Question Number 2, I've 'met' this Philippine girl on the internet !!?
We have been corresponding for over two months.
About two weeks ago she asked for 50$ so she can buy a dress for her birthday !!
Today she wrote her uncle in the province passed, and is asking me to help pay for the coffin, she is asking for 8000p, when I refused she said both her and I will "lose face".
With me it's not about money, BUT it seems this will never end !!!
How in your opinion should this matter be handled.

I know lots of filipinas online.I know alot about thier culture and how to interact with them.You will have trouble finding someone with more experiance dealing with filipinas or interacting with them online as I have. First is it possible that you can meet a nice girl online? Yes it is possible.
I think there is alot you dont understand. First listen to this statement. "A decent filipina, a good girl will not go online asking someone she met on the net for money." A filipina said that.Not me.
Not every girl there that ask's you for money is a professional scammer.Your girl may not be a professional scammer.The pro's boyfriends or husbands will drop them off at the internet cafe and pick them up at the end of the day.Hubby of course will be with her when she stops by the Western Union to withdrawl the cash you sent for Momma's medicine.Or for her tuition so she could continue going to school.Or maybe you sent fifty bucks so she could continue paying the net cafe bill.That way you and her could continue your long sweet chats.For fifty bucks she could chat at the cafe for 50 - 70 hours.Who spends 50 - 70 hours at the cafe each month? The pros.
Now lets talk about the filipino way of thinking.First some think all americans are rich.Your an american.Your white.Own your own computer.You can afford to send $50 half way around the world. Damn your rich !
And you are rich compared to the standards in the philippines.A good job will pay a filipino about $200-$300 amonth .A GOOD JOB. Not everyone there has a good job.
Now you just sent this girl $50 or equavalent to a weeks wages there in the Phils.....for a dress.
You ARE RICH !
Does she care about you ? Maybe ? Is she trying to scam you ? maybe ? maybe not. But she see's you as a rich friend or boyfriend , whatever.If you will send her money because you like her and she say's she needs it then whats the harm?
But if she was totally sincere about you ? If she didnt even want the impression to be made that she is useing you .Then she would not dare ask you for money until after you met in person and the two of you officially became a couple.I doubt she needed $50 for a dress. That money probally paid for the dress and the party.
I have filipina friends that i have known online for five to six years.They are good hard working people and not once did they ask me for money.
When you meet a girl online and she starts hinting about this problem and that problem and she does not know where she will get the money for this or that, its time to delete and block her.
Maybe your girl is not really a scammer, but she is taking advantage of you. Many girls there look for guys online to get attached to them.Then they start "to need money " for this and that.
Filipinos have large families.Im sure that her uncles family will find a way to give him a decent funeral. Why is that your responsability ?
Trust me , save your money for when you meet the real one.This girl see's you as a bank and not just a love interest.If she is useing you like this now.Just wait until you visit there.If you visit there?
She and about twenty family members will be waiting to clean out your pockets.They will all hear about the american sucker thats flying in.
Filipina's are lovely women.If your interested in one take your time.Do some research.Learn about their history and culture.Get to know several online.A good girl will not take advatage of your feelings for her.A good filipina will love you back ten times more than you can love her.
Make it your policy to not send money to anyone that you ONLY KNOW FROM THE INTERNET.
Yea you fall in love and feel all mushy over a girl on the net but its still jusy someone you know from the net.You dont really know anything about her real life when she signs out.I have chatted with asian women as their boyfriends sat behind them and played video games on another computer.After the third or fourth chat i wondered why her and this guy were always in the same place together. Yea she had problems , she needed money for this and that.I coud stare in her eyes forever.She was lovely.But i never sent her a dime.
Its just how things are on the internet.
Be careful and save your money.Save it for your trip when you meet the real one.This girl is not the one for you.
If she was , you would not be here asking this question.Your doubting her for a reason.
Because she is useing you ! Find a good filipina,There are alot out there.
To answer the last part of your question .How should you handle the matter? Get rid of her.
You wont have to break up with her.Just say " from now on im not sending any money.If we meet in person and become a couple that will make things different.But for now.This is my policy. I cant send money to anyone i just meet on the net." She will be like dust in the wind.Trust me.
She will go invisable to you and look in the chat rooms for another SUCKER !

HELLO,
Oxala baba,Roan it seems that your problem about people asking you money will never end.
About your number one question, people of the Philippines gave you ''GOOD ADVICES'' though ''HONESTLY, I DOUBT'' if your sentiments are forever true.
I LIKE TO GIVE STRAIGHT ANSWERS BUDDY.
You always talk about people asking you money, your QUESTION NUMBER 1 yesterday night is about your girlfriend/wife family financial matters boasting about their requests,
THEN AGAIN"
Now here is another unbelievable story QUESTION NUMBER 2 related story with unknown people again asking you for money.
I THINK YOUR PROBLEM SEEMS ENDLESS AND WILL NEVER END.
MY SISTERLY ADVICE MY FRIEND:
It seems that you have ''NO MONEY'' at all.
So be honest, accept the truth that you are ''BANKRUPT''.
I'm sure you will never have any problem if you are just being ''HONEST'' and tell everyone that you are broke and'' NO MONEY''.
I'M SURE NO ONE WILL ASK YOU ANYTHING.

i am sure that is a scam and that girl (if she's a girl) just wants your money.
im a filipina and i've met my husband on the internet. we've talked for more than a year and he'd visited me in the pihilippines but i've never asked money from him even once because our relationship is real and so is my love for him. he insisted on sending money after his visit but i dont want him to think im only after his money and after all i have a stable job then in the philippines. he only started sending money to me after we got married and i was still in the philippines then.

Harsh truth: She doesn't care about you; she cares about your money.
The money may not be an issue with you here, but that's the only thing she wants to get out of your relationship.
Block/delete/leave her and make her work for her own money. You'll only "lose face" if you keep falling for her lies.

You can’t talk a woman into bed or into a relationship. So if you’re wondering how do you get a girl interested in you when nothing you say seems to be working, the problem might be with your hands more than your words. Read here https://tr.im/TYHbL
Touch her appropriately as soon as you meet her and slowly escalate the duration and intensity of each touch. Give her time to get comfortable with your touch – if she’s not comfortable holding your hand, she’s definitely not going to be comfortable being sexual with you.

It sounds like she's just wanting your money. Stop corresponding. For all you know, it may not be a girl you're "chatting" with.

How do you know she's real and not a fake? -___- Just stop talking to ''her''
