Listen up, single men and women. Cai Cortez has a tip for you: “Go! Mag-date ka, mag-Tinder ka, wag kang matatakot na ma-judge ka kasi you are beautiful.”

After almost three years of marriage and one child, GMANetwork.com asked Cai what tips she can give to people who are into online dating.

She initially said, “Wala e. Hindi mo talaga siya mapa-plano. Hindi mo rin siya puwedeng hanapin.”

She added that we should not permanently close the door on other people, be it on social media or not.

“Mayroong meant to be para sa'yo, kahit anong paraan pa 'yan. Whether by online, whether makatabi mo sa bus, whether makatabi mo sa jeep, kung para sa 'yo siya, para sa 'yo talaga siya.”

Later on, Cai gave a life-changing tip. “Wag kang mai-intimidate,” she said. “Mayroon isang tao diyan na para sa 'yo at mahahanap mo rin siya.”

She added, “Go! Mag-date ka, mag-Tinder ka, wag kang matatakot na ma-judge ka kasi you are beautiful.”

When asked how she prepared on their first date, Cai answered quickly, “Wala. Nagising lang ako. Woke up like this.”

She later explained that she did not expect that it would turn into something serious.

“Hindi ko naman inexpect din kasi na magiging seryoso 'yun. Parang sa akin, date lang, makipag-friends. May mamemeet kang bago tapos bahala na,” she said.

“Ayoko rin mag-expect e.”

Cai tied the know with Wiseem in a civil wedding ceremony at the Manila City Hall in June 2016. Their love produced one son, Hbib Rkhami.
