Courting is far more indirect in Philippine culture than in most Western societies. Philippine relationships pass in several stages, usually lasting for a long period of time. An engagement, for example, often lasts for several years and as far as marriage is concerned, it is viewed as a lifetime commitment.
Often the starting point of a relationship is a friendly date. The couple will go out together in public places as friends only and will be accompanied by other friends. During this stage of courting there will be no public displays of affection, the man has to be discreet and friendly or he will be accused of being too arrogant. It is too early for kissing or holding hands at this point.
That is the second stage of Filipina courtship and now couples may go out together without the company of their friends. Again, the keyword here is “discreetly”.
Filipinas cannot afford to be fast, they are expected to be pakipot (hard to get) because it is seen as an appropriate behavior when they are courted. A Philippine girl never shows her admirer that she is also in love with him immediately.
Playing hard to get is one way by which the Filipina can measure the sincerity of the man interested in her. It also lets her show the man that he has to work hard to win her love. Some courtships may last for years before the woman accepts her admirer’s love and they become magkasintahan, a term for boyfriend-girlfriend.
After some time the couple may decide to come out in the open about their romance. At this time they will inform their family and friends about their relationship. Every man who wants to be taken seriously by a Filipina is obliged to visit her family and introduce himself formally to her parents. It is rather inappropriate to court a Philippine girl and formalize the relationship without informing the girl’s parents.
There is a tacit rule here that says: “When courting the filipina you are not courting just her, you are courting the entire family”. Following this rule will help you earn her respect by entrusting her family with high regard.
There are certain traditions that have to be observed when visiting the Asians family. For example, if the man wants to be acceptable to the girl’s family, he has to give small gifts (pasalubong) every time he drops by her family's house. If you have any questions regarding which traditions you should observe, you may discuss them with the older siblings. Engagement and Marriage
After being a couple with your Filipina for quite a time and decide to get married, the first thing you should do is pamanhikan (ask the girl’s parents for her hand).
When courting a Filipina you will find that she is shy and reserved even when holding great feelings for you. This is a part of her culture and even for a Western man there is no way around that. You should treat your Filipina with respect, lead the courtship with your heart and you may find a lifetime partner that will enrich your life as you have never imagined.
Vietnamese girls are extremely hard working and resourceful.
As history has proved in the difficult times of the country when the women fought along side the men, but they are very gentle and very feminine by nature and are equally as comfortable in a domestic situation as in a social environment. One reason that many men have found Vietnamese girls so appealing is the fact that they are very intelligent and capable in most situations and are exceptionally good with organizing the household budget as well as a natural shrewdness in business dealings. Their loyalty to family and spouse makes them also very trustworthy with the right mate. In comparison to the rest of Asia, Vietnam is one of the only counties that has truly kept it's traditions and culture alive. This can be contributed to the women of Vietnam for they are ones to sustain and nurture the age old traditional beliefs of their elders and ancestors.
One of the finest examples is the traditional Vietnamese dress "The Ao Dai" ( Pronounced Ou Yai ) beautiful, model like, sleek and extremely feminine. The Ao Dai represents the purity and virility of the women in Vietnam. Vietnamese girls make the ideal lifelong companions for any man in search of family values and a strong long lasting relationship.
The key to a successful marriage or friendship with a Vietnamese woman is to remember that Vietnamese girls are in search of the man that can truly understand and value her as a person and a woman.
They are definitely not simple by nature, but are easily pleased when felt appreciated and loved.
Vietnamese women are generally not accessible to just anyone as you must first prove yourself as an honorable, respectful man and a definite possibility as a life mate.
