    You need to be bold Jaice - I remember a senior (but long absent) member here Tawi saying you just need to go up and make the opening eg "Excuse me are you Filipana........" I've done the same at ATM's, checkout queues, my dentists new nurse, Holiday Inn bar staff etc etc

    If you don't ask you don't get !

    Don't forget that Tawi would often speak with them in their own dialect.......that makes a massive difference...

    I'm very confident when it comes to diagnosing and repairing motor vehicles, I'm renowned in my gym, friends confide in me, family depend on me, but I'm not very good at making conversation with women I've never met before in the outside world that don't speak very good English. Whenever I had approached, greeted and introduced myself to a Filipina lady in similair scenarios to those mentioned above, I feel they are too shy or even intimidated therefore killing the vibe. I think by meeting someone online they will feel safer to conversate and get to know me, at least that's the theory hehe

    I see your point Jaice - Filipinas will speak pretty good English but there might be a shyness aspect. I think you need to grasp the nettle rather than risk losing the opportunity, walking away thinking "she was gorgeous I wish I'd opened my mouth"

    Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Just my thoughts. Good luck
