Discover 4 of the simplest yet most effective ways to win the hearts of Filipino women.

Dating a Filipina, whether via the traditional route or online dating, is generally a difficult endeavor. Finding a girl whom you can get along with despite your different cultural orientation is hard, but winning them over is even harder. Sure, there are a lot of ways to foster a relationship. But before any of that, you have to convince a Pinay to go out with you in the first place.

Winning over a Filipina’s heart will take some work. But the thing about work is that it can be done, and winning someone over is no different. It just takes the right application of effort and with the right effort, dating a Filipina should eventually lead to a happy ending.

Here are a few tips on dating a Filipina woman

Be the Right Kind of Confident
Filipino women generally like confident men. But the culture of the Philippines is still very much rooted in traditional values. This means that while confidence is appealing, too much of it can also be a turn-off. The trick is to be confident enough to be appealing to women, but not so confident that you’d come across as overbearing.

If you're wondering how to win over a Filipina, finding the right balance will be absolutely vital.

Respect her Boundaries
Modern dating in the Philippines is not as restrictive as it used to be. But physical affection is still something that many women in the Philippines shy away from, especially in public. Most Filipino women may be okay with you holding their hands, but anything more than that may be off-limits.

Being a gentleman is a fairly safe route towards respecting a girl’s boundaries so as not to offend them. Once a Filipina’s opinion turns on you, she’s not likely to give you a second chance - especially not at the courtship stage.

Dress to Impress
The thing about the Philippines is that it is a tropical country. Which means that it’s pretty hot and humid. That means that most people don’t go around wearing full suits or even long sleeves. The culture is also very casual. While most people will generally dress up for important events, most Filipinos just put on jeans and a T-shirt.

This means that coming in overdressed can make you seem ridiculous and maybe a little pretentious. While looking ridiculous can be played with, looking pretentious isn’t something that can be brushed off.

So don’t go too hard on clothing. Dating a Filipina is something to dress casually for. Jeans and a well-pressed shirt should generally be fine. It’s also important to groom properly and smell nice. The country’s heat can cause one to sweat and make body odor more potent.

Win Over her Family
Assuming that the first, second, and third dates go well, there’s one important milestone that comes. That’s when you meet the family and it’s an important stage in the relationship. One word from the right relative and a Filipina will end the relationship. Filipinos are big on family. As such, their opinions are of paramount importance.

Trying to date a Filipina is going to mean having to win her family over as well. Without them, a relationship may be a nonstarter.

Winning over Filipino women will take a fair bit of effort and a fair bit of maneuvering. But it is entirely possible if you are only patient and persistent enough. Add in the tips you’ve learned from this article into the equation and your romantic fantasy of a Philippine love affair will be fairly easy to realize.
