The Filipina dating scene has its own peculiarities that derive from the country’s culture and traditions, but the considerations one should take are pretty much similar to those in line with females of all races. For those who are new to the Filipino dating scene, here are a few tips to guide you.
Pre-date Preparations
It’s very impractical for you to show up on your first date unshaven or looking dirty and smelly. Filipinas are brought up to be hygienic. In fact showering or bathing daily is a common practice among Filipinos. If you aim to impress her, the first thing you’d want to do before the date is to take a good, long bath. It doesn’t cost you anything to look good, smell nice and take a bath. Of course, you have to make other hygiene considerations as well. Make a personal check before the date such as:
-Is there dirt under your nails?
-Do you have dental hygiene?
-Is your hair presentable? Have you recently had a haircut? Have you combed/styled it?
-Are your shoes clean and polished?
-Are you wearing clean, ironed clothes?
-Have you shaved?
The saying first impression lasts, applies strongly to the dating scene. Nobody is expected to look immaculate every single day. But looking unclean and smelling awful will give your date’s notion that you’re an unhygienic person. This will prevent her from wanting to see you again and finding out what a great person you really are inside.
The Actual Date
Be there at the time you’ve agreed on, or five minutes early. Even if “Filipino time” tends to operate at least a half-hour late, a Filipina might think she is being stood up if you do not get there on time. It is common courtesy to arrive before she does. Just don’t get there overly early- it may pressure her into speeding up her pre-date preparations and make her frazzled.
Be a gentleman. Hold the door for her, let her walk through the door first, pull her chair, and be polite to her alongside to other people around her. When it comes to Filipina dating in particular, a gentleman is always favored. Filipina like to feel special by treating her like a lady she’ll think that you’re a fantastic person.
Don’t be stingy with sincere compliments. If you think her hair looks great, tell her so. The best compliments are those that are genuinely meant, and specific. Women love compliments but too many of them, and too frequent, will make her think you are resorting to flattery. Do not tell her white lies, such as telling her she looks very slim when she is in fact, quite chubby. She will see through them.
Listen to what your date has to say. Women like men who are truly interested in what she has to say. Refrain from hogging the conversational floor or from talking about yourself all night. While you would like to impress her, it will have the opposite effect if she will end up thinking that you are disgustingly self-centered
Don’t just act as if you’re listening. Ask questions when you’re curious or interested about certain things she said, which you will be anyway, if you truly pay attention.
Pick up the tab. Never make the lady pay on your first date. It’s common in the Filipino dating scene that men should pay the bill. If the two of you enter a commitment, however she’ll no longer expect you to pay every bill, you’ll instead share the bill or make such dates where she’ll pay the bill for you this day and you’ll pay on the next.
After the Date
There is no right answer to whether you should kiss on the first date or more. This depends strongly on your date’s interpretation or body language if she wants to do it with you or not.
There is no pressure in calling after the date. In fact if you do not intend to call her then you don’t have to. However if you’re interested for a second date, get her number give her a call and set up for a second date, of course that is if she wants a second date.
The Filipina dating scene has evolved, along with the rest of the world. Your success in it will depend largely on your chemistry as a couple. Don’t get discouraged if your first try doesn’t turn out so well. Consider it as valuable practice for when the right one comes along.
