Dating And Relationship Advice

If you were at a party 10 years ago and you told someone you had met your girlfriendover the internet, you would have got some very strange stares.  And if you told them you are dating a Filipino girl 5000 miles away in Manilla you have not actually met face to face yet, then that person would look horrified as they slowly backed away from you.

Towards the end of the 90′s, dating online was something you kept secret for fear of some light humiliation from your friends.  Fortunately, things have changed.  Internet dating has gotten over its difficult genesis and is now considered a mainstream way of meeting your partner.  In fact, more than 30% of marriages for generation X and Y started by meeting their partner on the net.

But there will always be some that resist change, especially when marrying a person from another country.  If you are cemented in your negative beliefs about dating a Filipino girl, then lets see if we take take a few of the myths you are holding on to and bust them.

Myth: Dating Asian Women Online Is Only For Geeks

Fact: The term ‘geek’ use to apply to someone who was good with computers when they were just being introduced into society.   Fast forward 25 years and computers are mainstream.  You probably have more processing power in your phone today than your first computer did.  And think about how much you use your computer.  You use it at work to hire employees and and send email.  You send updates and photos to family and friends around the country.  You book a holiday, movie or restaurant online.  You twitter, blog and update Facebook.  So why not meet someone online as well?

Myth: Dating a Filipina Woman Online Is Only For Desperate People

Fact: Have you looked at the economy lately?  With so many job losses, a lot of people are working longer and harder to protect their job.  Meeting someone online is not desperate, it is time efficient.  If you are a man and go to a nightclub, then it might take 3 or 4 visits to your favorite spot to meet someone who gives you a real phone number.  If you are there for 3 or 4 hours each time, that’s 16 hours.  If you are cramming out a couple of hours of overtime each day, who has the energy or time for this?  Joining a dating site, putting up a profile and contacting some interesting people will take about 30 minutes or so.

Myth: Dating A Filipino Girl Online Is Pointless – She Is Half A World Away

Fact: Surveys show that 2 out of every 5 single men online who are looking for a girlfriend join an Asian dating site.  Think about it, Asia is only half a day’s travel from the US and Europe.  Look around for specials and you can often get to Manila or Bangkok cheaper than spending a couple of days in New York.  There is no real difference in dating a Filipino girl as a long distance relationship to someone on the other side of your own country.
