Online Dating

[120515]

true, it is important to do your own due diligence as well. i guess i was lucky that i met someone genuine the first time i tried okcupid. my husband was easy to cross-check because he has various research papers published online and i was able to quickly confirm where he graduated, got his master's, and where he's taking his phd.

^Meron pa nga sis they don't give their real names. So talagang mas okay if after chatting for a while e ibibigay rin nila fb profiles nila. Pag sinabing wala silang fb di yun totoo lols.

Agree ako dito.. haha..

sa mga sis na nagka relationship through online dating hindi ba kayo naka experience na since that's where you met e may chance that he is still checking out or dating other girls through those sites? or fear man lang na active pa siya dun?

i met someone online, we went out twice and everything is great he is super ok. but i'm not expecting anything, i've been burned one too many times that i seem jaded already. two date is too early to tell where this will lead us and i have this fear na since dun nga kame nagka kilala he might cheat on me using online dating sites pag kame na.

ang masasabi ko lang din, have standards. know who you are and what you want. it's also a numbers game. don't limit yourself sa mga usual na type of guys mo. minsan you will meet someone na ok pala but he is not usually the kind of guy you would go for. if through chatting or texting something seems off then maybe it's better to move on na lang than to try and meet in person pa. watch out for red flags. be very discerning and cautious. mahirap na madaming loko loko out there.

well, we both deleted our accounts when we decided we were official...we happily answered the last question of why we are deleting our accounts as being because we foubd each other on the site. i'm definitely sure that my husband does not have any additional accounts because he's allergic to social media, his facebook is barely updated, he only joined the dating site because he just moved and didn't know a lot of people in the new place.
the standard i set for myself was to make sure he loved to read, is well-educated, and not racist

I told a friend who signed up on one of these sites to give me her castoffs (sorry, can't think of a better term). Gusto ko lang ng ka-date paminsan minsan. Pre-screened na, creep-wise, nakatipid pa ako. Pati kalandian tinipid 😅

[Redishred Correa]

Kadalasan swertihan ang makahanap ng true love online. Basta ko go with the flow, give chance if pwede, then frank him or her if it works to fall.

I don't have any personal experience with online dating but I have two friends who were lucky enough to find their special someone through apps like tinder and okc. I think this will work if both of you are ready to meet in person and honest enough to give real information since we all know how many fake people are trolling these sites. Much better if you continue your communication thru skype or facebook if you're already comfortable enough with this guy or girl.

[120515]

my husband recommends okc to everyone and just gave our housemate (who is looking for someone) all of its advantages
i think physical interaction is also important. it's good to meet and talk face to face because you can really see, hear, and feel the sincerity of the person.

Share ko lang experience ko.May bago ako nakilala 2 weeks ago sa dating site.chat kami sa viber it so happen he works the same company sa friend ko.kaya pinakita ko pic ni guy sa friend ko. Boom! i found out married pala.. kasama nya sa work and kilala niya talaga. Bt we keep it a secret as if wala akong alam.Buti nalang pinakita ko yung pic sa guy. Kaya ingat lang tayo.

[lesliehallur]

^ ang lala sis. Sorry, judgmental ako pagdating sa ganyan. Bakit siya sasali sa dating website? Ok lang siguro if separated na pero tama ingat nga. Mahirap maging innocent homewrecker. Buti na lang nalaman mo agad.

[adolfa]

i've been using okc for around 2 months already. nung umpisa binaha ang inbox ko sa dami ng nag-pm. halos i-deactivate ko na (for the nth time) ang account ko lol.

anyway, may na type-an ako dati kaso after a few days di na sumasagot and i think nag relocate na siya (because of the nature of his work). sayang type ko pa naman sana.

ngayon naman chatting with a guy who's 11 years my senior. hesitant ako sa age pero other than that, ang sarap niyang kausap. i like him.

[akosimaiatot]

Share ko lang, I've met my British Ex bf from a website called Person.com (wala na si website) we've dated for almost 5 years I may say that I've finally found my soulmate thru him , Our incompatibility and differences makes our relationship more exciting but sad to say I have to let him go kasi hindi ako pwede mag move sa London because eventho I'm separated I'm still legally married for my jerk of a husband ,super sad na I have to let go of him kasi I know in my heart na he is the one, he loves my kids and knows everything about me but hindi talaga pwede so I have to let go and ngayon ko napatunayan na there's always be the one the got away
..Now i'm in a relationship with someone and so far ok naman

[honey.mae]

Yes, i work abroad so hindi naman bago ang online dating, i think most people in this place are into it din. i do go to a lot of expats events/activities and marami din naman akong nakikilala and nagyayaya ng date kaso di ako comfortable sa ganun, why, kasi if it didnt go well, for sure sa future events eh makikita ko na naman sila and medyo awkward for me (yes, im a bit weird) kaya prefer ko ang online dating

I would say lahat ng naka date ko so far ok naman, good job, not that bad looking (merong iba na di ko type hitsura pero di naman panget), and personality ok din, not perverts.

