I need you all to know that I cannot pick up signals someone is into me even if it's in my face bc my default is "I can't assume they're into me, maybe they're just like that" unless explicitly told otherwise

There should be more cultural clashes between the Autobots and their human allies/pals, especially on the language front. Yeah, Spike's name is hilarious, but there's more.

The film Car and its sequels would make the 'bots either super interested or, if it's a sparkling fic, really uncomfortable.

Not because of the plot or anthromorphic features. Because of the soundtracks. "Life is a Highway," "Real Gone," and "Ride" sound like sex songs to them. Not the wink-wink-it's-inferred, it's straight-up sex. Like they ain't prude, but damn squishes, y'all roll like that?

'Driver' and 'rider' can be sexual euphemisms to Cybertronians. It's their equivalent to 'pitcher' and 'catcher.' Similar to 'crash' and how long it can be slang for 'extreme overload' because a mecha reboots or glitches out.

So just imagine, some of the Cybertronians reevaluating their neighbors, especially when they find dating app profiles going, "I like Pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and long car rides under the stars."

Random 'bot/'con: all right, all right, let's see how's that endurance

Blind Date (claudia pina x reader)

Summary: In which you find yourself a reluctant victim of Alexia's matchmaking services. And maybe that's not such a bad thing after all.

———

Your leg bounces up and down beneath the table as you wait for your date to arrive. You don’t know anything about her except that her name is Claudia. Though Alexia has promised that you’re going to get along, you can’t calm your racing heart while you wait.

It’s not even that this is a blind date that makes you nervous, but this is pretty much your first proper date full stop since coming out. Sure, you’ve had a couple of disastrous attempts at trying to talk to girls on dating apps, but Alexia is certain that she’s found “the one” for you and after weeks of her begging you to give this mystery girl a chance, you eventually caved and agreed to the date.

You really doubt that your first ever date with a girl will end up being “the one”, but you’ve got to get off the mark at some point and in the worst case scenario, you’ll be one terrible date closer to finding the actual woman you’re supposed to spend the rest of your life with.

You glance up and see a girl being directed to your table by a waitress and know without even needing to ask that this is your date because you recognise her. You’re not a total diehard football fan but you’ve been to watch Alexia play enough times to know that the person walking towards you right now is Claudia Pina.

Of course Alexia would set you up on a blind date with a footballer. And not just any footballer, but one of her own teammates.

“Hi,” you say, pushing back your chair so you can get to your feet and greet her with a hug. “Claudia, right?”

“It’s nice to meet you,” Claudia says.

As you take your seats, you fall into silence. Your mind goes blank, completely forgetting how to start a conversation. Though you were nervous before the date, you hadn’t anticipated exactly how awkward it would be to have dinner with somebody you know nothing about, and you curse Alexia for pushing you into this.

“So, um,” you stammer, “you play football with Alexia?”

Claudia looks up from the menu in her hands and you find yourself caught in the piercing gaze of her blue eyes. 

“Yeah,” Claudia answers with a nod. “She’s always been like a big sister to me but as I’m getting older she’s started getting invested in my love life. Or lack of it.”

Claudia gives you a wry smile that immediately makes you feel more at ease.

“Don’t worry, there’s no expectation tonight,” Claudia continues. “I agreed to this date mostly to get Alexia off my back. If we have fun that’s a nice bonus.”

You relax slightly knowing that Claudia feels the same about this date.

“Ever since I came out to my cousin she’s been desperate to set me up with someone,” you explain.

“Your cousin?” Claudia frowns at you in confusion.

“Yeah, Alexia.”

Claudia’s eyes widen suddenly.

“Alexia is your cousin?”

“She really didn’t tell you anything about me, did she?” you ask, laughing in amusement.

You probably should have expected this - Alexia told you next to nothing about Claudia either, maybe knowing that you’d be more determined in your protests if you knew she was setting you up with one of her teammates. You wonder if Claudia would have felt the same way if she knew her date tonight was actually related to Alexia.

“No,” Claudia admits, shaking her head. “All she said is that you were nice and not a murderer. Which, of course, made it sound like you might be a murderer.”

Claudia’s blue eyes twinkle as she gives you a look as if asking you to confirm or deny the theory.

“Don’t worry, the only person at risk of getting murdered is Alexia,” you grin.

