Nearly a week ago now, I met a 34yo Filipino lady via the cherryblossoms.com website. Since we met, we have chatted online for more or less 10 hours. We've also spoken on the phone once for about half an hour. We seem to be getting on pretty well so far.

My new friend is aware that I've just come out of a "relationship" and that I was scammed.

From the start, I told my new friend that all I'm looking for right now is a friend and nothing more as I'm still getting over what has happened to me. She said that was ok and she understood.

The thing is, in the week that I've known this lady, we've gone from us not knowing each other, to her telling me "mahal kita" and that she's always thinking of me. As I don't want to hurt her, I've pointed out a couple of times we're just friends right now, which has ended up upsetting her anyway!

For me, the whole thing feels a bit full on, but not knowing a true caring Filipino lady, I don't know if this is "normal".

Can anyone help me please?
