I would like to get your guys/gals opinion on a situation that a female friend of mine is in and to see if you think this is in any way weird or odd. Everything I tell you is what she herself told me and not from a 3rd party person or anything. Hope i added the poll correctly. First time doing that.

She met this guy on an online dating site and exchanged IM screen names so they could talk. So that night they talk via IM for awhile and hit it off. The next night they spent hours on the phone talking. The night after she meets this guy at a local bar and grill and ends up going to his house (which is not close. Like 35mins away) and spending the night there. She says no sex was involved. They see each other the next night, this time with sex involved. The next day at work her and I talk on the phone and she is all freaking out because she doesn?t want to lose this guy and is asking me what she can do to keep him. I kind of laugh because I'm thinking he's already got what he wanted.

A little back story as well on the guy. Ex military, ex bouncer, nurse who admits to being a player, has 4 children with 3 different women, two of whom he was married to, the oldest of the children he has custody of, but the other 3 he hasn't been asked to pay child support for or stay in contact with or anything. Within the first weeks of knowing each other they already talked about moving in with each other.

Well its been about 2 months now and he is living with her at her moms house along with her younger sister and niece. She has gotten ulcers since meeting this guy because she is so freaked out she is going to lose him somehow or he will find someone else. (She's kind wound tight anyway)

They have already talked about marriage. Plus, she has been married before to a man for 8 years and that didn?t work out, so I assumed she would be a little wiser/cautious with this kind of thing.

Anyways, She thinks nothing at all is weird about the above situation even though I tell her to take it slower and actually get to know this guy before doing anything that may lead to another divorce. She says I'm being non-romantic. I say she is not being realistic and moving too fast.

Just a simple poll to see if I am over reacting to this situation I find odd.

Major flags should have been raised considering his prior dating, but she is blinded by love. Wait until they marry and he cheats on her, or runs out after knocking her up. She will see the error of her ways then, but probably not until that happens.

Yes, it's an odd situation and will likely end badly for her.

However, you should not be worried about it so much. He's been truthful with her, so she's going into this with both eyes open. There's absolutely nothing you can do. If you try to break them apart, you'll only get cut off yourself. Also, even though the situation is "odd", that doesn't mean they aren't happy for now. And stranger couples have found long term happiness than them.

Just be there for her, give her advice when she asks for it, and don't try to fix her life.

Why even suggest she get to know him better? I've read enough here to know she already knows enough about him to never talk to him again.

"Kind of" because this kind of pathetic situation happens all the damn time in real life.

Why is your friend so convinced she needs this man so badly? That's the scary part to me.

Umm...OP? Who's living at the house?

1. Player
2. Your friend.
3. Friend's younger sister
4. Friend's niece

A player and three women living together. This has disaster written all over.

Very odd. But she'll never listen to you. She thinks she's not good enough for him, so she'll put up with whatever nuttiness he's dishing up. Nothing you can do, but support her when it happens.

dude, hold on, the guy... he's freakin' living with a girl friend, and the house isn't even hers, is it?

first off, I don't support online dating 'cuz it's an excuse for going outside and proving that your social communication skills don't suck, which I know a lot of people who thinks they can't talk jack, which I know they can.

that situation is very odd, but it's normal as it is, regarding society and the way people do things around the world. you can't always assume it's going to be the nice Cheaper By The Dozen family who have a few problems here and there and in the end, the family makes up for it. Um, this might sound stupid, but the story you're tellin' could pass for a good novel if it's written cleverly enough. Anyway, man, you can't really change her, but you can teach her and just be there for her if anything funky happens.

she's takin' it waay tooo fast. the ulcers, um, that's not anything related to STD's is it? well good luck man. are, you, sure, you don't have a crush on her?