“What did she tell you about me?” Claudia asks.

“Not much. That she had a friend she thought I’d get on with. She said you were funny.”

“Shit,” Claudia groans. “I think she might have already oversold me to you.”

“Well she didn’t tell me you were this pretty,” you say, feeling a surge of bravery - this is supposed to be a date, after all.

Claudia smiles at the compliment and counters, “And she didn’t tell me what a charmer you are.”

You smile to yourself. There’s plenty of time for this to go wrong, but Claudia’s warm personality and the immediate chemistry between you has already started to settle your early nerves.

———

You don’t know exactly what Alexia’s logic was behind setting you two up on a date, but what you thought was probably going to end up being an awkward dinner between two random single people that Alexia knows, ends up being a really good date. It turns out you have more to bond over than just your resentment towards Alexia for pushing you into this, and the conversation flows effortlessly as you eat.

Alexia was right, Claudia is funny, but you also get glimpses at other things that you really like about her - her passion, her goofiness, her kind heart. 

The restaurant isn’t far from the sea and once you’ve eaten dinner and agreed to split the bill between you, you decide to go for a walk along the seafront promenade that looks out over the beach. You’ve just missed the sunset, but the shades of orange and pink still spill out across the sky as night continues to fall.

“You know, this is actually my first date with a girl,” you admit to Claudia, as you walk side by side along the beachfront. 

“Really?” Claudia asks. She laughs, then says, “I don’t know if that’s good or bad for me.”

You’re having a good time, the conversation is easy, and the awkwardness has long since faded away. You’re having fun and you’re not afraid of letting Claudia know that.

“You’re setting the bar quite high.”

“My first date with a girl was a disaster,” Claudia tells you. “I was so nervous that I knocked over not one but two drinks. Then at the end, I went in for a kiss and she pushed me away. Turns out she had a boyfriend and had no idea I thought it was a date.”

You can’t help but laugh at Claudia’s misfortune.

“No way.”

“Yeah,” Claudia nods. “I only found that out after I’d paid for everything. Talk about humiliating. I didn’t go on another date for months.”

“No wonder Alexia’s having to set you up if you’re that bad at reading signals.”

“Watch it,” Claudia warns you. “I’m still a bit traumatised by it all.”

“For what it’s worth, I’m really enjoying myself tonight. Way more than I thought I would. Sure, I’m a little disappointed you haven’t spilled a drink on me yet, but apart from that I’m having a lot of fun with you.”

“Fuck,” Claudia says, stopping in her tracks.

You stop walking too and turn to look at her.

“What?” you ask.

“I really want to take you on a second date,” Claudia admits with a grimace.

“Is that … is that a bad thing?” you ask cautiously.

“It’s a terrible thing,” Claudia explains. “Do you know how insufferable Alexia will be if she finds out her matchmaking has been a success?”

With Claudia’s words, you can already imagine Alexia’s glee. She’s right - facing Alexia will be torture.

“Bold of you to assume I’d say yes to a second date,” you can’t resist teasing Claudia. “I mean, I’d be up for it, but I don’t think my boyfriend would be too happy…”

Claudia smacks your shoulder.

“You’re as annoying as your cousin,” she says, before she adds with a smirk. “Better looking though.”

She starts walking again and you fall into step beside her, your heart doing a little flip when she reaches for your hand and tangles your fingers together.

“If you keep saying stuff like that I’m going to want to kiss you,” you tell her.

“Stuff like what, that you’re annoying?” she asks, turning her head and arching an eyebrow at you.

“Yeah, just like that.”

“You’re annoying,” Claudia grins at you.

It’s probably as clear an invitation as you’re going to get. You stop walking again and step closer, waiting for some kind of signal from Claudia that she doesn’t want this, but her eyes drop to your lips and you know she does. One of your hands goes to her waist, barely grazing her jacket as you let your eyes flutter shut and dip your head to kiss her. 

Claudia responds straight away, much more confident than you in the way her hands seek out your hips to hold you close as her lips brush against yours. It feels so right, the connection you’ve made with Claudia over dinner translating immediately into physical chemistry too. 

