Hello Everyone,

What do you think?....my friend came over today to tell me she is engaged after meeting a guy in Feb and has been engaged for 2 weeks now. She is 30 and he is 32.They have never lived together and still don't , they are dating and he is in another country working coming back soon, although he does live here where we live. I'm just a bit worried as she's a girl who rushes things with guys as shes told me,so its a bit worrying.She lost her partner 4.5 years ago in a accident and she wasn't completely happy with him.It was very traumatic when he died as he was a family friend of ours too. She then went through a few guys and none of them turned out well with messy breakups,and they only lasted a couple of months each time.She said she's really happy,and I'm happy for her,I just hope it works out for her. What do you think about it...interesting huh???

Any Idea , Suggestions would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Hello William,

if I understood you correctly, she has been knowing/dating this other man for almost a year by now,
which I would not really call untypical or alarming per se.
So, could you be a little bit more specific about your concerns?
Did you talk to her and did she give you an impression of not having thought things through sufficiently?

regards,
