As we have always emphasized, dating Filipinas is not that tricky of a task.
These gorgeous women are very appreciative that even the simplest of things you do are enough for them to understand your feelings.
Take Filipinas to dinner and you will be at the receiving end of their sweet smiles. Come up with little surprises and you will have them singing praises about you to their family and friends.
Even so, there are still some unfortunate cases where foreign men are unable to get past the first date with these ladies.
You might wonder why this is the case, especially since Filipino women truly are easy to please.
No amount of cash in the bank or superficial aspects will ever determine your chances of getting these ladies to fall for you. What matters to them most are the innate qualities that will show just how much of a faithful and loving man you are.
For starters, there are a few vital steps that most guys skip when they start their romantic pursuit. If you want to know what it’s like dating a Filipina, you must understand that second dates are just as important as the first ones.
Don’t be the kind of person who ends up making the first date with a Filipino woman the last one.
1. Build a connection even before your first date.
We want to emphasize this because not a lot of men consider this an important step.
It’s a given that you and your Filipina date would have some form of communication even before you meet or go out for the first time. You must utilize this to build a connection with her, something more than the usual polite greetings and short replies.
Show her your personality even if it’s just through texts and calls. Let her discover your fun and romantic side as well.
This way, she will feel at ease with you to some degree knowing that you are not a complete stranger.
Plus, having a bit of knowledge about each other can help your date go smoother. No more awkward “tell me about yourself” moments, and you’ll be able to move forward to more interesting topics.
This will then translate to wanting to know more about one another — giving you the perfect opportunity to have a second date to look forward to.
It’s an overall win-win situation.
2. Keep your first date low-key.
There are men who want to show off just so they can impress the girl they like. That’s all fine and well, except it might become a standard your date would expect every time you go out together.
Are you confident that you can always take it to a higher level on the next few dates? If not, stick with being simple and classic. While spontaneity is very much encouraged, we simply mean that you shouldn't raise the standards each time you want to wow Filipinas.
Believe it or not, simplicity is one of the best ways to these women’s hearts.
Dinner dates and afternoon coffee are still welcomed and appreciated.
Keeping your first date within your budget also relieves pressure on your end. There is no need to keep up with the posh image, and instead, you can enjoy your time with your girl.
Keep in mind that starting slow, sure, and steady is always better than running out of ideas on how to have a great time after just one night.
3. Hold back on the public display of affection.
Different people have different levels of comfort. What might be alright with you can be very unsettling for others, especially your date. Thus, it’s only right to keep the level of physical affection to a minimum.
Filipinas might seem warm and welcoming, and they might feel comfortable around you, but that doesn’t mean they would be fine with getting physical on the first date.
Make it a habit to ask for consent on anything that matters.
Public displays of affection are not frowned upon in their culture, but maintaining a comfortable space between you will effectively leave them wanting.
4. Always remember your manners.
How you show up and present yourself will greatly determine if a second date is anywhere near the horizon, which is why you must always remember your manners — wherever, whenever.
Say thank you and ask for forgiveness when needed. Do your best to be on time, if not earlier. These actions are enough to show a Filipino woman that you are a respectable man, on top of being kind and lovable.
Quick tip: One of the signs a Filipina likes you is if she gives you a warm smile every time you manage to show your good manners.
5. Be proactive in asking her out again.
All your efforts to wow her are needed to land those succeeding dates. However, all will be for nothing if you miss this critical step.
During your first romantic night out, don’t forget to ask her out again before you part ways. This is the fastest, if not the most secure, way to be sure that a second date is in order.
To avoid looking shallow about it, create a plan with her input considered. Ask her what she would like to do and where she would like to go.
Being forward and considerate are some of the traits Filipino girls like in men.
When dating Filipino women, there’s no need to go all out with romantic antics and crowd-attracting surprises for them to know your genuine intentions. Just be your honest and confident self, and put in the right amount of effort you believe beautiful Filipino women would want from their man.
If you aim for a long term type of relationship, simply implement all the steps necessary to help you land a second date. As a result, you can assure yourself of more successful ones.
Keep these tips in mind and your heart in the right place, and we are sure that the relationship you wish to have with Filipinas is just within reach.