You can hardly believe this is actually happening. You started tonight expecting the worst but here you are, on your first proper date with a girl as she kisses you against the backdrop of ocean waves and orange skies. It’s not your first kiss with a girl but it might as well be, for how right it feels compared to the ones that have come before.

After a minute that feels like forever you pull back, though only just far enough that you can look her in the eyes.

“So, is a second date still on the cards?” you dare to ask.

“Kiss me like that and you can have whatever you want.”

You don’t know if that’s an invitation to kiss Claudia again, but her lips are so addictive that you lean in for another kiss anyway, more confident the second time around as your hand slips beneath her jacket to hold her waist.

When you eventually break apart, you smile at how pretty she is in the evening light, and wonder if the slightly dazed expression on her face is mirrored on your own.

“Thank you,” you say.

“For the kiss?” 

“For a great first ever date,” you clarify.

“And the kiss though, right?” Claudia grins at you.

You slap Claudia’s arm lightly, then let your fingers trail down the soft skin of her inner forearm until you can hold her hand again, and you resume your walk along the beachfront.

“The kiss was nice too,” you hum in agreement. “Look, if Alexia asks how tonight went…”

“We had a good time but we’re just friends?” Claudia suggests, arching an eyebrow at you.

Even after one date this feels like the start of something really special. Alexia may be able to claim credit for introducing you to each other, but you want the chance to get to know Claudia without your cousin’s meddling, and if you tell her tonight has been a success then you know Alexia will continue to interfere. 

You smile across at Claudia and squeeze her fingers as you say, “It’s like you’re reading my mind.”

"Do you like Pina coladas? Getting caught in the rain...."

Catchy lil tune from a mellower time, right? Good tune.

But what's it about? It's sung like a personal ad. (Or these days a dating app/site.)

It sounds all cutesy. One person answers another's desire to meet and escape into a torrid relationship.

So what happens? The guy gets to the bar first. He's excited to meet this new woman. And in walks the lady that he's already in a committed relationship with.

Do they get embarrassed that they were going to cheat on each other in the rain while drinking Pina coladas? Does it get all Jerry Springer? Is there anger, pain, jealousy? No. They laugh about it. It's a joke to them.

"I was expecting someone else!"

"Me too!" Oh my Hahahahaha

Give me a break Lol

[quoteasks]

Did you know that song is about some gal leaving an ad in the newspaper (back before dating apps) about how she's looking for someone who likes Pina colada and getting caught in the rain etc. And another guy sees it and sends her a letter about YEAH HE LIKES PINA COLADAS AND GETTING CAUTHT IN THE RAIN ETC. and they decided to meet up and turns out they're actually each other's significant others and they're already married and uhbhhhhhh yeah so they're like "wowzers I didn't know that abt you" and then their love gets rekindled. So anyways what's your thoughts on the song plot thibgy

Yeah, I find it to be a really wholesome story, and i like how it subverts your expectations at the third verse! I love songs that tell stories in general, it's so fun to try and read between the lines to figure stuff out, like with poetry!

[xoteajays]

"I’m used to spiders die to being an Australian." Wait.. What? Now I'm so confused. That makes no sense to me. Maybe rephrase that again.

I don't mind spiders. I would have a problem if an animal or insect has been venomous, since I would not want me or my dog to be poisoned by venomous creatures. But there's rarely ever poisonous creatures in my town. So I don't have to worry too much about being bitten either.

I might have to say black widow spider might be my favorite spider so that probably isn't surprising. And not because of Scarlett Johansson either! I am not a fan of her. Widows represent female empowerment.

Black widows spiders, and maybe butterflies, would be some of these insects I like. That I know of. Because no other insects come to mind.

Honestly? I have mixed feelings about snakes. Like.. I know, I know... I know that it is a part of the animal kingdom where one animals would eat another animal. But I never want to see that. I do know about how that works. But I never want to see that part of nature. So that reason is why I'm not exactly fond of snakes. Snakes could actually eat other animals and even humans whole. I would be considered a snack to so many snakes, and my dog too (since she's only a yochan breed so she is a small dog too). I think that might be my reason why I hate snakes.

A part of me is still iffy about Cobra and even the Mugen gang having been associated with snakes as the animal motifs. Despite being very interested in the whole ouroboros aspect of the Mugen gang though.

