Filipina dating traditions?
Is it true that the male is expected to visit the family at their home to be taken seriously?
I am involved with a Filipina girl.
She has told me i need to go and visit the whole family (parents, brothers, uncle and close friend i believe, if my memory serves me correct) which at first made me nervous but eventually started to agree to make plans to visit the family home for dinner.
Now i am very keen on this girl and i do love her. Although i do not like pictures i have seen of her brothers who are apparently "very protective" of her. I think that her brothers and his friends look "intimidating" with tattoos and have posed for pictures with large swords (Large swords - Not the behavior or attitude of the true Filipino i don't believe)
It is worrying me and my judgements and accusations have not gone well and have upset/offended my girl's family who have told her to stop speaking with me. I do care for her and love her very much it is just i am increasingly worried by the pictures i have seen.
Does "T.S.T" mean anything to anyone here?
Only that is a friendship group her brothers are involved with.
People please advise and offer as much information as possible, salamat in advance.

I thought u said (in your other thread) that your lonely prince and would want to meet some
For me, i only let the guy meet my family if i am sure with him or really love him or serious with him. I dont know what TST means. is that the name of their group?
One thing i can say is that filipino men who has tatoo in Phililippines is not really good, unless if you are a celebrity but common people if got tattoo some will think you're an ex-convict i know in uk its common and acceptable. It's just different in every country
May i ask wheres your girl from? wat part in philippines

TST Temple street trece,the only asian gang I heard of over there,not exactly what I would describe as a "Friendship group" unless you apply the same title to the Mafia and the triads,mongrel mob,black power,hells angels etc Your 18 years old?Is this girl in Pinas?How did you meet her?As for visiting every single member of the family,I hope you have a spare year or so as some families are quite large Dont worry,I am sure her brothers will take care of you

I went over there first time when I was 19 mate,but I was quite clued up and streetwise having already visited other third world countries,you sound apprehensive already having seen a few blades in a pic If your going round for dinner to meet the family where are you at the moment,and if you love her why are you a "Lonely-prince"?

She is living here in London and i first met her in a social networking site and then on "friendster" (she had me join it and her friends including this brother have added me there)
So TST is bad then? I guess i should be careful if they are part of a gang and especially if i have now upset the family ... Not advisable to go and meet them in their home for dinner then? :(

If your in London mate the dinners going to be cold by the time you turn up in Cavite mate,and if your running late the table is likely to be bare as one thing pinoys love is food I have heard of the temple street trece,ask her is that them?I never heard them called a "Friendship" group however,more like a pinoy branch of the triads How old is she?Surely her family are here in London with her?The important ones anyway,mum,dad,and siblings

Pinoy culture is run on brotherhood type lines,they dont tend to be individuals,they prefer team work so maybe that explains her bro's initiation into the TST's?Doesnt the posing with swords give you a clue as to how friendly they are?I am trying to remember the last time I posed in a pic with a sword Besides,your 18,enjoy life

Please address this topic with a degree of seriousness. Luckily she doesn't have my home address, i managed to avoid giving it especaily when i knew of the T.S.T involvement. I think maybe i should find a Filipina and family that are "decent". In terms of being law abiding and respectful.

the signs outside the bars worried me at first -
kindly leave all firearms and weapons outside i have never seen so many security guards with guns in my life but you get used to it some places looked like the wild west and that was near butwan

I am looking for a special someone that's right. I don't want a British girl (no racism intended), i feel they are not respectful or caring enough. I want someone that will stand by me and support me i want a soul-mate not just a Saturday night fling "wham!, bam! thank you ma'am style."
If this Filipina my post is relating to is involved in all of this i will consider looking for another Filipina. I want someone law-abiding and decent.

That's ok my friend. I am sorry if i am confusing you with my trail of thoughts. If this Filipina and her siblings are involved with T.S.T i will have no choice but to look for another Filipina. I need to be happy and in my search to find a soul-mate there will be break-ups along the way, i am here hoping to meet a loving Filipina.

I have seen a fight or two in the philippines,they dont tend to have punch-ups ALA manny pacquiao,they actually prefer knife-ups and I once saw two guys hold a man while the third broke a bottle over his head Good clean fun
