Tiny Details That Matter When Dating a Filipina

Tiny Details That Matter When Dating a Filipina

Any stable, long-lasting relationship is built on the basis of love, alongside commitment, compatibility, and constant communication. However, it’s sometimes the little details in a relationship that matter more to women, such as Pinays or Filipinas.

Filipinas tend to focus a little more on the tiny details that keep a relationship going. Love may keep the relationship on the right track, but these little romantic details are what provide them happiness and give the relationship more volume.

This is the same reason why they don’t limit their choice in men to their fellow Filipinos. They have become open to international dating because sometimes, foreign men understand more the small things that count big in a relationship.

If you’re in pursuit of a Filipina woman, or lucky enough to be dating one at the moment, you should take note of these little things that matter a lot for a Filipina.

Compliments

Some western men just don’t realize how important little compliments are in a relationship, especially on the women’s part. For a Pinay, this doesn’t only cover the compliments you make about her beauty or how she looks.

It would also warm her heart if you express acknowledgment and gratitude over the things that she does like cooking, showing you to places, communicating to you through your language, or cheering you up when you’re feeling down.

Don’t let her feel like she’s being taken for granted by forgetting about compliments. A simple “thank you” for all this kindness is more than enough for her.

However, it’ll be much better if you do it in an extra special way like saying it through a love note, or by waking up early in the morning and making her breakfast in bed.

Doing Something New and Different

The reason why there are a lot of Filipino women dating foreign men is because of the fact that they aren’t high maintenance. However, it doesn’t mean that they don’t appreciate a little more effort and attention. In fact, these little deeds make them drawn more into the relationship.

The best way to do this is to try out new things with her. It can be through learning a new hobby, playing a new game, cooking a new recipe, or deciding to travel together every summer. You can also set small goals like trying out a new restaurant or playing dress-up every date night.

Make her feel that she may not be used to asking for too much time and attention, you’re more than willing to give it to her voluntarily and wholeheartedly.

Admitting Your Mistakes

Arguments are inevitable even with a Filipina partner who’s known for being patient and rarely losing her temper. As much as possible, she avoids getting into fights. You’ll know that she’s most upset when she finally gets into one.

Even if you’re certain that you did not do anything wrong, it’s best to let your argument slide and admit a mistake. It’s because not every fight with your Filipina girlfriend should be won. Make her feel that maintaining harmony in your relationship is more important to you than winning every argument to boost your pride.

Appreciate The Things That She Likes and Enjoys

When dating a foreigner, Filipinas often think that they can’t share with them the things they like and enjoy because of the so many differences in their perspectives and upbringing.

Prove her wrong by showing genuine interest in learning the things that she’s fond of. Pay close attention to the movies that she watches, the books that she reads, and the songs that she listens to.

Cheer with her while watching her favorite sports team play. Learn to cook her favorite dish, or at least, appreciate its taste.

Most importantly, give importance to the people that she holds dear in her life like her precious family and close friends.

Say ‘I love you’ When She Least Expects it

Never expect that just because you’re now in a relationship, you no longer have to proclaim your feeling of love for one another. Saying those three words shouldn’t stop when you receive assurance in a relationship.

Reminding a Filipina how much you love her will never fail to make her smile. Just randomly look in her eyes and sincerely say these three words. In times when she least expects you to say “I love you”, she will even shed a tear because of happiness and “kilig”.

She won’t mind if you tell her that every day, or even on every text that you send her. Instead, it will assure her that the challenges of dating a foreigner are all worth encountering because you’re giving her genuine love.

Little Sacrifices Go a Long Way

A Filipina is aware that dating men from overseas isn’t going to be easy and that there are pros and cons of dating a foreigner. Proximity, difference in time zones, and cultural indifference are just some of those challenges she had to overcome. But, she still took the risk because she is willing to sacrifice for love.

When dating Pinays, you should also be willing to return the same sacrifice in order to keep your relationship going and strong.

The sacrifice doesn’t need to be as big as spending a fortune on numerous trips a month to the Philippines.

Even if you’re capable of doing so, a Filipina is sensible enough to realize that it’s impractical especially if you both aren’t ready to settle down yet.

In the meantime, utilize and take advancement of technology that allows you to connect with her in real-time. It won’t hurt you to sacrifice a little bit of your sleep and time in order to communicate at times most convenient for both of you.

While you’re still in the farthest part of the world, set plans that you both will look forward to on the day that you’ll meet and be together again. That way, your fondness will grow bigger and there will be no space for gaps to grow in your relationship.

These sacrifices are required in order to measure the trust and love that you have for each other. It will eventually pay off on the day that both of you decide to settle down and take on more sacrifices, but this time, hand in hand.
