Hello from Bedfordshire

[marksroomspain]

Hi all, I'm Mike, I'm new here, and honestly didn't think I would have the need to join such a group (or was even aware one existed), until a couple of days ago. I know of a few Filipinos in my home town, many of them working as carers. Without exception they all seem to be really nice people. I'm separated, with children for around three years now, and somewhat disillusioned with UK women (sorry to those that are on this forum, but its just my experiences).

Basically, I've joined Filipino Cupid a couple of weeks ago, chatted to several girls, but one has stood out from the crowd, and I don't really know why, but she has had a big effect on me already. I think her smile has got me hooked. I know it will be difficult, but I'm really hoping this may go somewhere. I really think she is genuine, and so hope that she is, but am always wary of the sites scammers as well.

I would love to get to know some of you people, both those in a similar situation to me, and those that have done it and are in a happy fulfilled relationship. It's a very new concept for me and one I would never have considered entertaining a few months ago, but boy how a smile can change all that!

Hiya Mike, first of all may I say a warm and friendly welcome to our forum, there are a lot of people on here who have started that wonderful journey you may or may not embark on so I will throw my input into this...

Mike first of all yes there are scammers about and you normally find those that ask for money immediately or within a few weeks or months of getting to know them, just be careful and keep your wits about you, if she is genuine then she would never ask for this not before you have actually met her anyway.

I have been down this road as many others have who can testify to finding a right gem but on hindsight a few others and I mean just the minority who have had a bad experience.

I don't say this to put you off as most filipino woman are absolutely beautiful both inside and out but like I say just take one step at a time and if it feels good then you could take it further.

BTW I met my beautiful lady nearly 2 years ago on a dating site, met her in person 6 months later got married 2 months after that and now she is in the UK with me and our little boy so yes things can work out.

Good Luck Buddy

I may have already fallen for the money trap, and I have sent a token amount, only £20, but I want to show her that I am serious myself. She is young, and still in some sort of education/college. She asked for help with tuition fees. I know the alarm bells should be ringing, but to be honest every doubt I have had she has countered with ease, and all on camera. She is either a very professional scammer or very genuine, I guess only time will tell. And we have spoken on cam daily for well over a week. She has also shown me off to her neighbours and friends, which I hope is a positive thing.

As I say she is young, I know there are wide age gaps in the relationships, but are there any guides as to what is considered OK, I'm guessing its more anything goes in the Philippines, but more frowned upon in the UK? Also how successful have peoples relationships been when there is a big age gap?

mike I am not being funny when I say this but a philippina asking for money in the first week would bring up a red flag in my mind right away, just be very careful as they can be very smart with the scams. If she is on facebook ask her for her password because if she has anything to hide she won,t give it to you. you can see someones life story on facebook trust me lol.I went down the same route like you and I got lucky too like many on here but others ran into a nightmare, welcome to the forum
