Never used a dating Site I found My missus by pure chance.

But for those who have never been to Phill but want to find a Asian/Phill Partner. Before doing so read on this site and others about the culutre. At first im sure you will think everyone is out to scam you but not the case im sure.

A buddy is looking for a Phill partner and has met girls previously now im no expert but in the last 6-7 years I have been imersed in Phill culture to a degree and things I notice seem to totally pass by my worldy wise mate.

Dont expert the person to think or act like a Brit. Pinays who speak English and can appear western and know much about western culture can make you think oh she is just like a British Girl. She is not and if you try and read her like a Brit girl you will get it badly wrong..

Things that seem to help

learn some Tagalog goes along way trust me.

Learn some popular culture in Phill, Phills are very inward looking even though they are immersed in western and easten culture.

Phill culture that is most important to many phill foods. Phills talk about food like brits do the weather!!!

learn some american phraseswords Ie garbage, diapers, Sidewalks the English they write and speak is american not English.

Talk about shopping and what not ie general costs. If they seem to be inflated (check with people on here) then warning bells should be sounding!!

Be prepare to text or im at lot at any possible waking moment Pinays love to Chika chika..

If a Pinay your dating is not communicating with you every moment she can (if its within her means) then alarm bells will be ringing if I was you.

Pinays will generaly be very romantic and think a man is a man and a woman is a woman. Romance her once you are comfortable with one another dont forget to send e cards. emails and possibly real letters if possible (Sending money and gifts should wait a while)

If you can afford and it seems right send a gift rather than money. She may be cautious and not want to give her address for various reasons including the fact houses in phill often are dam hard to find!

Gifts can be ordered from online firms in Phill for delivery which avoids customs and the postal service. I can remeber using and the plus points are there is not a long delay from ordering to arrival.

I would also keep a log of all chat both if things turn serious so you have a record for visa applications but also if things dont add up worth looking back on what was said..
