Hi, welcome.
I'm sure that many of us have been in a similar position, and there will always be doubts and suspicions in a long-distance relationship. It's a shame that a few bad filipinas have spoiled the reputation of all.
I agree with Dom in many respects, but I wouldn't necessarily see a red flag and back off just yet. A good filipina is very faithful and devoted.
Yes, sort out your current situation - you say it's not good, so be prepared to make the break.
If you are really serious, and believe that your chat mate might be also, then keep chatting - but do look out for suspicious signs. Tell us where this girl lives - if there is someone on the forum who comes from the same area, then there is a good chance that they have friends in common.
If you look in the 'Your Blog' forum, you should be able to find 'The Tale of Pete (and Ruby)'. However, to cut a long story short, I met Ruby online in April 2007. I came to visit her within 6 weeks of that first meeting, and again in July. My third visit, in September 2007, was to accompany Ruby back to the UK. We returned to Philippines in December 2007, married in February 2008, and I have no plans to go back to UK. Our daughter is due in about two months.
