While you\u2019re dating young Filipino singles, sometimes the reason the relationship gets rocky is that you have a hard time understanding their personalities and their culture. If you continue reading, however, you might have a better idea of what goes through a younger Filipino\u2019s mind while they\u2019re dating someone. Here are a few things you should keep in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Career-oriented<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Careers are important for young Filipinos. A commonly cited reason may be financial stability, but their generation also has another big motivator&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rappler.com\/thought-leaders\/143714-defining-filipino-millennials\">their interests<\/a>. Filipino millennials place importance in maintaining a meaningful occupation, particularly one that falls in line with what they are passionate about. Most of all, they want to make their mark in the world. They want to contribute something to society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CareerOriented1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-449\" width=\"470\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CareerOriented1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CareerOriented1-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CareerOriented1-768x469.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Career security is also something they tend to prioritize, as unemployment is a common problem for people around their age. Getting a job is hard enough in itself, which is why some people end up working outside their degree\u2019s profession. If they\u2019re lucky enough to have an occupation that they truly enjoy, you can expect that they\u2019ll do almost anything to keep that job&#8211; even if it means compromising their romantic prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t feel too down in the dumps if your date gets postponed for overtime work. Find a compromise between your schedules. Try to find a balance between setting aside time to hang out and get to know each other without sacrificing your careers. Don\u2019t be afraid to call them out if they tend to blow you off for work often though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Not Ready for Marriage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re the type that dates to marry, you might want to wait a few more years before popping the big question. Marriage isn\u2019t exactly something a young single Filipino considers immediately while they\u2019re dating, especially with how the economy is lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many prefer cohabitation for a few years, establishing themselves first before even considering marriage in the first place. This likely stems from the desire for stability in all aspects of life, especially financially, before one expands their family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Marriage1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-450\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Marriage1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Marriage1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Marriage1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If young Filipinos are extremely committed it is because they&#8217;re already emotionally invested in a relationship. Most, however, does not mean all. If you\u2019ve started dating someone, make sure that you\u2019re on the same page when it comes to the relationship. State your intentions clearly, whether you\u2019re dating to have fun or to marry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Large Family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re dating a young single Filipino, you\u2019re not just wooing them&#8211; you\u2019re also wooing their family. A major part of Filipino culture is <a href=\"https:\/\/theculturetrip.com\/asia\/philippines\/articles\/11-things-you-should-know-about-the-filipino-culture\/\">close family ties<\/a>, and that includes extended families. Besides meeting the parents and making a good first impression, you\u2019ll also need to get along with your partner\u2019s siblings, cousins, <em>tiyos<\/em> (uncles), and <em>tiyas<\/em> (aunts).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/LargeFamily2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Filipino family playing\" class=\"wp-image-452\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/LargeFamily2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/LargeFamily2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/LargeFamily2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/LargeFamily2-1140x641.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/LargeFamily2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It stands to reason that if you want your relationship to work out, you\u2019ll want to earn the family\u2019s approval too. Here are a few things you can keep in mind and help you get started.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, always be respectful. In some cultures, you\u2019re allowed to call your partner\u2019s parents by their first names. In Filipino culture, however, that is frowned upon. Instead, call them <em>tito<\/em> or <em>tita<\/em>, which, while loosely translated to aunt or uncle, has a slightly different connotation for Filipinos. It\u2019s a respectful yet more familiar way of calling a friend\u2019s parents compared to sir or ma\u2019am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using <em>po<\/em> and <em>opo<\/em> is also advised, to avoid coming across as rude or too assertive when you\u2019re speaking. <em>Pagmamano<\/em> is also something you should practice when greeting elders. It\u2019s a gesture of respect where you press the back of their hands to your forehead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, be thoughtful and inclusive when it comes to your partner\u2019s family. Make a mental note of special occasions, such as their birthdays, and make sure to celebrate it with them. It is one of the best ways to get along with the family, allowing them to see your sincerity in getting to know your partner and your commitment to the relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Modern dating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern technology and the internet has made forging new connections easier&#8211; even romantic connections, thanks to dating apps. This allows people to find partners that are sure to have something in common with them, saving them the hassle of feeling out a person and their personality. In addition, having a good starting point ensures that your relationship gets off on the right foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be surprised to know that young Filipino dating isn\u2019t quite the same while their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/07\/02\/well\/family\/millennials-love-relationships-marriage-dating.html\">relationship progression is slower<\/a>&#8212; they tend to marry after an average of 5 years- they don\u2019t exactly attach the same importance to physical intimacy as older generations do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/client\/signup?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_content=Are%20You%20Ready%20to%20Find%20Love\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"336\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/filipina-cta-blog-336x280.png\" alt=\"Are you ready to find love?\" class=\"wp-image-43\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/filipina-cta-blog-336x280.png 336w, https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/filipina-cta-blog-336x280-300x250.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Intimacy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, physical intimacy serves as a way for most millennials to determine their initial compatibility with their partner. You should keep in mind, however, that Filipino culture is still deeply rooted in conservatism, particularly for older generations. While younger Filipinos are more uninhibited, their family isn\u2019t. If you\u2019re physically intimate with your partner, it\u2019s best to keep it under wraps while speaking with the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ModernDating1-1024x575.jpeg\" alt=\"Young Filipino couple dating\" class=\"wp-image-453\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ModernDating1-1024x575.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ModernDating1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ModernDating1-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ModernDating1-1140x641.jpeg 1140w, https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ModernDating1.jpeg 1242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The prolonged dating period before marriage doesn\u2019t mean that they don\u2019t take relationships seriously&#8211; in fact, it\u2019s the opposite. Younger Filipinos want to lessen the chance of having a failed relationship, so they take their time getting to know the person they\u2019re dating. The longer dating period allows them to fully explore their partner\u2019s personalities and in consequence, identify the chemistry of the relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Practically speaking, however, they also take this as a chance to determine your financial stability. While it isn\u2019t the focal point of dating, it\u2019s something that can majorly affect a relationship in the long run. You don\u2019t exactly need to be an oil tycoon or business CEO to date a young single Filipino. A good credit score and minimal outstanding debts are enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t mean, of course, that they\u2019re exempt from that evaluation. If the person you\u2019re dating sets unreasonable standards that they don\u2019t fulfill, then you might want to talk to them about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Related Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trulyfilipino.com\/blog\/filipino-dating-culture\/\">Filipino Dating Culture: How Dating is Done in the Philippines<\/a><\/p><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h2>Fluent in English<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re dating a younger Filipino, another thing you should know is that they\u2019re incredibly proficient in speaking English.

In some cases, they might even speak English way better than they speak Filipino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You won\u2019t need to worry about miscommunication if your partner is a young Filipino. Although that only solves the verbal aspect of it, it\u2019s a good start towards being able to express your feelings and in turn, understanding theirs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t take their English speaking skills for granted though, as effort should go both ways. Try to learn their native language too, especially if they grew up in the province. Besides English and Filipino, they might also know Bisaya, Bicolano, or Ilokano. You don\u2019t necessarily have to learn it alone.
