“Baka Hindi Ako Seryosohin,” Will Your Foreign Boyfriend be accepting of Filipino culture, and that it would unlikely lead to Marriage

A few Filipino peers expressed concern that “baka hindi ako seryosohin,” that he might not be accepting of Filipino culture, and that it would unlikely lead to marriage. I’ve also gotten judgments from Americans, with one immediately assuming I’d want to get a working visa and move to the US, and that it would be almost impossible to do so. It was disheartening to hear because it appeared like I was a desperate woman instead of a doctor with a career in my home country.

I used to have my own biases about dating foreigners, so the way I deal with the stigma I’m experiencing now is to remember that I once had the same biases, and that instead of taking it personally, I should just shed light on our relationship.

Although culture comes into the picture, finding a match is still largely a matter of personalities coming together. The prejudices you hold against specific races can actually prevent you from finding the right man—the man with the personality most suited for you. I almost missed the chance to meet Nick because of my own prejudices. Don’t let yours hold you back.
