Just yesterday, I got reacquainted with a former net buddy of mine back in college. We've been online buddies way back in sophomore year in college.

We were actually talking way lot since last year, and our communication kinda stopped last September, when I was dating both Jason and Eli.

He was asking me a while ago if I already had a bf. I told him the truth, that I am still single. He then asked me if he could court me.

Here in the Philippines, courting is a norm. But honestly, I don't believe in it. Call me crazy, but I really don't. I am much more comfortable befriending the guy and going out on dates. I'd rather not be showered with gifts and promises, I'd rather see who you are.

So the question still hangs, would I or would I not allow him. I told him that if he really wants to, we could be friends and maybe go out when time permits, but being a girlfriend takes time. Besides, he isn't the only guy around. There is still Jason to think about.

Hey, its just my two cents.

With love and Kleenex, [case of the cold]

    i dont believe in courtship too!!!

    if you really want to know the person just befriends first.

    and besides pangit naman kung sinagot mo yung guy tapos sabihin nya namahalan sya sa panliligaw sa yo!!!

  • dazed_and_confused said on Feb 20, 2007....
    yup! :D that's right queen. Mahirap din naman kasi yung ishoshower ka nya with gifts, kasi magkakaroon ang girl ng certain expectation.

    Sabi nga ng isang guy na officemate ko, if the girl really likes you, then she will like you, basta maging gentleman ka lang at mabait. Hindi na kelangang gumastos ng sobrang laki. Basta enough lang na ipakita mo na mahal mo cya and that you care for her.

    Tama. tama ang officemate ko na yun.

    Cheers

    Girl, get over that cold now, will yah? =)

    I don't mean to be rude, but for a guy to ask permission to court you may mean he's actually asking if he has a big chance to win you, right? Hellooooo? In my perspective (1 centavo worth), permission should not be asked! It's a free country man, go ahead, court! And get ready for the consequences. Di ba? Ang tanong: type mo ba naman siya!?

    Sadly, I don't believe in courtship either. I say lavish gifts will not change one's heart. If the feeling is mutual, go! If not, disperse! hahaha..

    lol. my colds are ayt now. though it has been replaced by a certain irritation towards that bitch of an officemate, the one that I'm ranting all about, fuck her, with a capital F. Sorry for the language, but really she is such an ass.

    so anyway, yup you are right, if a guy asks you that kind of question, it seems that he is testing the waters, and fishing for information. As my guy instructor once said, guys shouldn't ask a girl if he could court her or not because the guy is just putting the girl in such an awkward situation, and is a sign of cowardice. Just be prepared to get rejected.

    Disperse? That's a good one Lioness!

    With redness and irritation,

    I like being courted.  Sorry po. Ako lang ba?
     
    I tell the guy in advance though that courting me doesn't mean he'd actually win my heart, duh?! kaya nga courting hehehehe it's a risk he has to take. If in the end, hindi pa rin talaga, sorry na lang. Pwede ko naman isauli lahat ng binigay nya, wag lang yung chocolate hahahaha
     
    I love being chased around nyahahahaha

    whahaha. nice one yani.
     
    oks lang naman yun. kanya kanya lang yun na opinion at preferences, :D

    yup, courting or even dating doesn't necessarily mean ending up in a relationship di ba.

    As they say, we are old enough and there are no need for certain labels. hehehe..

    Cheers

    Ok all you lovely filipinas......give this dumb Canadian an explaination of courship Philippine style.  I ve got the general idea but details, details, details!
  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 08, 2007....
    hahaha! :D hi botoni.

    Okay here's how courtship in the Philippines work.

    First the guy will ask you if you he can court you. If you say yes,

    1. He will need to shower you with gifts
    2. He can't kiss you... I think...
    3. He will have to profess his undying love for you.
    4. The girl needs to play hard to get
    5. Has to meet the parents first, and win their votes. {{arg... hard to do!}}
    6. And it will take many months before a girl should make him her boyfriend.

    Before, way back, men in the province would "harana" or sing at the girl's house, begging for her attention, and to let him and his comrades in the house.

    Dazed....thanks so much!  The ex mentioned that he courted his wife but didnt go into much detail.  GAWD!  The stupid woman believed him!
  • dazed_and_confused said on Mar 08, 2007....
    hahah! Glad that I could provide you with info! :D

    When I was younger, I wanted to be courted first before committing into any relationship. Hmm... LOL. That didn't help me a lot in knowing the person. That's why I don't believe in courtship too much.

    LOL.

    Cheers!
