Hi Dave, yes many of us been through similar things and not only with filipina's, don't give up though mate, go out to the Phils have a good time, you don't need to go to the bars to meeta girl just smile at in the shops in the Mall, there are plenty of ovely ladies there, you don't have to meet them through the internet but it is way of getting to know them on a deeper level.
Just get out there enjoy it and be cautious. There are 000's of great looking girls waiting to fall in love with a guy like you over there and the majority of them are genuine.
