I know a guy who is a total player. He hits on, flirts with, and tries to seduce any woman he encounters. It's slightly disturbing.

There's a new, very sweet, and possibly gullible girl that he has latched on to. She seems to be the only one in a long line of ladies that has taken his bait.

Now, I know his past and his behaviors. He is not a friend, but someone I have known as a social acquaintance for quite a while.

Should I warn this girl of him? My warning would probably be something along the lines of "he's like this with all the girls, don't invest too much."

I hate to see her hurt, but at the same time I don't know if I should tell her what the rest of us already know.

Would you want to know?

If she's not a real girlfriend of yours, no. Stay out of it. You don't know her, you know only "of" him and, with all due respect, it's really none of your business. Cheers!

This is what I've been going on, but I know that if I were in her place I would feel like a complete idiot for falling for a guy like that when everyone else knew he was just a schmoozer.

Maybe it bothers me more because everyone knows. It's like being the last to know that your boyfriend is cheating when all your friends already know...ouch.

She's has no connection to you (girlfriend, family, etc.) so stay out of it... That would be almost an outright sign to her that you like her... Even though you're looking out for the best of her, let her try to figure that out. Most women should be able to pick out the PLAYAS! You could be casual about it down the road and approach in a jokingly manner saying "Ya know he's just trying to get in your pants..." or something along the lines of that... But as of now, nothing... You're a true gentleman for looking out for a girl like her.

EDIT: Well, seeing as you're a gal ... I'd say go ahead and take the same approach as I stated but with different choice of words. More along the line of "Girl, you know he's just trying to get in your pants..." Yeah you get the point LOL

I would want to know he was a player if I were that poor, sweet innocent girl.

Tell her...if you told me it...I then would watch him like a hawk or question any motives he did..or just up and say"I'm looking for a real relationship not some fun and run business"

It would fall on deaf ears anyway and my dad would never have been able to get away with marrying three times. If my statement is not true that a good chunck of divorced people would never be married again even after many of their newbies are warned of their personalities and traits. People see what they want to see anyway or think 'they' will be the one that makes the difference and 'changes' them.
