I found out a friend is dating a well known writer (I won't get more specific since his writing is a particular niche and would probably out who he is). I'm happy for her because she has struggled with dating and it's about time she finds one. The problem is I'm not sure he's the one for her. Both are never married, childless and Catholic but the similarities end there. She's very conservative, and he's not. She wants a baby and is desperate to get married but I'm not so sure he is since he has dated quite a bit and probably in his 50's or so. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled for her because if it lasts she hit the jackpot. However if it doesn't she will be devastated. I've known a few of his other girlfriends and most ended because at the time he wasn't ready to settle (or at least for them)but she is a different breed (she's a teacher, most of them worked in entertainment). Ever have an issue like this? Obviously the celebrity dating isn't common but the dealing with men like this might be.
If they don't have a whole lot in common, how is he the jackpot? What about his personality and manner that makes him the "jackpot"? Just because he's a successful man doesn't mean he's a good man.
If I was a man and I found a woman "desperate to get married"...I'd run the other way. I don't think the issue will end up being him.

Because he really does have everything, he has money, he's not bad looking and he has some sort of power. I do wonder what he sees in her. She's pretty and all but she is desperate and obviously he isn't otherwise he would have married one of his other girlfriends. I don't think he's a bad guy just question a lot of his lifestyle.
What does "men like this" mean? Maybe he wasn't dating seriously before, but he's decided to settle down. Maybe they do mesh fairly well personality-wise, values-wise, etc. Who knows, maybe she's the right woman for him at this time in his life. Are you afraid he might just be using her for a temporary fix?

I'm probably the wrong person to answer as I don't think "everything" constitutes money, looks and power...however, you're her friend. You really can't see, as her friend, the qualities that she can bring to a man?

Maybe I just hope it's the right time. She's been stung before and hate to see it done to her by a well known celebrity. I know he does like her down to earth quality.

I say, for now just sit back and relax, don't worry it. Let things evolve, and see how it goes.

I think she brings a lot of qualities. She's educated and financially smart and has a good job. She's attractive too in a more wholesome way.
She sounds like a catch, herself. Maybe he's decided to settle down.
Yeah, if he breaks up with her, I know lots of available guys that would love to meet a girl like her.
