My journey to finding a Filipina girlfriend...

[redfeather]

I am a retired Army Colonel who spent his entire career in the Combat Arms in the Infantry, Cavalry, and Field Artillery.  I returned from deployment in 2010 and my American wife divorce raped me (same thing happen to many of my friends).  I spent about five years trying to date American women (AW), and finally decided that feminism and PC, and #metoo movements and all the other American BS has ruined any kind of relationship chance one might have in America.  I turned to overseas dating.  I first started in Russia and Ukraine, and I dated several women from Russia, and I flew to Ukraine and spent ten days and dated around 5 different women in Ukraine.  I never felt that I could fully trust these Russian and Ukraine women because I saw many of the same things in the Russian and Ukraine women that I saw in AW.  I came back a year ago from Ukraine, and decided to move my search to the Philippines.  Wow, what a difference it is in the Phils.  I was chatting with about 5 women and over several months I moved to just chatting with one woman.  I am 56 years old and she is 30 years old.  She is in Zamboagna and we video chat at least twice each day and we send text messages all thru the day.  I am flying to Manila in September to see her for ten days.  She works as a nurse in the local hospital there.  I find her to be very mature and sweet and kind, and we just click well together.  I am very thankful that I moved my search to the Philippines.  I found this Blog from Dave who sent me the link.  I will keep you posted on how our relationship moves and flows.  Thanks for a great Blog to learn from.

Well Colonel, I commend you for expanding your horizon, more towards SE Asian countries.  As you may know, it is a "target enriched environment".......he, he. 

On behave of my fellow veterans in this wonderful forum, I would like to call out "attention on deck -- Colonel Redfeather arriving"!  As far as I know, you're the most senior among us and we would like to pay tribute to you sir, by announcing......hey guys, 1st round of drinks is on the Colonel!

Welcome redfeather.  It sounds like you are on the right track with this girl you have met as well as locating this friendly informative forum.  Just take your time and get to know each other as well as her family.  If you haven’t had much dealings with the filipinos you will soon learn you will become part of their family and with this comes responsibility .  The members here are very knowledgeable and can explain or help with most questions you may have.  Good luck and again welcome.

Good luck with your girl. Having said that be open to change. I like you was talking to a girl before going there for 3 months. When I got there I quickly realised it was not going to work out. 

 

I decided I may as well just enjoy my time there and having met a few girls within 3 weeks I met my wife to be.

Topcat,

What were the things that made you quickly realize it was not going to work out?  I need to know things and questions to ask right now to try and do the best vetting that I can before I arrive in September.  Any mentor ship is much appreciated because I wasted time in Ukraine, and I do not want to continue doing this.  I have already asked her about support and money that might be asked of her family, and we are in agreement so far on this important topic.  So, knowing what items caused you to know it would not work out...will be helpful for me going forward.  Thanks.

I am very intuitive. I immediately felt there was no real and substantial connection. I had a picture in my head of who this person was which was not based in reality. When we spent a couple of days together I knew she was not for me. 

 

She did nothing wrong. It was my mistake. 

 

I can't describe how I knew.
