Where to Meet Filipinas: Best Places & How to Talk to Them
Proven strategies for meeting quality Filipinas online before your trip and in-person at malls, churches, bars, and through referrals.
Where to Meet Filipinas in the Philippines
Wondering where to meet Filipinas? There are millions of single Filipinas in the Philippines and they will be open to chatting with you much more readily than most Western women would. Here is how and where you can meet them.
Online dating and Facebook
Nowadays, most people use the leverage of social media sites like Facebook or dating sites like FilipinaMeet, Tinder, Filipina Cupid, or Christian Filipina to meet possible Filipina partners.
This is a great way to initiate meeting someone. Join one of these dating sites and the many free Filipina dating sites on Facebook.
Strategic location planning
Look for Filipinas that you find desirable in the age range you want and send them a friend request and start chatting. If you have mutual attraction, arrange to meet when you get there, but do this with at least four or five Filipinas.
The Philippines has over 7,000 islands, so make sure you only contact Filipinas in the places you are going to go to. If you contact Filipinas from many different places, you will spend most of your vacation traveling in trikes, taxis, buses, and planes.
Most people who visit the Philippines on vacation usually go to one or two areas, such as a big city like Manila or Cebu, and then spend time in a resort somewhere on an island like Palawan or Boracay. In that case, only send messages to Filipinas who are from that city or on or close to that island.
It is a numbers game
The trick is to arrange meetings with as many Filipinas as possible, as not all profiles on the internet are a true reflection of the person. Some Filipinas have used old photos or filtered photos in their profile. You may be let down when you see them in person.
Also, you might not like the person’s personality even though they seemed fine when chatting online. Just like in sales, it is a numbers game. Even though you may meet four or five Filipinas on your vacation, you might not like or hit it off with any of them, or they might not like you.
Referrals from friends
In the sales industry, the best future customers come from satisfied customers who refer new customers, and it is the same with relationships.
If you have friends or associates in the Philippines they would likely know single Filipinas, whether they be family, a relative, friend or fellow employee from their work.
Tell them you are coming to the Philippines and if they know anyone who could be a good match for you. If they know someone get them to give you the Facebook page of that Filipina and if you like what you see, send her a friend request.
Bars and nightclubs
Not all Filipinas in bars are bargirls of course, so bars and nightclubs are a place you can meet Filipinas as well. They are generally much more approachable than Western women and easy to get in communication with.
They love smiling, joking, laughing, dancing, singing and generally having fun. Joke (not sexual jokes), smile and laugh when you are with them, as they do not like seriousness or pressure, and also get on the dance floor or sing along with them.
Be yourself and have fun
You do not have to do anything extraordinary with Filipinas, just be yourself and be fun and lighthearted while showing interest in them, and you will be surprised how many will be attracted to you.
Learn basic Tagalog
One thing they love is when you talk their language. Basic words and terms like kumusta, mabuhay, salamat, walang anuman, masarap, oo, hindi, bakit are easy to learn.
Go to Google translator, write down a list of these terms and use them with her. She will be thrilled you are respecting her culture by learning the language and ask her more terms to learn.
Malls are perfect meeting spots
Malls are another place where you can randomly meet and talk to Filipinas, as malls are very popular because people want to escape the heat and humidity of the Philippines.
Most Philippine malls have public areas to sit and start conversations with Filipinas. There are usually dozens of cafes and restaurants in malls where you can sit near Filipinas and meet them.
Tell the Filipinas you meet that you are by yourself and would like to sightsee and if they would tour you around, and many will as they are helpful people, usually.
Word of caution about freelance prostitutes
Some malls in the Philippines have freelance prostitutes on the prowl, so avoid those types if what you truly want is a long-term relationship.
Catholic churches
If you are a Catholic, you have a huge advantage in this Catholic country and just need to go to one of the many Catholic churches in the Philippines where there is no shortage of single women.
Pick a church and go regularly to it while you are on vacation, and look around to find someone you like and sit next to them if possible. Also, find out about any social gatherings or activities the church engages in, and go to that and contribute in any way you can.
Most women like men who are kind and charitable, like any sane person.
Start connecting before you arrive
FilipinaMeet makes it easy to connect with relationship-minded Filipinas before your trip. Start conversations, arrange meetups, and arrive with real connections already established.
