Looking for a Filipino Husband in the Philippines

[lbechner]

Thanks Sophie. Good advice. It will be hard for me I see. To add insult to injury, I haven't been Catholic since I was 18 and refuse go back. With 85% of the population being staunch Catholic really limits me. I work for AG&P in Bauan where we currently have 1,500 employees, mostly men. The gossip mill tells me that there are many men there interested in me but they only want one thing. That green card to the US. Unfortunately, I don't intend to go back there unless it's to visit family. I don't want a guy who only wants a crack at getting to the US. Frankly, the US is a hard place to live even if you are a citizen and I just can't get most people here to understand that. It's even worse now with the poor economy.

I've been here for a long time now. I've tried the online dating and such but it rarely pans out. Like you said, most are intimidated by me. They say hello and such but rarely get beyond that. I actually have more conversations with my students than anyone else but, as most have just graduated university, they are far too young and too immature for me.

I understand the laws on divorce and have had my share of "separated" but not annuled guys here. I'm looking for a husband, and I don't want to be a mistress. Maybe I should have stayed in India. My friends there were trying to arrange a marriage for me but, at the time, I didn't feel I was ready.

Exactly, you should not waste your time on hopeless guys who would only use you and take advantage of you, you deserve better than that. I'm sure someone worthy of your love will come along, someone who will love you back thesame way or more, without any hidden agenda.

I think another advice i could suggest is for you to be active in any group activities in your area or in any other nearby areas, hang out with as many people as you can, make yourself accessible. The more other people have you around, the more they get used to you and the less intimidated they will be with you. And don't limit yourself and your chances on love, as they say "In love, age doesn't matter". There's no young or old as long as you both feel something for each other and he is mature enough to carry on the relationship to the next level and you know your love will surpass beyond the age thing. You can also get into fitness club, enroll in a gym close to your area, participate in sports activities, be pro-active, have fun and enjoy life. Before you know it, you will be meeting a lot of interesting guys as good prospects while having fun along the way.
