Filipino dating traditions are still
practiced at present although it is less evident in urban areas.

Most of these Filipino dating traditions have
been passed down for generations. Parents are socially
responsible for teaching their children these traditions.
When you court a Filipina, it will be an extensive and
grueling process. For the fact that being "hard to get" is one of
their dating traditions also. Even though she may like her suitor
she should not show any favor instantaneously. Time and effort
are the system of measurement for a suitor's true intention.
Informal introductions are discouraged. You must have the
permission of the lady or the father to visit her at home. During
your visit you are expected to bring gifts for the family and the
lady you want to court. This, of course is required every time
you visit. During the first few visits, it will be more of
informal chatting and getting to know the family and
clarifications of your real intentions. Visiting more often
afterwards and sometimes serenading her at a full moon will show
that you are interested and wish to pursue you intentions.
Dating outside the home requires a chaperon. It should be
someone directly related or close to the family of the woman. In
certain scenarios the whole family comes along to enjoy the time
together.
You do not only aim to win the heart of the woman you desire
but also the favor of the parents as well. If ever you get lucky
you will earn the family's trust, and then after which you can
propose at any given day.
But the proposal also has a way of transpiring traditionally.
The man's parents have to go with him to do a "pamanhikan" or the
wedding proposal. The parents of the man should be the one to
formally ask the woman's hand to marry their son. They also have
to bring with them plenty of food and presents which will be
presented as a dowry to the parents of the lady. Afterwards the
date and place of the wedding is agreed upon by both parties.
These are the early stages of Filipino dating traditions
that are still being observed by many.
