I think it's fine to say something. I wouldn't give her any advise because you don't know her that well. Maybe she is a very sweet player, herself? I think I'd drop her a hint such as:
(Name) is a friendly guy, he really gets around - seems to try to seduce any woman he sees. He's a player.
A warning based on what you know if fine.

I would want to know and then use that information however I wished.

Cut all ties and forget the person. Remember people will judge you by the company you keep, weather you like it or not. The last thing I want is some new girl I meet thinking I'm easy.

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?

I doubt warning will do any good. It won't matter what you say about him. If she's interested, she'll think she's the one that will change him. I know this first hand from a long time friend of mine who just couldn't settle down. I would have loved to have been more to him, but saw him for what he was. Yes, your friend will probably get hurt, but she will learn from it and be stronger next time.

If you're a girl, then yes, you should definitely tell her! The world would be a much better place if women watched out for each other, so I doubt that anyone would ever hold it against you. Just choose your words carefully, or she may just wonder if you're after him!

Of course not! We all think we're "special" and everything will be "different" with us! If anything, the warning might even up the challenge and desire to prove how this "misunderstood" by others person can be our treasure!

I think the answer would have to depend on a lot of things. Some couples do the mutual coffee or lunch thing with others and dont worry about anything, where some go further than that. Ive done lunch with someone a couple of times about 6 years ago but my b/f back then knew I was going and didnt make a fuss over it, sheesh it was only an hour lunch, and he knew I wasnt going to let anything happen.

Best advice ever.

I will be seeing her soon and I'll casually mention what a man-ho he is then.
