I'm Here! Best Chance To Date A Cebuana?

[bows00]

Hey all, need some quick advice

Just got off the plane after a grueling 12+ hour plane ride to finally get to my hotel in Cebu. I have been looking forward to this vacation but my planning was not up to par.

Now a little bit of my background, I am single asian american traveling alone. Now my motives are not of a typical pure red blooded american. I want to meet someone special, but my time is limited. And I do not want to resort to bar girls because I have been there and done that...and it never worked out for me.

Now I will be staying at the Marriott for 6 days, hopefully that will give me enough time to meet that special girl. So in my current plan, I was hoping to take my new special girl to Plantation Bay for 3 days... Well, that was the plan when I made all the arrangements, so now I am here and will have to work the plan...

Now I have solicited some phone numbers from Cupid.com, but I always have doubts when it comes to internet dating. I always prefer to see the person first.. There's something about photos that can either be misleading or unable to capture a particular essence in a filipina that I find fascinating.

So for now, I am planning to walk Ayala Mall, go sight seeing, and talk to anyone I find attractive... any other suggestions? comments?

The way I'd look at it is, you have one week to find a 'lifetime' partner? Don't you think it's not fair for either one of you?

If I were you, I'd spend my time at ease and just have fun! :36_1_68[1]:

As for pictures, I have never believed in them myself but I did attempt some fully expecting the unexpected. So, don't be shocked if not. Take it as just another learning experience as long as everything else is intact! :bash:

But.. please, do tell us about your Ayala experience? I will be there soon myself and would love to know...

I'll leave the love life advice to others. Try to remember that you are being watched. Ayala is a shopping mall, not a brothel. There's already more then enough embarrassing behavior by foreigners making fools of themselves. Act appropriately and don't contribute.

That will be a matter of extremely good luck, such as just being in the right place at the right time. Its easy to find a girl. Its hard to find the right girl.

To improve your chances of meeting the right girl I would suggest staying away from Ayala and look in all the 'minimalls' and markets. The salesgirls all like to talk to you and if you find some that interest you then exchange text numbers. This is because there are not so many available girls in Ayala and if you did find one then she would expect the style of life she had become accustomed to (as in shopping at Ayala Mall every day).

Holy crap MikeB ....... :th_thbestpost: ....... if these idiots only knew how stupid and foolish they look to others ..... but I guess they really don't care ..... I watched one old fart holler "hey" at the girls and then literally leap up from his table at KcDo and run after every girl that met his fancy ..... I watched him do this at least 5 times ..... then he would come back to his friend and explain loudly enough for all to hear how much the girl liked him and that he had her phone number and was meeting her later that night at his place ....... yea right ..... and I just bought 2 acres of land in metro Manila ...... :mocking: ..... it's funny though not one of the girls came back to sit with him ..... :hystery: :hystery: ...... and he is there week after week ...... :bash:

Leave Cebu City move to a small town hotel. Always be very polite and just talk to the local people you may get lucky and be introduced to a nice lady.

Go to Church Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Nor Cal Mike,

You meant..

... and if a fool said to an old fool I like you then she must be fooling him :hystery: :hystery:

This reminds me of an old joke that went like this...

When I was 18, it was 12 o'clock...

When I was 35, it was 3 o'clock...

When I was 45, it was 4 o'clock...

When I hit 55, it went 6 o'clock...

After that, I had to Google it to find it :bash:

yes I agree with the other guys, Ayala is not the place to meet girls for a noob plus it's frowned upon by experienced expats as we know it has a reputation for stalkers and perverts.

As suggested by Dave, check out other places like markets. I'm happy to let on now I have a wife that markets are the best place to meet girls offline. In fact if you have the right attitude, a smile and not be looking like a stalker then you will even have girls throwing themselves at you or like I experienced, parents asking if you are single and pointing out their beautiful daughter...

Anyway, I think you have done this all wrong,with your limited time you should have had a girl or girls you are seriously interested ready to meet from meeting them online. That way all you would be doing for your six days is hopefully having a great time with one girl you like or be dating to find her. I met my wife online,we chatted for 3 months and phone calls. I met others in person over the years but when I was back in Aussie I wanted to spend time getting to talk to girls online. I met quite a few but when I seen a pic of my current wife and I talked to her there was only one girl I wanted to meet when I got there and I never looked back..

good luck! ;)
