a few months ago there is a foreign company sent two ladies to china to audit our company. one of them is married and the another one is single. i donot know why i fell in love with the single one at the first sight. their china travel was short and they left china in 2 days. fortunately i kept her email adress so i sent a message to her and told her that i love her. i was so happy when i received her email and knew that she likes me too. both of us are excited and so we keep contacting each other by emails, skype and qq. it is true that we love each other but we are from different countries she is in phillipines and i am in china, it will be difficult for us to get married and it is difficult to understand each others culture. now i really hesitated what shall i do with this relationship, shall i give up or keep going on? is it right for me to marry her?

if you really love her, you won't be troubled by the distance. You can ask her that if ever you ask her to marry you, would she be willing to live in China with you. Or can you work and live in the Philippines if your marry her? If yes, then you can already make your commitment.

Why the hesitation? There are so many Chinese-Filipino marriages that have become successful. Love can bridge whatever difficulties you might have to face in the future. While you may have different cultures and traditions, we Filipinos are very familiar with the Chinese beliefs since the Philippines is just about filled with Chinese nationalities. We have Chinese communities everywhere and most have started following Chinese traditions specifically feng shui. Chinese residents are no longer considered foreigners in this country since they have become a part of the citizenry. if you persist on thinking about the difficulties, you might have regrets later on. Think objectively since we are now living in a modern generation not the past where inter racial marriages were frowned upon.

Hi there. I do understand your confusion as of the moment with regards to your growing relationship with this Filipina girl. It's normal to hesitate since it's true, your countries have different cultures and traditions. However, if you believe in your love, everything will surely be possible. If you love each other that much, you'll both find ways to be together. You know what, we are making our own destiny for destiny is always a choice. Just keep it going, you'll know anyway if it's never really gonna work. Well, this is just my personal opinion about your situation. The final decision will still be dependent on you.

Hi, Since you are enjoying your love at first sight at the moment and you are getting positive vibes from phillipines, I don't see any problems. Allow and take your time to develop a strong understanding and bonding before getting married. Why is it difficult to marry her, is it because you are in two different cities... As you already found your love, why not break all the barricades to treasure it? meanwhile find out all the pros & cons of shifting to other city.. best wishes.

Heh jakeyangchao first and foremost what you are doing is not wrong my friend.. Marrying someone from another country is not a sin.. But I aks you this- Do you really think she is the one for you? Have you thought about this decsion through well and you are willing to spend the rest of the life with her? Are you sure it is not just an infactuation ? MY POINT IS JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE CONVINCED SHE IS THE ONE. Well if you are then I think you should go aheaad with it.. Yes you are from different countires, the cultures are different and there will oppsotion in familie but if you are sure she is the one you should put your effort not to lose her.. My own bro married a Thai girl last year..We are from India where it is more conservative. There was ahuge hue and cry but he stood his stand.. The marriage was real fun as we had the marraige in both the styles, one in India and other in Bangkok. Fianlly the bottom line that they are very happy and so are the parents.. Good luck to you :) Cheers :)

hi jakeyangchao! i think u should keep pressing on. u never know it mite work out and there r lots of people each day that r from different countries and different cultures that have relationships and get get married and they work around their differences and they end up supporting each other. so no it's not wrong to marry her and yes it is going to be difficult but no relationship is a cake walk. i hope things work out for u 2 dont get discouraged friend just keep pressing on :)