~

I don't know? I don't pay attention to superstitions that much so I just can't comment on that. I know just very little information about these superstitions... Superstitions in general. I'm still annoyed about how a black cats are rarely taken in by people because of that superstition is ridiculous to me. And I will just fight people over that superstition too.

And I will really judge people for not taking care of black cats either.

I will actually fight Shizuka if she has superstitions about black cats.

Personally... I can't imagine Hyuga and Kato as superstitious. But you had a similar thought to me about that. Because they're traditional as they are, they might have more traditional beliefs and ideals, whether or not those two are actually superstitious. But that's just my opinion.

And to add on to traditions. Red is traditionally a Japanese color, only because red represents power in Japanese cultures. And the flag too.

~

Drinking wine in the afternoon? Seems weird to me. Like.. I just would be unusual in my opinion. I would be fine with drinking during the day for some events, or something, but just drinking during the day really does seem unusual to me for some reason. So I'm not really sure why.

Yeah... I knew that champagne and white wine were different types of alcohols. I had champagne once before at a baby shower. But I'm not really sure why I can't remember the drink? I might have to try again - if there is ever an opportunity to drink champagne. And, I'd never had white wine, so I can't comment on that. But if I'm lucky.. I try avoiding events like weddings, receptions, baby showers, any of the events I'm never able to tolerate. Rocky would be disappointed in me about this.

Whiskey flavored ice cream? That's weird. I don't like pina coladas but that one makes more sense to me because of the ingredients that do actually make this drink could also be used for some ice cream flavor.

~

When I am overly heated, I do sweat a lot sometimes... So I know how that is. Especially during my teenage years. I sweated way too much.

I can say that same about not having a boyfriend. And any man I have been attracted to is unattainable, or is fictional... Sometimes for those main reasons. And because I've never even been anyone's type either.

Not only do I hate dating apps, but I never trust dating apps either as so many people catfish others. You never know if they're murders and rapists.. Especially since someone of my size can actually be so easily kidnapped, raped and murdered. I heard that comment my whole life.

~

Are you still close to this cousin? Was them hitting you accidental? Or were they upset? Well.. You did say that you were playing around with them. So that answers that question. But they still seemed too rough.

Fiji? Fiji mountains in Japan. No.. Wait. That's Fuji, not Fiji. So what is Fiji then? Unless this is about another mountain that I don't know of.

I was never on vacation. I never traveled anywhere either. I never even went to fun places (that I would want to go to). I'd really like to travel.

Anyway.

My ears always ring, even lose hearing, whenever I injure myself. That always happened to me. That I know of. If I'm remembering correctly.

Injures hurt worse during the night and when you first wake up in the morning. I don't know why that is though. Wait.. "During the night, there is a drop in the stress hormone cortisol which has an anti-inflammatory response. There is less inflammation, less healing, so the damage to bone due to the above conditions accelerates in the night, with pain as the side-effect." So that answers that question at least. I was always curious about why pain was worse at night time.

Like I told you. Stairs are always my worst enemy any time I'm injured for some reason that I don't know. Stairs hate me, and I hate stairs.

~

We've never really had our own garden. So who knows.. Things would be different if we had more practice planting any plants and flowers - including fruits and vegetables too. If we ever started gardening then.

Cuts? Pieces of plants and flowers?

Still not surprised about your reaction to bee orchids.

~

The one time the two cops were able to actually do their job, they just altered information. Which is a good and bad thing depending on any opinions on the story and characters. At least they won't get caught... But that may mean mafia boss ends up dead by the end of this series then. Unless mafia boss finds out some other way then. I don't know.

Yes. Maya Hawke dies in the beginning of Fear Street: 1994. And with Sadie Sink, she's the main character in 1978 and 1666 (depending on which version of the character we're talking about) - but Sadie would be the teenage actor for one of the adult characters. Really watch the third movie soon. Just to wrap up the story. And to find out the end.

I've never been fond of found footage movies... Those are the movies where it seems like people are recording the story as if it were on any video cameras or phones? I hate those movies. That bothers me very much. Trying to watch the movie with cameras shaking around is no.

I've seen some of the Paranormal Activity franchise and I've also seen some of the VHS franchise but I haven't seen the newer movies yet.. I can't comment about the newer movies. I've seen Quarantine before.

