That's Life

That's Life


My friend and love guru, Dan, asked me to write an article for the member’s section if I had time. Something about public service ads but I have no idea what he is talking about so I told him I can write about my membership at Filipina Eyes.

During my membership era, I have been to the Philippines twice. Yep, twice! Each time I went to meet a few of the ladies I met on Filipina Eyes. I made it clear that the whole reason for the trip was to see if there was enough chemistry for love. I’m a firm believer that falling in love isn’t complete until you meet in person.

The trips were everything a man would dream of. Beautiful ladies, great scenery and the cost of touring and getting around is unbelievably cheap. The ladies I met at Filipina Eyes met me at the airport and were my personal tour guide. Wait, I wrote that wrong. One of the ladies who I met at Filipina Eyes would meet me at the airport and each lady I had the pleasure of being with was my personal tour guide. I wouldn’t want you to think there were twenty ladies all waiting at the airport for me.

In my first trip, I met three special ladies. I wanted to spend time with each one to see if there was enough magic to get to know each other more. One thing was obvious, the ladies are much more beautiful in person than they are in their profile picture.

My first trip was an adventure of a life time. I honestly think I fell in love with all three ladies. I wanted to be as honest as I could so I told them right up front they were not the only lady I was meeting while on vacation. Sensual moments is the phrase that comes to mind when I try to describe the time I spent with each beauty. My first trip ended without me knowing who was the right one for me. Later, I would pay the price for that laps of thought.

I came home and continued to correspond with all three ladies but that did not last long. Eventually another gent came along who made a firm commitment and took each lady away from me. Ah, lost love. I told you I paid the price for my indecisiveness.

By the time I went on my 2nd trip to the Philippines I was wiser but it ended up I  still did not find the one I would marry. Instead I found heartache.  Again, I had arranged to meet three beautiful ladies from Filipina Eyes. Pretty much the same arrangements as my first trip with the hope of spending time with each lady to find the one meant for me.  This time I would not be indecisive.

My story includes a lady who is still a  member of this site so I won’t mention her name, but unlike the first trip, I fell head over heels in love with just ONE. I knew she was the one I wanted to spend more time with, but I still spent a little time with each lady as promised. My plan was to spend the rest of my vacation with the lady who put butterflies in my stomach when I was near her. We spent about ten days together. She was very traditional. I met her parents, we dated, we even spent a few days away from family to get to know each other better. I knew I wanted to marry her.

It was coming close to the end of my vacation and I wanted to spend the last few days discussing our relationship. I was ready to ask her to marry me, but after meeting her parents I felt they expected me to court their daughter and not rush into marriage. I was planning on asking her if she wanted to get engaged with a promise of marriage if we felt the same about each other after I courted her for a while. She smiled and said “no thank you.” I was speechless. Wait, maybe she meant she didn’t want to be courted but wanted to marry right away. She said “no thank you.”  Gulp!

The rest of our time was as sweet as the days before. If I would of been more aware, I would of realized that she did not find me as appealing as I found her. I was so wrapped up in her beauty I didn’t even stop and think if the chemistry was mutual or not. When I asked her why, she said I was more like a brother to her than a boyfriend. The rest you can surmise for yourself.

Were the trips worth it? You bet. I plan on going again after I have licked my wounds and saved a little money. There is a part of me that dreams of living in the Philippines, but I don’t see any job opportunities for such a change. Could I of married one of the other ladies I met during my two trips? No doubt. But the one I wanted to marry, didn’t want to marry me. As they say “that’s life.”

Ok, that is my article. Dan, you can post one of your sad songs if you like. Meanwhile, I need you to build a bridge from the U.S. to the Philippines so I can drive there.

Thats what you get when you meet few ladies one at a time you will truly get hurt, did you ever asked one of those ladies if they felt something special for you? like falling in love with you while you're spending time with each one of them? cuz maybe one of them fell in love with you and then maybe she was afraid to tell you because you don't feel the same so who knows, maybe one of those ladies gain heartaches too?

I admire the lady for having the heart to break yours. If she didn't, you both might not have worked out since the feeling is not mutual.I admire you as well for the courage of going back even after all you've been through. Hope you find your match soon.