Lahat din nagrequest ng second/third dates pero 4 yung mga naka date ko ng medyo matagal (months). Yes medyo mapapraning ka sa kakaisip if nag oonline pa din si guy even na nagdadate na kayo (some friends of mine, ganito ang issue) ang ginawa ko eh once naka date ko na, dine delete ko na sila, i know most hindi gagawin yun pero i don't like checking eh and di mo din maiiwasang hindi mag check if connected pa din kayo haha and ayoko namang sabihan sila na idelete ang account nila, they should do that on their own accord, and yes i dont ask them or talk about their online activities even if i want to, technically kasi you can date several people until you find someone na may possibility na pang long term, some girls din told me to date more than 1 at the same time since selecting period pa lang naman, at first i dont like the idea but might consider it if this last one wont worked out

but out of the 4 naman, 3 dun ang sure akong loyal, yung pang 3rd lang ang hindi.

[Shadow Angel]

I met my husband sa online dating din... So far so good wala ako masabi sa ugali. Pero siempre hindi naman perfect may mga habbits na minsan hindi ko type pero carry lang o tolerable naman. Sana nga hindi sya magbago kung ano ang husband ko ngayon

[kwang sun]

alam nyo mga sis gusto ko mag online dating kaso natatakot ako eh.. at ako rin hindi naman ako mahilig mag share ng fb accoutn sa mga strangers so pano un ?

[adolfa]

^ ganyan din ako dati e. takot. but after i personally met one of the guys i was exchanging messages with, na-enganyo na rin ako. IMO tiyagaan lang, trust your instincts and kilatisin mabuti. i don't add them on fb din kasi.. hinihintay ko muna if we become exclusive then that's the time i'm gonna add them. so far everything's casual so hanggang whatsapp lang muna.

[Shadow Angel]

Hi sis Kwang sun wag ka matakot pero be wise lang ako instinct lang at observation ang ginamit ko don't trust easily. May friend ako muntik ng ma scam ng bf dahil sa online dating kasi ang mali lang sa kanya ang daling magtiwala. Malalaman mo naman kapag true good to be true like parang sobrang perfect ng life or sobrang tragic love life naman alam mo yun kinukuha sympathy mo. Kapag ang sabi agad ay hi sexy wanna cam to cam naku sis 90-100% pervert yan. Para sa akin fun and not boring ang online dating. Im lucky lang dahil sa meet up kung ano sila sa pagkakakilala ko ganun nga sila. Anyway 2 lang naman na meet ko si hubby at yub 1st na nakameet ko. Pareho silang gentleman. Hangga't maari lagi ng magkausap before meet up at ipaalam mo sa bff mo if may ka meet ka para just in case mayroon may alam kung sino kasama mo.Hindi ako ma fb kaya ang gusto ko lang viber and skype kung lahat ng details mo nasa fb mas mabuting wag na lang sa fb or kaya gawa ka na lang ng new account para sa mga makakachat mo.

Im one happy woman because of online dating.

[coldsiren]

I am really not into online dating. But recently a British guy added me in LinkedIn. He finds me cute daw. Dahil nagpapadami ako ng LinkedIn connections I added him. His account looks legit with all the endorsements and connections. Nagulat talaga ako na may ganung mag message sa akin. Kasi professional account yun at hindi dating site. Medyo nag iingat lang ako sa mga isasagot ko sa mga tanong nya. He asked me if I am married, I said no I am not married. Then he asked me if I already have children. I don't have any children, yun lang parang natatakot naman ako sa next question nya. Natatakot din ako at baka scammer yun. Naisip ko din yung 8-10 years na age gap namin. He started working when I was only 12 years old. Tinignan ko kasi yung work history nya sa LinkedIn nya since dun sya nag memessage.

Noon kasi may nag message sa akin na American sa ibang social media site like facebook. Yun dineretcho ako na he is looking for a Filipina wife! Di na talaga ako nag reply dun kahit pa yung pinay na sister in law nya ay kilala ko.

[chocnats]

Met my bf thru Tinder rin. Siya lang yung talagang mineet ko kasi I learned na 5 minutes away lang pala bahay niya sa bahay ko. Haha.

[honeybunny]

i guess depends sa online dating site. may iba kasing dating site or dating app na for fun lang or one night thing lang.. meron din namang dating sites specifically looking for serious stuff. i guess sa panahon ngayon more couples meet na through online dating so i guess that is ok.
