filipino hospitality seem OTT to foreigners. my parents was very accommodating to past bfs filipino or my ex brit hubby. i tell you from my experience that filipino parents dont show hospitality to 'marry off' their daughters to foreigners. when i eventually married my brit bf my father told me that letting me go is the hardest thing he has ever done in his life. no parent wants their daughter to go off to a foreign land into the 'unknown'.Originally Posted by triple5
I don't know if this is true of all Filipinas and their families, I'm just going off my 2 experiences with girlfriends here. The first one obviously wanted to get married asap, and had a major strop the last day because I hadn't proposed. Her and her family went completely overboard to make me feel at home and welcome. This time, I get the impression my gfs family are a bit wary of me if anything, just curious of my intentions I guess. I think they're warming to me more now they can see how serious I am about their daughter
I know most filipinos are naturally friendly, but with the first experience it was definitely OTT and all for the benefit of getting their daughter/sister married off to a foreigner. I'm not saying any guy who goes over and meets a friendly family is being sucked up to for that reason. I'd just be a bit suspicious myself if I went through that again.
