My Unexpected Love Story: Finding My Filipina Fiancée, Mercy

Watch Les' story and on how he found his Fiancée

Hi, my name is Les, and I’m from the United States. I’m a real estate developer. I joined AFA to, uh, meet the love of my life, and I did.” I’ve always been a bit of a romantic, but after hitting my 30s and seeing friends settle down, I started to wonder if I’d ever find “the one.” Western dating just wasn’t working for me. Then, about five or six years ago, I stumbled upon A Foreign Affair (AFA) while browsing online. Intrigued, I joined their website but didn’t think much of it at the time. Life got in the way, and then the pandemic hit, putting international travel on hold.

The Decision to Join an AFA Tour

Fast forward to this year: I was ready to find love and decided to take a leap of faith with AFA. I signed up for a tour to the Philippines, excited about the prospect of meeting new people and experiencing a different culture. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting to find my soulmate, figuring I’d have a great time regardless. After all, I was headed to a beautiful island filled with beautiful women! Even if I didn’t find “the one,” I was determined to enjoy myself.

The Unexpected Camaraderie

The tour exceeded my expectations, particularly the camaraderie among the men. Unlike the often competitive atmosphere I was used to back home, the guys on the tour were incredibly supportive and encouraging. We quickly became friends, bonding over our shared experiences and hopes for finding love. The camaraderie was a real highlight and something I hadn’t anticipated.

I’m confident some of the connections I made will last a lifetime. “In the United States men can be very competitive…but here you know almost all of us that were on the tour became instant friends and supporting each other and encouraging each other and you know it was it was a great experience from that perspective that I think is something people overlook.”

Meeting Mercy: The Turning Point

Then, I met Mercy. On the second night of the social event, I was already getting a feel for things and started asking the women specific questions to get to know them better. One question, in particular, revealed a lot: “If you could get on a plane with me tomorrow and travel anywhere in the world, where would you want to go?” Out of all the women I asked, only two actually answered the question, and Mercy was one of them.

The Importance of Face-to-Face Interaction

Her answer? “Paris with you, because it’s the city of love.” Talk about a sign! I already had a trip planned to Paris in June and couldn’t help but feel an instant connection with her. "It’s an interesting thing because during the social event you only have 5 minutes to talk to women…they may seem like harmless…insignificant questions but you know one of the questions I asked women was if they could get on a plane with me tomorrow and travel anywhere in the world where would they want to go and out of all the women I asked that only two answered the question and that speaks to how much a woman dreams and for me I need a dreamer…

Mercy said “Paris with you because it’s a city of love” uh interestingly enough I have a trip planned to Paris in June so uh that was a a pretty interesting connection that she would say Paris of all places so uh hopefully she’s joining me in Paris in June." “I talked to women online I thought oh this is a great person I can’t wait to meet him and I met him and there was just no connection no vibe between us I sat down across the table and knew right away.”

Falling in Love and Building a Future

We talked more that night, and I immediately felt a spark. There was a different energy between us, a chemistry that I hadn’t experienced with anyone else. It was like she was the answer to my prayers. The rest, as they say, is history. We continued to connect throughout the tour, and I realized I had found something truly special with Mercy. We’re now engaged and planning our future together, including a trip to Paris!

My advice to anyone considering A Foreign Affair?

Go for it! Come with an open mind and a positive attitude, and you’ll have an amazing experience. Don’t get caught up in messaging women online; the real magic happens when you meet in person. You’ll meet more wonderful women than you can imagine, and who knows, you might just find the love of your life like I did. The value you get from the tour is incredible, especially considering everything that’s included. It’s truly a life-changing experience. Are you ready to start your own love story?
