Hi Guys,
This is my first post on this forum and I really look forward to some great advice from you guys. I'm a foreigner here in the Philippines and met one girl.
Following on from the theme of this thread, I met the girl at her place of work and I got talking with her and asked her out. She told me 'sure, some time.' After that when I phoned her, she told me 'she'd think about it.'
She's a westernized Filipino girl, but I'm struggling to understand her. I visit her at her work and she will usually come and talk to us (my friend and I) or me if I'm alone and have a drink. What gave me the impression she was interested was the following:
1) She usually looks quite happy to see me and comes over and sits directly next to me, not my friend, as if to signal, she's interested only in me.
2) She has dropped the odd hint saying, 'I need to sms you soon' (so we go out.)
3) She's chatted a lot with me and was telling me about her parents breaking up which is why she's 'cautious.'
However, the likelihood is this girl sees me as a 'friend figure' or maybe someone she might choose if something better doesn't come along. My reasons for this are as followed:
1) First time I got her number and rang her after, she told me 'she'd think about it'
2) She never comes out with me, always 'busy.' It's true she works very long hours, but there is always time to find 1 hour for a lunch?
3) I've seen her 8 to 10 times at her work over 3 months and despite always coming and having drink still she will not come out outside her work place.
4) She's westernized, drinks etc so dating is not a big issue.
5) She's pretty good looking and tells me many men approach her.
6) Never sends SMS or shows so much interest away from work.
Appreciate your feedback, I suspect she's wanting a friend or she's enjoying the fact that I want to be with her, thus is 'playing me' for her own entertainment purposes.
I'm not sure what the next step is. I'm thinking of cutting off all communication and not visit her anymore.
