Well said Iain.
This idea of an apartment seems so wrong to me.
Why start out worrying? I thought love meant trusting each other!
Take time to get to know her in the usual way that most people have, i.e. communicate by email, phones and texts etc.
See if all is well as the time goes on.
DON'T be too hasty as you will repent at leisure.
Part of the beauty of loving and courting a Filipina is surely NOT to worry about her lovers!!!!
Trust yourself and trust her and she will surely repay your trust with affection over years, blackcat22.
