writes:I would like an opinion on a new relationship a friend has gotten intoShe is starting to date this guy from work since the beginning of August, however, she doesnt know that he is a lying cheating type. He has had at least 5 other women in the last 9 months and he is going into med school while she is leaving for another province for school again (meaning, he could easily have other women while she's away im thinking). They always text, hang out, touch, give gifts etc, but i have a feeling its not going to last and i dont want to see her hurtWhat are your opinions on this new hookup? Am i right to see this only as a summer fling?

 How do you know he is a 'lying cheating' type? Have you got evidence? The amount of girlfriends he has had isn't really an indication - perhaps he just had a string of bad luck in his love life?
What makes you so sure he'll get with other women while your friend is away? If he has a history of it then I suppose your concerns are justified. But otherwise, isn't that what trust is for?
Even so. If your friend is smitten then there's probably not a lot you can do, because she likely won't hear a word against her new beau - you know how it is. Drop her a word of warning if you like, but don't be surprised if she brushes it off. The best thing you can do is leave them to it and wish them all the best. And if it does all go pear-shaped, provide a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to cry on.
