quite fast. I thought I just read on another thread that you just finalized your annulment lately. Are you ready to get married again?

*sigh* Bad news everyone. We broke up na. I know it was fast...but i also know what i want. Although bago palang na-finalize yong annulment ko, i've been single for awhile na before this guy. Im  ready na talaga. Im happier when im with someone, although okay naman ako being single. Most women wanted to have a career and a lovelife. =) Im just contented having the latter. Although im working to have both.  Sorry, im just this hopeless na romantic.

[kittypowerranger]

^ sorry to hear that sis, magrereact sana ako tapos nabasa ko nsman to..
bakit kayo nagbreak? if its too personal i understand if you dont wanna talk about it

[thesis_gal]

I've dated several foreigners in the past. I sometimes forget that I'm dealing with non-Fils.  I deal with them the way I'd deal with Fils.  Theres not much difference. 

I'm currently dating an Aussie.  He's a bit difficult, we sometimes don't get along, it's a culture thing but we work it out plus his accent is just hot.  Like I'd always ask him to tell me stuff and I'd listen to how cute his accent is (not really paying attention to what he's saying LOL).

[Joycy]

^ sorry to hear that sis, magrereact sana ako tapos nabasa ko nsman to..

Wag na lang muna sis.  It's not that personal pero masyadong mahaba eh. Ishe-share ko naman but not just now. Almost 2 months na kami wala. And the rate we are going now, i dont think we are getting back together.

After him, i had 2 dates with a Macedonian guy. Okay lang, hindi siya guwapo. Kaya lang, he's moving too fast for me. Grabe, he was eating my face on  the first date pa lang. Sex lang yata ang habol niya sa akin so now, we barely talk. Galit siya kasi palagi kong nire-reject.

The 2nd guy, taga-Poland na man. I like his height but it was probably the most innocent date i've ever had. He didnt try anything except a sweet kiss after the date. He invited me for a barbecue this Sunday at his friend's flat.

I also had a date with a Portuguese. Coffee and movie date. He's just my height so na-turn off ako. He's  nice but when i see he calls me, hindi ko sinasagot ang phone.

The last date i had was 3 days ago with a Lebanese guy. Turn off ako. But he is nice. Really pangseryoso. Kaya lang, wala eh. He called me hours ago and i answered the phone. Kaso, lowbat ako so naputol and i didnt charge my phone yet. Hindi ko talaga type.

My friends said that im becoming a serial dater.  Pero, kasalanan ko ba kung wala akong na-feel ni anything for those people. And i cant say no talaga kasi nagi-guilty ako so ang ginagawa ko, hindi ko na lang sinasagot the calls. Im such a coward. 

[kittypowerranger]

^ aww ganun ba sis its ok..
oo nga dami mo kadate nyahaha puro foreigner lahat..

[Joycy]

^Alangan namang Pinoy sis eh nasa London ako. lol

[missgoodvibe]

Havent tried dating a foreigner. Hmmmm.
Parang gusto ko mag-venture sa ganiyan. Haha! Kidding aside, gusto ko talaga. Pero I don't know how, I have friends na nakilala nila sa chat or dating site . Pero hindi ko naman alam kung pano yun. LOL. I signed up sa dating site, pero wala naman nag-pPM sakin. Haha. Sa chat naman, hindi ko alam kung pano, kapag sumasali ako sa mga rooms, may mga bastos na nag-memessage. Err.

Any recommendations? Hihi. At talagang naghanap pa ako ng suggestions. Haha.
