Friend told us recently that she'd met someone. He is working overseas but UK citizen and the plan was to meet when he's home on leave. It's all very whirlwind-y full on with gifts being sent and proclamations of love and it's only been 2 months.
They met on social media. She has a public account and he started liking her posts and then contacted her and they got chatting. She said they video chat for hours each day. She has a young DC and the DC sometimes features on the social media. I've felt a bit funny about this too, as predators can lurk on these sites. Her DC has also spoken to this man when they've done video chats. I feel it's a bit much "introducing" them when they've not even met in real life yet. He is divorced and has DC of his own.
He is home now and going to be meeting my friend at her house... Her DC is in school. I'm a bit nervous. Surely a coffee shop or other public place would have been safer to scope him out first but she's jumping in with both feet. She's basically acting like they're a proper couple but I know that things aren't real until you actually meet. Am quite nervous about this guy's intentions, lots of red flags. He also doesn't appear to have a proper home to go to having split with his wife, so I'm having visions of him turning up with all his belongings! He's already told her he'd be happy to move to her area... Maybe it'll be fine and a "you just know" situation and they'll be together properly as a couple but it just feels a bit weird and quick and dodgy. Other friend thinks so too.
