Developing A Relationship, The Best Way And How Long?

Didn't say I would live in Taiwan once I found the right person. Taiwan is just more convenient for me as far as searching.

 

 

Then you have me and no doubt many others  confused, as to what you are actually searching for  :unsure:

living with a Filapina in Taiwan, is going to be one heck of a difference to living with  a Filipina in the PI

It's a darn sight more expensive!

what I mean is I may move to Taiwan for other reasons. But it's a good starting ground for exploring. If I ever got involved I would definitely consider moving to the P I instead.

Here's a sad story for you and you can tell me were I went wrong.  I met a girl online early 2010.  She helped me over a bad patch in my life as my wife had died 18 months previously.  I didn't send money but said I would decide when I met her family.  7  3 to 4 weeks holidays later we get to august 2012.  Now each of those holidays were with her and her family.  Nice holidays they were as well.  The August holiday there's another bloke there but her mother told me it was her oldest son.  Yes the mother introduced me to her son.  In January 2013 I moved to the Philippines.  Now I moved because I was born in Singapore and had never been back.  I was going to use the Philippines as a base to move round SE Asia and I had the cash to retire.  I was a bit uncertain about the girl and this so called son but I still wanted to move.  I landed January 2013 and was met by her and her two kids one 7 and one 3.  I knew about the kids right from the start.  Four days after I landed she disappeared from sight for 3 weeks.  I sent a text to her saying  it was finished and I was going looking for someone who wanted me.  Got a reply but unfortunately to late.  I had met Grace by then.  So I texted her and told her it was over as I had met someone else.   Up to 2 months ago I was bombarded with messages that she was going to kill herself and I didn't care.  Well by then I didn't care.  Then Grace and I decided we should get married and I put it on my FB page. Within  a few hours I was invited to join another persons FB page.  Same girl but married to the brother.  So the whole time I spent time with her family they all knew she was married.  The moral of the story is meet them online, meet their families but if it still seems strange walk away.  And I didn't spend that much on her but it was still a shock

Very pertinent story.  A lucky escape. The mindset of the husband / boyfriend in such cases can be very difficult for us to understand.

Wow I am dumbfounded. Disgusted that she took advantage of your emotionally tender state as a widower too. Same thing happened to me here in Mexico. Even though I sat her down and told her where I was at in my life and we discussed every detail about both our situations she insisted she was ready for a relationship, only to break things off 2 days after the 2nd memorial of my wife's passing.  :bash:  :th_unfair:  :why-me:

Never, ever, under estimate the things that people will do fo money in the Philippines.

Not just in the Philippines. Nothing surprises me anywhere in this world anymore.
