Cebu Filipina Finds Lasting Love During Singles Tour

In cities like Cebu, interracial couples are becoming much more common.

With the dating culture in the Philippines starting to favor casual couplings rather than marriage from a male standpoint, millions of Filipinas are beginning to consider dating and marrying foreign men, many of whom visit the islands on business trips and solo travel excursions.

Mary Ann, a Cebu Filipina found such a love in an American named Tim. Tim had embarked on solo travel to the Philippines, for the purposes of meeting a great Filipino woman to possibly start a serious relationship with.

Like many of the Filipinas throughout the country, Western men are facing domestic dating difficulties, especially as they grow older. With an increasingly independent culture among Western women, many men are turning towards mindsets that often write dating and marriage off completely.

For those men who have yet to adopt the perpetual bachelor culture, international dating has become a focal point in their pursuit of finding true lasting love.

Because of the shared difficulties found in their singles communities, Filipina women like Mary Ann and Western men like Tim have begun considering international dating as the answer to these roadblocks in finding their soul mate.

Interracial couples like Mary Ann and Tim are nothing new, but with the connectivity of the internet through online dating, social media and even email, this option has become more realistic for even the furthest of long distance relationships.
