Thanks everyone for your help and support to my inquiry regarding my application for tourist visa.

we already decided that he will come and visit me in the Philippines first on March as i got my 30 days holiday by that time.

This will be our first meeting personally. Will this give me a better chance in the future to be granted a tourist visa for London. i will be back in Egypt on April and planning to visit him in London by September and will apply here on Egypt. I am planning to visit him in London as my turn, just to be fair with him. ( I am afraid to get a visa denied if I apply now before I come back in Phil on March as I haven't meet him by this time and plus that will be for sure a factor that may affect the chance of being granted a visa.So i decided we will meet first in the Phil and then I will apply by August for a tourist visa in London. I dont know anyone in London except my best friend who is in college now and him).
Hope someone can advice me then..Thanks a lot.
