I guess it's expected that some guys would get intimidated with you specially with your status as an expat, unless you meet someone of thesame caliber as you. But here's a bit of bad news - you can rarely find a single filipino guy within your age bracket. Most men your age are married. And we have no divorce in the philippines. But some couples who can't stand each other anymore go through legal separation or annulment if they can afford it (annulment is quite dear in the philippines). Others just simply separate without any legal paper works - simpler and cheaper. But this should not discourage you. I'm sure you would meet some available filipino guys in their mid to late 30's at work, through friends or through your local church (if you are attending one). You just need to broaden your network of friends, meet a lot of people, make a lot of friends. I'm sure one of them will lead you to your mr. right. And don't worry about initiating a relationship there, were not in the olden times anymore. Filipino men are more modern, liberal and open minded now. I'm sure they won't mind you initiating a relationship, just be subtle though, you don't want to come out too strong and aggresive, you might scare them off. So i hope you find what you're looking for. I'm sure someone special is out there for you. And i hope you find him soon. Just be careful in choosing and make sure you get to know them well first, before starting a relationship. Goodluck in your huntingOriginally Posted by lbechner
Hi everyone. I'm and American woman, 47, no kids, non-drinker, smoker and am employed. I live in Batangas City. There are few places to meet men here and then they are too shy to speak to me because of my status. Does anyone know any single Filipino guys in the area to introduce me to? It is improper for me to initiate a relationship here in this culture. Anyone able to help or give advice? Thanks! I just want a nice man with a good work ethic that can deal with an expat.