What about #Awake? I've seen the American version. Apparently I did not know that it was a remake from a Korean zombie movie, so I may have to watch the Korean version soon too. Because I'm curious now.

I'm trying to think of some movies, maybe shows, of the horror genre.

~

I know we recently were talking about tattoos and piercings. And.. I'm not sure how you feel about face claims having modifications in ways you might like. I don't know. But AleXa recently got her nose pierced.

~

We're having the most random conversations right now.

How the fuck did that happen?!

- 💋

due! i’m used to spiders due to being an australian! can autocorrect help me out even one time?!!

i think snakes are cool! like pythons are cool and i’ve held big ones before, and hognoses are so cute.

i also love rhino beetles (they hiss!!), we used to have them around my house when i was a kid. the grubs used to live in our compost garden before they metamorphosed. i can still remember how they felt when holding them. cannot describe it, you just need to hold one. and moths and mantises are cool!

~

black cats are actually a sign of good luck, prosperity and wealth in japan! so shizuka’s a fan! i actually considered giving her a black cat as a pet, to match her black cat boyfriend hiroto.

~

it’s always hot in australia, so i’ve got no luck no matter what. always gonna be sweating. doesn’t help that because the place i work is so big that the air conditioning doesn’t have any effect, so i’m sweating for hours at work too. i put on so much perfume and deodorant before and during my work shifts.

dating apps suck! i was briefly on a couple apps, but i need a more human interaction to make an actual connection. i’m pretty bad at messaging back and i dont really know how to talk to people. my friend has met multiple boyfriends through dating apps, but it’s hard out here for an awkward lesbian.

doesn’t help that i’m also closeted to my family who i live with.

~

nah. we don’t talk anymore. i think he moved away and has a kid (or two?) now. they were just kind of a douche, it definitely wasn’t an accident, he pushed me on purpose and thought it was funny until i burst into tears and got up bleeding out of my mouth. i don’t remember if he got in trouble.

fiji? like the fiji islands? north of new zeland, east of the coast of australia? is it not a popular tourist destination in america like it is in australia?

~

i think he’s getting curious now, but i don’t know who he’ll turn to for information since his guy’s dead and he kicked his suspicious friend out of the gang. also the wife and the cop would continue lying to him if he pushed back against their stories. i hope he doesn’t die. i hope he gets away. but he probably won’t.

i just think found footage is fun when done well. but i guess that could be said about any movie. they’re just fun! blair witch project is like The found footage movie, but it’s not my favourite. it’s like, a cult classic tho. and the whole marketing ploy around it was a neat idea for the time.

do you mean alone? the american version of #alive? i haven’t seen the american one, but i watched the korean version. it was alright. i mean, it was no all of us are dead or train to busan.

~

talking to me means we’ll no doubt get off topic. cannot stick to one thing agdhdjdl

properly improper by @lizardcookie

James and Lily grew up next door to one another. Their bedroom windows giving them glimpses into the others life, and also offering prime opportunities to argue with each other over every little thing. They never figured out how to be friends when they were kids, but now that they've graduated from college and are home for the summer, they have a second chance to get things right.

Let Me Love You by @thejilyship

With only a month until she's set to take the throne of Gryffindor, Lily is informed that she'll have to get married or choose to give up her throne. She never thought she'd have to even entertain the idea of an arranged marriage. Enter, James Potter.

Marigold Mornings by @mppmaraudergirl

This is a fun game she thinks, as she removes her hand from his side and reaches up to run it down his chest.  He catches her hand in his own, takes a step forward so that her nose nearly brushes against his shirt. She can feel the heat radiating off of him—or maybe it’s from her. He licks his lips and her eyes are drawn to the motion.  She knows it is a bad idea, absolutely knows it.

When Lily Evans accidentally sends a text to the wrong number, she isn’t expecting to find the right person behind it. She can’t stop talking to Prongs. The only thing is, Prongs can’t stop talking about the girl in his class. What could go wrong, other than the number?

The Kiss a Stranger Project by @alrightginger

“What’s your name, then?” she asks, realizing they haven’t even properly introduced themselves yet. She nervously crosses her arms.

You shouldn’t kiss a guy without knowing his name first.

Right?

