Vivi, Kamusta? (How are you)

Vivi,

Wow, you are also a Filipina but currently in Japan? One year is pretty much a long time too when it comes to online dating. As for me, it had been 7 months already since we started talking through yahoo. I know the horrible stories about these men scamming western women for visa, sex and money. But being an Asian from the Philippines, I considered myself a bit different. Your story rattled my confidence a little, because you're Asian and yet he asked you for money. If he just wanted money, then maybe he could choose a westerner perhaps? Why wait for one year with you being a Filipina? Just a thought!

If he comes up with something like this, no matter how much I love him, I know I could walk away and make the right decision. Thanks Vivi! I am proud of you for having the strength to break ties and move on with your life. By the way, is he still trying to talk to you? Where did you met? What part in Egypt is he from? Keep in touch!

Love,

Amber Rose
