What are his other filipino friends like with you and your family?

Maybe its fear of saying the wrong thing? Has he had a past relationship go belly up?
As James says quite a few Phill blokes I meet are very quiet and reserved it seems when talking to me yet joke around with their mates.
I put that down to our lack of English/Tagalog on our respective sides. They always come out of their shell after a while and after a beer or two normally.

Another question what is he like around his own family?

Turning the point of view round im often very quiet in front of my Wifes family and some of her Friends. Wh
Hi there
most of his friends are good with me yes.
It's one thing being reserved but in my opinion you can still push yourself to ask people just a couple of questions about themselves etc.
Very difficult for anyone to get to know his personality this way.
We tried him with some drink, but he ended up being very similar, only he drank the whole of my mum's bottle of brandy when she wasnt looking!!
