    No, Asehpe, that's not it.

    I suppose you're afraid he is just 'a player' trying to get something and who will disappear afterwards? But, after all, saying nice things to someone you (presumably) like is not necessarily The Game, is it? Or are there other signs that this guy might not be good?

    Actually, I am afraid he wants to marry her and he is a bit ahead of her there. She likes him ... she thinks he's nice ...

    I went to the Tarot reader. There was the Hierophant, the three of cups, the Lovers, the two of cups ... and so on.

    Call me crazy, but dating and having a good time is one thing. I am just one of those people who when the word marriage is mentioned gets the shivers.

    I am not ready to lose my little girl. :( I am afraid she could be talked into something serious that she is not old enough for. This guy is fifteen years her senior.

    Maybe I am just worrying too much. I am a worrier. I have lots of little fine lines in the palm of my hand. Maybe he's really gay. Maybe he's impotent. Maybe insanity runs in his family ... which wouldn't be good, considering my family.
