When money is involve in the early stage of the relationship can be very misleading. I still strongly believe giving or taking money is wrong if you want to have a lasting relationship. The foundation of a great friendship is love not money.

I think that a lot of us British men who meet Filipinas in person (I see there are some women here also with their Filipino man) soon realise that we have to help support our Mahals, especially if she has to do many things to get married, and then the long process of applying for the Visa.

It would be nigh-on impossible for many Filipinas in the province to pay for everything.
Even buying clothes and make-up is expensive for many Filipinas.

I think asking for / receiving money on dating sites can end in tears, but there are also lots of happy couples who have met that way too