[lovemesomesurveys]

What do you like about the house you live in? I like that it has tile floors.  What's the most cliche song you can think of right now? I heard that Pina Colada song a few times yesterday in different TV shows and it’s used in various other shows and films as well.  Name three of your favourite crepe toppings. I’ve only had a crepe a couple times, both of which had bananas and chocolate syrup.  Do you watch How I Met Your Mother? What did you think of the ending? I saw a few episodes and caught parts of it now and then, but I never really got into it. I did try to give a real chance once and just couldn’t get into it.  Have you ever played paintball? Did you get hit? No, I’ve never played. I wouldn’t enjoy something like that. 

Right now, are you too hot, too cold or just right? I’m kind of hot.  What was your favourite fairy tale when you were a kid? Alice in Wonderland.  How do you feel today? Tell me about it. It’s only 1:16AM, but as of now I’m feeling hot, tired, and kind of hungry.  What's the weather like today? It’s currently 63F. I think it’s supposed to be in the upper 80s later on.  Do you ever use a laptop in bed? Yeah, that’s always where I use my laptop.  What were you doing in 2014? I was doing my last full year at UC.  Are you wearing socks right now? What colour are they? No. What time are you taking this survey? It’s 1:18AM now.  Have you ever eaten Caribbean food? No. Do you need to make any purchases soon, big or small? I need to get my laptop checked out and see if it can be fixed, which I know will cost a lot. I wish I could just buy a new one, but I definitely can’t afford it. I’m so thankful my brother has lent me his and I’ve been able to use it all this time (mine went kaput back in April) cause he rarely used his. I can’t just keep his, though, I eventually need to get my own somehow.  What was the first movie you saw at the cinema? How old were you? It wasn’t the first, but the first one I remember seeing is the Rugrats movie. Do you feel hopeful for the future? The future scares me, I have to just take things a day at a time.  Where did you last fly to on a plane? Back home from LA.  If you were going on a daytime date tomorrow, what would you wear? A graphic tee and leggings like I always wear.  Are your parents still together? If not, do you know why? Yes. Have you ever been evicted? Why? No. Would you say you're an organised person? For the most part I would say I am. I’ve been lacking a little the past few years cause I just haven’t had the energy or motivation. I’m currently bedridden and my room isn’t as organized and clean as I’d like it to be.  Have you ever worked as a manager or supervisor? No. Do you eat at a table or on the couch? We don’t have a table, I typically eat in bed (currently that’s the only place). Sometimes I’d eat in the living room or in my parents’ room if my mom was in there.  Tell me something good about the last week of your life. I finally have that damn swallow test scheduled. Hopefully I’ll be able to eat whatever I want soon.  When was the last time you heard a siren? What kind? I heard an ambulance siren about a month ago. Do you like jogging? I don’t jog.  What brand is your TV? Phillips.  What was the last thing you voted for? A poll someone I’m subscribed to on Youtube posted.  Do you remember much from high school? Not really to be honest.  What's the longest you've ever stayed awake? Why did you do it? Like 30-something hours. I certainly didn’t plan to, it just happened.  Do you live in the state/province/territory you were born in? Yes.  What do you want to eat right now? I wish I could have ramen.  Have you ever been wrongfully accused of something? No. What are the five apps on your phone that you use most often? Kindle Unlimited, this crossword game app, Facebook, email, Twitter.  What's one of the most useless things you've ever purchased? I don’t consider anything I buy to be useless, I bought it because I liked it and wanted it.

How to Tell If a Filipina Really Loves You: Signs to Watch For and the Best Way to Meet Filipinas

Navigating love and relationships can sometimes be challenging, especially when cultures are involved. If you’re dating a Filipina and wondering how to tell if a Filipina really loves you, there are key signs to look for that reflect deep affection and commitment. Filipina women are known for their loyalty, warmth, and family-oriented values, but understanding the subtle and sincere ways they express love can make a world of difference in your relationship.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the emotional indicators of a Filipina’s love and also offer insights into the best way to meet Filipinas, whether you're new to dating or seeking a meaningful relationship.

Signs She Truly Loves You

She Involves You in Her Family Life Family is the core of Filipino culture, and if your Filipina partner introduces you to her family or talks about them often, it’s a clear sign she’s serious about the relationship. In the Philippines, involving a significant other with the family is a step that usually only happens when a woman is emotionally invested and sees a future together.

