Although Filipino women are the most caring women on the planet, they do come from a different culture. The familiar Western rules of dating that you're so familiar with definitely does not apply. The direct approach of asking for her number is a sure way to get the cold shoulder treatment from a Filipina woman.

What you should know is that there's that thing called pakipot (playing hard to get) and ligawan (courtship) in Filipino dating culture. Amongst themselves, courtship is a requirement and for the women, playing pakipot or hard to get is a test of the man's sincerity.
So, dating a Filipina woman is never an easy task even for Filipino men. For men in the United States, Europe, Australia, the challenge in dating a Filipina woman is in making her feel that you are a real person with sincere intentions.
* Challenges in the chatting stage
Out there at Filipina dating sites, it might seem like Filipino women are easy because they could be pro-active and the first one to chat with you. But the truth is that these women read between the lines. By chatting with you, they're simply checking out if there's a chance you could be together.
If you just signed up with a Filipina dating site like Cherry Blossoms (http://blossomsdating.com), aim to be consistently chatting with several Filipina women at the same time or if you prefer, with just one woman . Filipino women simply pull off a disappearing act if they don't “feel” you or if they feel that you (you and her) are not going anywhere with your friendship.
Tips:
* When you're still in the chatting stage when you're dating a Filipina woman, NEVER tell her that you're chatting with other women. Although they know they're not the only one you're chatting with, Filipino women are the jealous type and do not like it when you talk to them about other women.
* Stop yourself from committing to a woman if you still have not in person. You'd be surprised at how many online Western-Filipino couples broke up after meeting person because their expectations were not met. Make it clear in a polite way that both of you need to meet in person before you become boyfriend and girlfriend.
* Challenges when you're meeting in person
The biggest challenge about dating a Filipina woman in person is the expense. As the man (and as a Western man), you are expected to have the money to spend on your dates. Although it is cheaper in the Philippines, if you're paying for two people all the time, it does add up.
If you're already committed to a Filipina woman, the challenge is in getting her family's approval. Filipinos are actually a very close-knit group and Filipino women generally do not go for men who don't have their folks' stamp of approval, unless if they want to fight with their parents. One way that you can endear yourself to her family is by visiting them at their home and bringing her parents and her siblings small gifts they will appreciate.
Tips:
* Even if you're still in the chatting stage, you should still visit her at home to know what kind of person she is in her so-called natural environment. Also, getting to know her family gives you a preview about the kind of life you'll have with her when you're married.
* When meeting her at home, make sure to bring chocolates, lots of them. Bring a bottle of hard liquor drink for her father.
So that's. The ones we listed above are actually just some of the challenges of dating a Filipina woman. Check out Filipina women here.
