I believe it's more about what your own wants are in life, your goals, which no doubt differ depending on what stage of your life you have reached, and it's a lot less about the 'Pro and Cons' of being single, or in a relationship, in my opinion.

Such a tragedy for everyone, especially family and friends of those loosing their lives in this tragic accident. I feel sure we will all be very surprised at the speed in which the waterway is cleared and a new bridge is put in place, taking months and not years before it's operational.

It happens, everything seems good then suddenly it's over. Worth asking her after a few dates if it is a monogamous relationship, at least you will find out if there is a chance it is going to last, and if she says not, well the decision is yours to make. Dating is always a throw of the dice on both sides. Good luck in your search.

Now we find out, and all those wasted times staying true and faithful to girlfriends, makes me wonder what they were up to.

A question I would ask your young friend is, how would he feel, and what would he do now that he discovered that she had cheated on him, maybe seeing the other guy regularly behind his back. My thoughts are, he has been happy with his girlfriend for 2 years, clearly he has feelings for her, but could he forgive her and live with the fact she had been unfaithful, broken his trust. This would be the key question in my opinion. If he felt he would never be able to forgive her, then better to break up with her and move on.

I assume because you are asking the question here, that for whatever the reason she wants to stay with your friend and not the father of the child. I must agree with others regarding a DNA test because he should know with certainty the parentage, even though this may or may not have an influence on any decision he makes. The baby when born is the innocent here, and many men and women marry partners whom have children born out of previous relationships, and they take them as their own. I think it comes down to whether he can forgive her infidelity or not, how much he loves her, and only he knows that.

You are right. Call me old fashioned but I prefer to do the asking, but I am not always actively searching for someone I do take a break. Even so, I am still contacted now and again.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I am not really sure if it was a genuine request for an online date, it could have been if it is a new thing, but it has never happened to me before. Yes, I should have asked a few more questions. I am not looking for a long distance relationship, but if I met the right person that could change. In the real world you usually chat with someone for awhile before asking them out on a date, this request for an online date came first, speed dating on steroids!!
It all was all to quick, and I am no Daniel Craig, more than likely a scam.

I was recently asked by an online not unattractive female stranger if I was interested in an online date because we live so far apart, I declined, not being sure of the implications. I can understand this when already in a long distance relationship with someone, but straight off the bat so to speak, not so much. Was this a scam and would it descend in to sex chat quickly, it all seemed just a little bit 'iffy' to me. What do you think, was I seeing a Red Flag that wasn't really there? Or was it a scam?
