This girl in The Philippines is moving a bit fast
And I want to know how normal this is or if I should be concerned. So I'll try to keep things short.
- Looking into The Philippines to stay longer term as Digital nomad
- Got an exploration trip booked for <30 days (visa free)
- Changed my location on dating site because why not
- Got tons and tons of likes, many obvious scammers and some golddiggers but still plenty of very legit seeming profiles at first glance, a lot of filtering and chatting
- Been chatting with this one woman and it feels good, even did some video calls and she is the person on the picture, not a deepfake (walking around the house/place, hands multiple time in front of face, eating in front of camera, other people been on camera)
- According to people here in the west I'm a "7", but I'm also on the very short side here (just for your info)
- We agreed to meet in person on my trip
So here is the thing: she has somewhat of a trip to do to go to the city where I stay and suggests staying there. She just graduated and is obviously not rich. So far she never hinted at money problems, or asked for anything and even suggests me cheaper things and seems to live frugal.
I offered to pay for a room for her (really fucking cheap IMO) but she insist on staying with me in my room because "I should save money". It matches her prior more frugal mindset but I'm worried if there is a catch? Is it normal she wants to stay with a foreigner in the same hotel room without even having met in person yet? Or is it more likely she might... steel my stuff and run off while I'm asleep?
That's actually why I prefer to pay for a room for her actually. Want to make her comfortable but I'm also worried about myself. Or is it just common for a 20 something Filipina to want to stay in the same hotel room with a 30 something foreigner after a first date?
