Going Public?

[Northerner]

Crazy idea, but why not go about introducing her the way you would any other girlfriend? If you start to draw distinctions between a girlfriend from the Philippines and one from the UK then you are no better than the people who assume all Filipinas are mail order

To me, the very fact you're so reluctant to announce your status suggests you are embarrassed by the situation. If I were you I'd think LONG and HARD about whether you really want this, or whether its just convenient for you right now. Because to me it doesn't sound like you're really committed to this girl, and that's unfair on her

Just my 2p

Matt, perhaps you have a point. But I have always kept my private life private, let's just say I have a disfunctional family As for being embarrassed! No, not at all.. And I think you will find a lot of members on this board had kept their relationships privae for a short while.

Once I get back from the phils then I will think over this some more.

LOL! I think he meant two pence.

... if people see that you truly are in love with each other and you're not just becoming her sugar daddy, they will accept the relationship.

Sugar Daddy Does being 8 years older make me a Sugar Daddy?

Well, there's really nothing wrong with keeping a relationship to yourselves if that's what you really want, but do it for the right reasons.

I don't think your age would do it, and I don't know how to define it without sounding like an . But you're all grown up, you know what it means. :P And in case you don't, here's a link to definitions (if you click it, don't blame me for what you read).

Aaaanyway, it sounds like you're just a private person. If you're just keeping this private because you kept your other relationships private too, then there's really no harm in telling others how much you love your girl. It's just a privacy thing that a part of you anyway. You have nothing to lose but more of her affection to gain.

One complaint I often hear from my sisters is how I hardly ever tell them about my life. I learnt that when I was a teenager and saw them bicker about the smallest and most useless thing

As for Rizza, I would be a proud man taking her along to my family functions (if you can call them that) and along to the cinema with my friends and their other halves

My close family know about my Pinoy bf, but none of my work colleagues do and this is purely because it's none of their business right now, I'll tell them when and if I want to tell them.
It's nothing to do with being embarased, I just like to keep things private.

I plan to tell my family some time after coming back.... With photographs of the two of us together! But it will probably find its way onto facebook as all my family, friends and colleagues are on there. Not that any of that bothers me I don't date in work any more

Good luck! Let's hope she's accepted. And if she isn't, well, they're not the ones planning to marry her so it doesn't really matter.

Well considering I have 4 sisters, split into 2 camps - camp a hates camp b and will never talk to each other... I don't think it matters how they feel Plus, I recently moved away from them and live well out of their gossip range

As long as you're both happy it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