She Prioritizes Your Needs One of the key signs of knowing how to tell if a Filipina really loves you is through her selflessness. If she prioritizes your happiness and well-being, whether by cooking your favorite meals, planning her day around your schedule, or going out of her way to support you, it shows genuine care. Filipinas express love by ensuring their partner is well taken care of.

Consistent Communication In any long-distance relationship or even local dating scenario, constant communication is crucial. A Filipina who genuinely loves you will check in often, be it through texts, calls, or video chats. It’s their way of ensuring you're a priority in their life. Consistent efforts to maintain contact, especially when apart, are clear indicators of affection.

She Talks About the Future Discussing future plans together, whether that involves moving in, marriage, or traveling, is another way to gauge her commitment. Filipinas are usually future-focused when it comes to serious relationships, and if she’s openly talking about “us” or “we” when discussing future goals, it’s a major sign that she envisions a life with you.

She Shares Her Culture with You Filipinas are very proud of their heritage, and if she’s sharing aspects of Filipino culture like traditions, cuisine, or language, it's a strong indicator she wants you to understand and appreciate her roots. Love for her culture means love for you, as she wants you to be a part of what makes her who she is.

The Best Way to Meet Filipinas

If you're still searching for that special someone, it’s important to know the best way to meet Filipinas. Platforms like Filipino2Meet offer an excellent opportunity to connect with Filipinas looking for meaningful relationships.

Online Dating Platforms Today, online dating has become one of the easiest and most convenient ways to meet Filipinas, especially if you are located outside the Philippines. With the right platform, like Filipino2Meet, you can connect with genuine Filipinas who are interested in building a strong relationship. These platforms offer a safe and user-friendly environment to engage in conversations, learn about each other’s lives, and build rapport before meeting in person.

Cultural Events and Social Gatherings Attending Filipino cultural events, festivals, and social gatherings in your local area can be another best way to meet Filipinas. These events give you an opportunity to immerse yourself in Filipino culture while meeting people who share the same values and interests.

Visiting the Philippines If you’re serious about finding love, visiting the Philippines can offer a first-hand experience in understanding Filipino culture and meeting potential partners. Traveling to cities like Manila, Cebu, or Davao opens up opportunities to meet people in everyday situations while also enjoying the beauty of the country. Moreover, a face-to-face meeting can help you quickly identify how to tell if a Filipina really lovesyou.

Building a Strong Connection

Love transcends borders, and when dating a Filipina, understanding her cultural background and the way she expresses love can deepen your relationship. Whether you’re dating long-distance or in-person, the emotional cues mentioned above will help you understand if her feelings are sincere.

Moreover, finding the right partner is easier with platforms like Filipino2Meet, which bridges the gap between Filipino women and foreign men looking for serious relationships. This platform provides you with the best avenue to connect, learn about each other’s lives, and potentially build a future together.

By recognizing the signs of love and choosing the best way to meet Filipinas, your journey towards a fulfilling relationship will be much smoother and more rewarding.

Ok so I've had this idea rolling around but fuck me I'm not a writer.

So you know the Pina Coolada song? If you're up for it, could you write a best friends to lovers where Peter and his bestie are clearly in love with eachother, but thinks the other isn't interested in them. And a new dating app comes out and the reader is like no Pete you should do it youre such a catch, and hes sad that the reader isnt into him, so he'll only do it if they do too *small angst*. But the app is anonymous (maybe you have to talk a certain time frame before it unlocks contact info, maybe they want to stay anon) but anyway THEYRE TALKING TO EACHOTHER and eventually meet up and are like I didn't know you liked Pina cooladas and I'm your best friend and I didn't know, and the other says there's a lot you don't know about me!

I'm sorry this is long and specific go with what you feel!

ah this is such a sweet idea and i feel horrible whenever i do this but i honestly don’t think there’s much i can add </3 but again it’s cute and thank you for sharing lovely!

