Am I being fooled???

[Tonet]

We have been writing each other for 10 months and spoke over the phone a lot but does that mean we know each other well? In her long letter she stated that after this type of communication we already know each other between 60 and 80%. Personally, without any real face to face encounter, I would say 10% and still consider myself optimistic.

When you meet in person its like meeting all over again. When i meet my husband, then my boyfriend first time in person it was really strange. We chatted for more than 1 yr, before we met. I know many things about him but the guy in front of me was like stranger, so i cant imagine myself marrying him on his first visit.

I got rather confused explanations regarding price discrepancies but she promised to send a scan and I believe her..... she is also OK about not hurrying into a marriage. Aahh, women!!

[pacificelectric]

I got the scan with the letterhead of Dr. karen Alabado and in fact it is a series of sessions of "photorejuvenation", Ps. 9.000 per session plus medicine and my gf got a discount on that... sounds pretty expensive of course but apparently it is more sophisticated than mere diamond peeling. Anyway now that I have the scan I just need to shut my big mouth and expect to find her pretty and young in September....

[Mrs Daddy]

sorted thengoodluck!

[IainBusby]

A single treatment as of this morning was 1500 pesos No mention whatsoever of a deluxe version

Sounds like Standard Price or (Deluxe Version) Kano Price.

I could knock one of those in 5/10 minutes (and I am not as a computer literate as I pass myself to be), scan it and send it on.....

A man in love is always ready to believe....

[Sophie]

Actually she quoted 5 x Ps. 8.000 sessions plus creams and ointment for a total of Ps. 58.000......

Personally, 58,000 is a bit too much quotation....
Diamond peel is nowhere near to that cost, even with facials and wart removal treatment
and including ointments, solutions and all the other maintenance products that go along with it......
I can tell, because i've been having one before, in my single days, before i even met my husband now....
And i'm having it done in a well known dermatology clinic in manila as i'm based there,
and it's a fact that the prices in manila (the city) is way way higher than the provinces, so 58k is quite high for that facial treatment......

But i'm not saying she is trying to fool you, maybe she spent the rest of the money for other important stuff as well as for her family.....
Give her the benefit of the doubt.....anyway, you're due to meet her soon,
so i guess that's the perfect time to clear things out and plan for the days ahead....
Make sure though, that you do that before you marry her, lol....
Everything has to be discussed in the open and agreed upon before you say "I do".....

[Sophie]

Whew! 8K per session?? even Belo doesn't charge that much for a diamond peel

60K is an awful lot of money to spend for "vanity" :No sorry

LOL, very true

Well, if she got scanned receipts from the doctor to back up the costs, then it's settled then
Just have fun on your visit there next month and enjoy your time with your pretty and now flawless-faced gf

She just told me over the phone she also bought black lingerie

So what? I don't have a pacemaker.....

A great post. The first day/holiday is very strange as this total stranger who you know very intimately is with you and yet you don't know them.
Some things see very familiar and as expected other facets of the person for some reason seem new and unfamiliar.

Do go with an open mind you don't really know one another yet this meeting is so important and crucial as you can imagine it will decide and define the whole relationship.
Try and keep your eyes open and do make sure you do get some private time to talk (very very hard in Phill) in depth with eye contact.

My Wife spent a fortune well by hers and her familys standards on beauty treatment before i first went and each time thereafter but then from what she tells me about the huge sums women spend in UK stores on beauty treatment,clothes and what have you for far more mundane reasons than meeting your potential husband for the first time.

May i wish you both a pleasant time together

See? it's give and take, lol, in some way, you get something back from your money, lol
i'm sure you don't mind spending for her to be beautiful and sexy for you, not to mention her flaunting a sexy black lingerie for you
careful though that she doesn't get so used to it - you spending so much for her beauty stuff.....
it may become a habit later on, lol, and it would cost you, lol

[Pepe n Pilar]

Yes old is gold.

Woman is like the country.
At age 20, she is like Austria, young ang interesting
At age 30, she is like India, warm and mysterious
At age 40, she is like USA, technically perfect
At age 50, she is like Europe, all in ruins
At age 60, she is like Siberia, everyone knows where it is
but no one wants to go there..

This is just a joke.... no offence pls...
I read this in the book of jokes..

[Tawi2]

thats great i have never heard that before


but my first point was if i WENT into a car showroom and i see an older car i will not pay the dealer to have it repaired before i buy it ESPECIALY IF HE IS A PILIPINO CAR DEALER


and if i want a newer low milage one with a perfect body

I WILL BUY ONE LIKE THAT

[pacificelectric]

i'm sure you don't mind spending for her to be beautiful and sexy for you, not to mention her flaunting a sexy black lingerie for you

Well in fact I would rather encourage her.... actually she is 50 but looks younger.... on that photo she is with the white hat on the left.

[Florge]

well, most Asian women look younger than their age... lucky you!

[britishdetained]

I agree

[Sophie]

Indeed she is really pretty and look really young for her age
and that only shows that she is taking care of herself well, which is is good.....i'm sure you are so excited to see her already

[Matt7]

Sorry, trying to get my head around the situation, she gave you a receipt for the exact amount of money you sent her, but she also bought lingerie with some of the money that was meant to be exclusively for the procedure? Excuse me if I'm being a little slow with that one?

I've just noticed in another thread you gave this lady another 40,000PHP ontop of the 60,000? So thats £1200 to someone you've never met? Wow, I hate to say this mate but rather you than me. If you can afford all that then fair play to you, but in my humble opinion there's something very fishy going, and it makes me quite sad, whether she loves you or not that's a LOT of money

my thoughts exactly i might be a bit cynical but for me it's quite strange

yesh it is quite sad and i hope the lady is genuine and truly inlove...it's entirely up to Pacific and i guess he's a better judge of her character than any of us here..sometimes we stop being rational when we're inlove...some people have that nature to give everything they got when they are in love.. hmnn, LOVE

Pacific, i wish u all the best! i hope u're feeling more confident now
(no more doubts...whether u're being fooled or not )
Goodluck and enjoy ur trip!

[pacificelectric]

We have discussed a lot lately and I trust her 100%... of course I still need to meet her in person in September but I am confident we will straighten things out adequately.....

[New Shoes]

I've been following this thread and my concerns like a few other posters have stated. Personally, from my perspective, I see red flags and hear alarms. I hope everything works out fine for you.
