Hi, so recently, my friend started dating someone that she just met. I'm very suspicious towards this person, because of the things she said and did so quickly. They hadn't known each other for more than two days, and this person had already told my friend their tragic life story, and some very unbelievable things along with it. After a few more days, the other person said the think my friend is perfect, and that they are perfect for each other. I'm aware that sometimes situations like this don't turn out badly, but I just wanted to know if my suspicions were valid. Thank you.

it's not for you to find this out, it's for your friend, and I'd avoid trying to warn your friend, because it will only drive you apart, let him discover this himself if there is anything to worry about.

Some people fall for each other straight away, and when that happens, you feel comfortable around them and opening up to them. Sounds like they are going to fall in love, and he's probably not going to believe other people's suspicions about his new girlfriend, he has to find that out himself. If two people want to be together, they will be regardless of friends and family members.

Yes, sounds bad. Unless your friend is a teenager, this pops red flags. But she won't listen to you until she has her own suspicions... You'll have to wait for her to ask you for an insight first. Don't take the risk to lose her trust.
It might not turn out BADLY, but it surely isn't very healthy to me. Maybe this person is confusing their own feelings with their need to be heard.

I just wrote something about this on another thread here. Sharing delicate subjects to bond is something to be suspicious about. When you fall in love you won't be thinking of tragic stuff you might have in your head, you want to walk under the sun forever during the time you're together.

Some very valid points the two posters above have pointed out.

I am guessing this person makes her feel safe. It is therapeutic to relate one's story to an accepting ear. But recognising when it's appropriate to do so comes with both age and experience. I'm making an assumption the friend involved is younger in age. Is this the case.

It is one thing to express, "I'm a little concerned" and another to say "I don't think you should."

But I actually have another notion come to mind. Why is it that you know so much about this relationship? I would distance myself from being involved.
Thanks for this!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
