Hi One2n....I definitely agree with you that love is blind.....somebody blinded by it will never listen to anybody else's advice.....I met a fella from Northern Irl a few year's after my husband had died from MS when he was only 36.... children very young at the time etc...etc...long story short this fella crashed two brand new Passats belonging to me.....the first one was only about 5 months old....insurance paid up for that one so I went ahead and got another one.....unbelievable as it may seem....three months later he wrote off that one as well....due to some technality the Insurance Company would not pay up!....even with tbe stress of this happening my only thoughts were that he had not been injured.....long story short about a week later I came home from work to find that he had disappeared off the face of the earth.....to this day I never saw or heard from him again.....he left me with a bill for €30,000 and, not to mention, a very broken heart.....

Aragorn11: I'd tell him what I think, if I had that type of relationship with him.

The things we regret in life tend not to be the things we do, but the things we don't do.


I would defo tell him.
Thats what mates are for thumbs up

I doubt anyone can top that.scold comfort
It's amazing how some men, even women , can be that cruel..., the problem nowadays is that these incidences are becoming more frequent & spoil it for the few genuine men Left on this planet.
I hope this hasn't left you too scarred & don't let this man dictate any future relationships that may come your way.sad flower hug

One said he's not best friends with the guy. It seems it's something he's observing probably cause the guy talks about this woman all the time.

If the guy is happy in his senior years then I wouldn't get involved in his business.

He might tell One to mind his own business. Then a work relationship might suffer.

She's a scammer. If One really wants to help this guy it would be better to show him stories where men have been taken financially by women like this. The guy will never believe what someone says. He needs to read it and even then he might think that she would never do that to him.

If I were in One's shoes I would suggest to the guy to stop sending her stuff, stop calling and see how long it goes before she contacts him again.

I'm not into relationship games but in this case I think it is warranted.

If One wants to avoid having the regret that he didn't tell the guy what's going on he could tell him once. When the ball drops he won't have any regrets.

He ain't a mate, but if he was, depending on his character , I'd probably do the same..

Explain to him,that, this the internet,and he might be scammed.
One2note: Yes, let's hope the trolls stay clear.. I've never resorted to banned anyone from my threads but I may change my policy , depending on the the posters .

Getting back to the topic..
Yeh, I'm sure your experience is not an isolated one but I've never been in a situation such a as yourself, but I have a customer at work, a mature man in his sixties, who is smitten with a young oriental lady, 28, if my memory serves me right.. The thing is, all his money goes on phone calls, presents & hard cash to aid her , allegedly poor family in china .. He still has this idea that she will one day come to England & all will be rosy..
My question is , do I tell him he is being taken for a ride, or let him find out for himself.

Often, the signs are there but we choose to ignore them.. I'm sure thinking back, there may have been some clues you ignored or didn't want to believe.. confused professor

Oh yes, definitely...looking back in hindsight, there were red flags everywhere, lol! But, as so often happens when you're "in love", you are wearing shades and cannot see them cool Anywho...older, wiser, and not so naive now dancing

You've hit the nail in the head .. It really is none of my business & he has closer friends & family member who could advise him..
I've made my own observations but I may be completely wrong.dunno laugh
