It actually isn't much of a surprise to see the news about what happened to Jennifer Laude.
Though it is sad to be sure because violence and killing are never good.
Truth is there are many people like Jennifer Laude in the Philippines and even S.E. Asia.

care? No! They are people who are making their own dating expression by costume dating and it's not just for losers.
What I mean is that if you actually take the time and talk to them, you find out that many costume daters are professionals and have a college education too. They may be making more money per week than you or I am!
Personally, I have to applaud singles who are brave enough to go out in public dressed in a costume with no party to go to. It takes guts, free thinking and a streak of independence to walk around dressed like a mascot for a sports team or a creature from the world of faerie.
I have gotten to know a group a cosplay artists and I will tell you that they are normal people who just happen to love costuming as a favorite character. As I mentioned before, they are all college educated and manage to hold good paying jobs.
Dressing-up, whether for cosplay or dating requires time, skill and money. The costumes don't make themselves so a person must either buy them, which can get very expensive, or make your own. A cheaper alternative is to check out discount Halloween and party stores, but most of the time what is available to purchase lacks what you need to complete your ensemble.
Imagine putting on the make-up and body paint, arranging a wig or some form of head gear and turning your kitchen into a work room. The patience and skill required is commendable, not to mention the fortitude it takes to tramp around all day with possible 10lbs. or more of extra clothing on.
8 Good Points for Costume Dating
1. When you think about it, it is kinda hot. If you are a woman then you may be paired with a dashing hero from a romantic adventure manga and if you are a guy then a beautiful wood nymph or Lady Vampire.
2. You won't need to worry that the clothes you wore out last weekend are the same you are wearing this weekend.
3. No need to worry about someone that you know pointing their finger because if you are dressed-up they probably won't recognize you anyway!
4. Conversation must be easier since this is so new and different from the norm.
5. Going to a costume party? Sounds fun, when's the last time a lot of us have actually done that?
6. If they introduce you to other costumers, you may meet some rather cool new contacts who just happen to be very talented.
7. At the very least it seems like a fun and different way to break up a "same old thing type of routine".
8. Going along with number 7 I think it can be beneficial to anyone to experience new things because it may just break a negative or unproductive pattern that you have. Such as being way to bored with a current type of dating or person. Feeling down because you are not having any fun or new experiences. Or if you are just plain feeling the blues, then I feel doing something different is just what you need to put you back in the swing of things.
I am not telling you that I think we all should devote ourselves to putting on strange outfits and going out in public but that it seems an OK way to add some variety and fun into your life. Maybe, just try it or do it occasionally for a change of pace.
Some people raise issues about the types of personalities that may participate in these kinds of match-ups but I don't think it is any different than any form of interest or at most, fetish. Granted, you may want to watch out for signs of strange behavior, especially if you don't know the person but that is true no matter what you are doing.
As I mentioned the group of cosplay artists may tend to date amongst themselves but are actually totally normal and you would never know they dressed up if they didn't tell you. You would never know.
In closing I will mention that I am not an affiliate of any program promoting this type of dating. I am posting this because I think it is interesting and has potential value in more than one way, to many individuals.
I think that I would sort of enjoy walking around with a girl dressed up in Gothic clothing or a faerie outfit. How about you?

Welcome to Dating Expression |
Sampaguitas Dating changed the name of the blog to Dating Expressions as part of the new move. It was felt that the name was more expressive of the heart of what we hope to accomplish.
Dating advice? You want some or not?
I can give you the ultimate, the best in the world top dating tips that will surely save you from your current disastrous relationship.
Please don't listen without taking it with a grain of salt and careful consideration of your own situation.
I recommend that if you read articles or listen to anyone, whether they are an expert relationship counselor or your mother or best friend, use this piece of dating advice before any other.
Surely you have already heard some pretty stupid tips from people that you have already talked to.
As I mentioned before, always consider your own situation carefully before listening because the person giving the advice probably doesn't know all the details on what you are going through. Without knowing those small things it is actually hard to give advice that seems like the best course of action.
So many things lead up to a current problem and without that knowledge your adviser is in the dark.
Not to mention, we are not all knowing sages who are able to read or predict your future.
Like the next posts I clipped below for you, I am glad that I always have used my head and did what I thought was best or even the only real available option when it comes to listening to others. I may value your input, but it doesn't mean I will follow it!

Don't Listen to Dating Advice? Top Dating Tips

Print ArticleUpdated:
I'm not saying dating is hard. After enough trial and error, most of us get the hang of it. I just didn't like the entire process -- the inherent uncertainty, the lack of clear guidelines, the seeming futility. Most of all, I disliked the constant stream of advice from friends.
While a bachelor, I never lacked dating advice.
To be sure, some of it was helpful. Most of it, though, ended up making matters worse.
That's how I treated my friend's advice. I heard it, but I didn't accept it..Full Article Here

I like what Mr. Perkins has to say about his not following the advice of his friends. The tips given him were sort of silly and some were the rather generic kind we so often hear. Such as, don't look for love, it will find you and other tidbits of that sort.
While we can't rush love,we can still be actively dating and meeting new people. After all, what is the fun of being single if you are not enjoying it to the fullest extent you can?

Just Because You Saw it on Television, Doesn't Mean it's True
Originally titled Reality TV influences happy relationships, sitcoms poison them
You might want to avoid sitcoms for a while Jul 14, 2014
I used to have a friend who refused to watch romantic comedies.
She said she packed up all of her DVDs and would be avoiding most sitcoms and dramas, too. According to her, she felt like these shows and their depicted relationships were messing with her head and her expectations for dating and love.
I remember thinking, "That's probably really smart," before returning home and turning on Grey's Anatomy.
It makes sense that what we watch on television has off-screen implications, but how serious are they and what should this mean about our habits? Read it in Full Here
I believe that we should always be careful about listening to advice or even believing anything just because we saw it on television or heard it on the radio.
May be true that watching certain shows can influence our thinking. I guess it does make sense if you consider that television often makes us laugh and cry. If it influences our emotions then I guess it can influence our thinking too.