[justicebled]

some psa / vacation / etc.

so, a few things, also explains my slowness / focusing on asks above threads to raven, all my new brave vesperia pals / castmates / and mutuals.

next week i’m going on a vacation trip for a week! bringing my laptop and i’ll pop in to fill the dash but. it’s not my priority to focus writing when i’m supposed to get a well needed rest. shit happens in life. as you know it’s been happenin’ to all of us! i’m not so stubborn and prideful ( i kinda am ) that i won’t know my limits.

 so i’ll be leaving on sunday, and i’ll give a small psa that i’ll queue fo you to get a head’s up. and yes i’m goin’ somewhere tropical i love my nieces and nephews but i am the cool aunt and i am going to spray them with water guns and splash them silly. no mercy. ( i actually do care i’m just the chaotic / neutral aunt / cool one. ) 

new theme by @zelotae​ ! gonna put it up at her discretion and make it dash only while i tinker with it. i’m bad at coding! 

also this is exciting but...for a year and a half i’ve been planning to rescue a dog from an adoption agency. i sent in my application three days ago. my first one so far is for a great pyrenees. you’d think i’d have a german shepherd or wolf like dog but! big polar bear. either way i’ll likely if she doesn’t come through name the dog sasha. in essence? she’ll be my partner. my repede so to speak.

this really takes a lot of my stubborn pride but i’ll be going on some meds to get the brain fog’s ass kicked post trip. i’m pretty tough so i’ll be able to manage and do what i wanna. but if i act weird head’s up i guess?

as my brain fog clears, by my own desire, my ability to do threads i owe will. like the strawberry moon incident ( looking at you raven ) . 

essentially also i’ll be focusing on giving some attention to fullmetal goblin aka edward el.ric / yu.na. yuri is the blog. but i consider them projects / hobbies. so thanks for bein’ patient i guess! i really do appreciate everyone’s interest and if we haven’t interacted before you  genuinely can ping me. my focus is organizing for the trip and packing and also my application has me a bit distracted. i really like the dog i looked at it, but as a hard realist as awesome as the app i feel was? i know if it’s not her it’ll be someone else. and yes she’ll get a ‘pede’ at the end of her chosen name as a nickname because 

short threads will be prioritized and i won’t take on any more asks at this time. me bein’ ‘slow’ doesn’t equal disinterest. i have a lot of admittedly talented partners, and some of you got inside and have even become friends. so you know my intentions for a rough personality. anyway!

........i really wanna splash or dunk my nephew. okay not dunk but. i am the one who encouraged him in minecraft to set stuff on fire. i was so proud he did. my sister was not pleased...

that’s it folks and as it draws nearer i’ll drop the dates for my own organization of the trip HAH. your girl’s gonna be sipping pina coladas and trolling her family.  stay rebellious.

[babbushka]

(You don’t have to respond/post this) but I saw your tags and just wanted to say that I think it’s super fucking awesome that you did that! Putting yourself out there is hard and I am so excited for you and hope that this brings someone absolutely wonderful into your life because you deserve it!!! 💓💓💓 You only deserve the best so if someone tries any funny business I’ll THROW HANDS

Oh my goshhh Maddie my QUEEN I’m so nervous about the whole thing!!! I’m waiting for the classified to get approved and posted, and who even knows when that will be, but I’m just so anxious over it all. Gosh what if it’s folks just lookin’ to be mean that reach out? What if no one reaches out at all?? Idk which would be worse lol. 

It’s just....ugh! 2020 was supposed to be my year to meet someone and fall in love dammit and that didn’t happen. I’m too afraid of dating apps and like, the culture of online dating is something that really freaks me out, so I thought that this was something a little more old-school. I’m too romantic for my own good really, lol that “pina colada and getting caught in the rain” song is what pushed me over the edge to just submit the damn ad. 

I hope it works out, if not I think I’ll just be embarrassed. Dating is terrifying, lmao like it genuinely keeps me awake at night the thought of having to go through the mortifying process of exposing yourself and opening yourself to someone only for them to break up with you -- I just want to be in a nice, loving, committed marriage with my perfect person from the get-go and not have to deal with any of the other bullshit, you know?

Lol sorry this is such a long response I’m just !! anxious. And all this for something that isn’t even approved and posted yet, lol! I’ll definitely keep you updated (or the rest of blog if anyone else cares) but for right now, I’m still just on pins and needles lol

[i-am-the-quintessential-queer]

The Pina Colada song in 2021 translation really is about a married couple who both were secretly attempting to cheat but end up matching with each other on a dating app anyway

I don’t know what to do with this information
