I met my missus back on the Net in 98, and we get on great, best thing we ever done.
As with any relationship, they can go wrong, and as we can not forsee the future, we have to go with what we feel now.
Only things to keep in mind are,
1) Is he single, divorced, etc. Which is probably yes, otherwise he wouldn't be going. If divorced, ask to see the paperwork.
2) Must have a decent stable job, as if the Filipino leaves the country the guy must support her. Here in UK she can't work or claim money for 2 years.
3) If they are both happy, their is nothing anyone else can usually do anyway as long as they are both adults.
4) Most guys who take the time to write and then visit are fine. The perverts/idiots usually go to Thailand for fun, or use mail order brides as they don't have the intelligence for courting.
5) The first time they meet is like any dating couple. Nervous, but buzzing with excitement. Just remind them of safe sex
6) It's usually best not getting married in the Philippines, as it makes the immigration into the West much harder.
Just let them get on with it, would you spend 88,000 pesos going to see someone you thought you would not like halw way around the planet?
