A Filipina woman is no different from other women in the world, and there is always a way to win the heart of any woman. You just have to find the way and the rest will follow. Winning the heart of a Filipina is very simple. She is after all, just a human being like you who has the capability to live, love, and gets hurt.



Chances are you had been chatting with each other through the internet, exchanged photos and huge files of email, spent thousands of dollars in long distance telephone calls and seen each other on the webcam. Through your correspondence, you should have already been familiar with her interests, her likes and what makes her tick. You can capitalize on this to win her heart and make her yours.

When you decide to visit the Philippines and meet your Filipina girlfriend in person, how you adjust and fit in her environment will add to your plus points. A Filipina girl's family is very important to her. If scruffy children (could be her relatives or siblings) with runny noses creep up on you and climb on your lap, do not shoo the kids away or show you are offended because your Filipina girlfriend will think you feel too superior and can not accept her family.

Once again, you must remember that blood is thicker than water, and if she has to make a choice between you and her family, you will be left out in the cold. Remember the street joke about how she can find another husband but not another parents or family.

How you respond to these curious relatives and family members count a lot for your girlfriend. Honesty may not be a good virtue at this time especially if your girlfriend lives in a crowded neighborhood filled with gawking neighbors and you could not find anything good to say. Try to find something nice to comment on and be creative about it, too.

Bring along small gifts for your girlfriend and for her family if you can. These gifts need not be expensive but simple ones. You must have known by this time what your girlfriend is interested in. If she loves to read, books would come handy. Little things like this count and your girlfriend will feel you really care.

Little things like opening doors or pulling out her chair, lightly touching her elbow to assist her when you cross the street and pulling pleasant surprises are surefire ways to win a Filipina's heart. Treat a Filipina like a princess and she will be yours for life.

Another effective way to win her heart is to complement her on her looks. Now be careful about this, she may not look like Miss Universe but just find something at her what you really think is special about her. Do not by any means complement on something that is not true because she is very sensitive when it comes to her personal attributes. Make no comments about her being absent when nice legs or flawless skin were distributed! That would be suicidal.
