Kind of thought it before we met, but held back as I didn't want to get my hopes up. When I met her for the first time I was a 100% sure
I had no plans to fall in love, or go searching anywhere for a girlfriend, either on line or face to face. The last thing I expected was that I would have a Filipina g/f. I was planning on enjoying my new found single status for a bit longer. My marriage had had just broken up and I was in Singapore for a holiday with one of my friends who works out there. My friends idea of a good night out was a bit too rowdy and drunken for me and usually ended up in a seedy bar somewhere, so I escaped from him after 3 nights and was out for a quiet drink on my own, and ended up in a Chinese Karaoke bar for the local Singaporeans on the outskirts of town and noticed a very pretty asian girl singing. After she had finished her song I beckoned her over and got chatting to her. I discovered that she was half Chinese and half Filipina, but lived in the Philippines. I then spent the next 4 days and evenings with her, and realised I didn't want to leave her on my last night. She bombarded me with text messages while I was waiting for my connection in Dubai, and it was then that I decided I really wanted to keep in touch with her and would book a flight to Manila as soon as I got home.
We met by coincidence in Orchard Street in Singapore, after a first coffee and a chat, we met a few more times over my stay there, and I was hooked.
Seems to be the 'main event' Singapore, that's where I met mine

Lots of Filipina's in Singapore - especially in Orchard Towers (or so I have been told)
Well I was 100% committed to getting on that plane & I didn't have any doubts...Meeting in person is certainly different, but obviously better.
It all seemed natural, nothing false about it at all.
I must be the only one to meet their missus in the phils then!
I think I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with here after we went away for a weekend whilst my ship was in port. Probably 4 weeks after we first met. Think we got married 2 years later.

well after talking to emmafor ages the more we talked the more we had in commen, i did not want to fall in love because of my divorce and hatred of womenbut fool steve did not realize the charms of emma, its taken a time of growing and knowing each other that i do know i love emma, its the smile when greeting and the waves from her that i think how lucky i am
sorry chaps for them tears but tears of joy there are
no subseastu, my emma is from the phils too, i was thinking of you today anyway , was delivering to marstons on shobnall road and smelling that there drink and you came in mind
I like a pint of pedigreeOriginally Posted by stevewool
just 1 does me in not a big drinker like a glass or 2 of wine though
I was the same, I loved her before we met in real.Well I was 100% committed to getting on that plane & I didn't have any doubts...Meeting in person is certainly different, but obviously better.

I dare say I will get ridiculed for that
I knew when I was on a good thing, I wasn't going to let her go, not that she wanted to go anyway
Must admit its not often a grown man has admitted to thinking of me. Easy sailor!!!! A week to go and I'll be back home in the land of hops and ale. MY dads dad was quality controller at Bass after the war. But these days its getting difficult to find a good pint of that, so pedi is the more popular down my way. The first pint is always the best, but I like to follow it up with a few others......just to make sure obviously! Though the wife never seems overly impressed that its the first thing I do after 5 weeks away.
"Hi honey I'm home", quick kiss, slap on the ****, open fridge!

Me too Steve, I would prefer a nice glass of Merlot, Shiraz, Chateau Neuf de Pap, Zinfandel or Cabernet Sauvignon to a beer. I can't drink white wine though.
Although I have been know to down the odd bottle of Red Horse or San Mig Light when I've been in the Phil's
Theres nowt like a bit of pedi belly the following morning. My missus makes me stand in the garden alot! Can't think why?!I like a pint of pedigree

I doubt it...We're all here for a common reason & it's interesting to know, but at the end of the day it's personal.
Do like a good bit of red wine myself as well. Can't drink cheap white though as I find it very acidic. Strangely if the bottle of white is over about 6 or 7 quid a bottle its not too bad on the ol guts. THe more expensive the better!!!Me too Steve, I would prefer a nice glass of Merlot, Shiraz, Chateau Neuf de Pap, Zinfandel or Cabernet Sauvignon to a beer. I can't drink white wine though.

but all this wine is ment to be shared
THats true. EVery situation is different and I think most would admit that they never expected to fall in love when they did. I certainly didn't, I was enjoying being a young, free, single sailor about town. THen bam there she was. At the end of the day its all about getting to know your partner and if thats face to face or using modern technology then so be it. No shame either way.I doubt it...We're all here for a common reason & it's interesting to know, but at the end of the day it's personal.

Drunk many a pint of it, but these days I don't drink much at all...Did have a can of Bass earlier
We wanted to throttle each other the other day.Cheers Sim..you are a good poster..I like you
So once you'd fallen for your lady, how many visits and how long was it before you decided to propose and eventually get married?
well me and emma has only meet once had a 4 week visit, time and money was my problem but if all goes well and we get the visa we shall be married this year over here if no visa be married over there this xmas
Third meeting, proposal. Maybe next year we may be hitched, but lots of saving and planning first.
I've put 'before we met' but the truth is I was in love with Vimvie BEFORE I'd even heard of her! BEFORE I'd even seen or heard her! I dreamed and had a strong desire for a girl like Vimvie..She was on my mind before and I therefore attracted her into my life! Vimvie herself must have dreamed of coming to Britain! The thoughts come first...the attraction follows! It's fact as far as I'm concerned!

Great thread Boss....i admit to being very apprehensive on arrival at NAIA to meet Arlene for the 1st time.
Id flown her up to Manila from Bohol early that day and she'd checked in to the Hotel.Didnt she fall asleep and keep me waiting an hour and a half!!!
Shows how keen she was to meet me huh....
Like a lot i guess i wasnt looking for a relationship and before we met i had suspicions that i would fall in love!
This was easily confirmed before the end of our 1st 3 weeks together.
I feel so lucky to have found happiness and fulfilment and a 2nd chance!
We are now together almost 2 years.Finalised her annulment in January and about to apply for her tourist visa before the end of June.
Im curious to know how many of us here have survived a disastrous relationship/mid life crisis and looking forward to spending long lazy evenings with our Mahal?
As Steve rightly says "saving n planning"
Rgds to all
i had just come out of a couple of bad thai relationships when a friend of mine suggested i come over to the PI. i got there a day before i met up with him as he was due to fly in 24 hours later. i got talking to this girl and talked and talked- i was never looking for anything at all but that night i only had eyes for her.
from my point of view i guess it was love at first sight- i wasnt overawed by the beauty of asian girls- i had just survived 2 of them
alli can say is i was smitten but cautious- i think myrna waa cautious more than smittenbut over a lot of yahoo chats and texts we found we had a lot in common in what we wanted
the rest is history- and 4 trips later here we are married with a visa in hand- and in a few weeks she will be coming here to start our new life together
