Uh Oh, 15 gfs... That might be any boy's dream. But really, according to me, this is very unusual. A man cannot be dumped by 15 girls for no particular reason. I ain't telling you that you should break all contacts with him or anything cause I know what you might be feeling. Love is really blind. All of this may sound really alien to you and most probably you'll dismiss everything any of us say as crap. But as you asked, let me tell you, before committing to this or any other guy for that matter, you should really find out EVERYTHING about them. I believe, a commitment is not just telling someone that you love him/her. I feel it is really something big and one should not take a risk, cause a broken heart is not what anyone is looking forward for in a commitment. Wish you all the best, act like a wise woman...

I guess there is nothing wrong with meeting him for as long as you know you will be safe. I suggest if your going to meet him you should also bring a friend with you. Probably you dont have to show if you like him.. well in another way i mean. Your meeting him because you think that you can be good friends and eventually turn to another level. I can say regardless of how many GF's he has it doesn't matter because it might happen that among those 15 or 20 girls, only one maybe serious. You will never know unless you meet him personally by knowing him.
Just be careful and be smart enough. Dont be fooled also with the flowery words. Good luck!

Hello, cindyhxf.
Usually, having a girlfriend requires attention, patience and many other things, like respect, love, partnership... Perhaps your virtual friend just lacks one of them, and the girlfriends he had couldn't cope with it. Perhaps he is just so good that many girls wanted to be with him, and he just got confused and started going from one to another.
I believe that you should not take those numbers in consideration. Every start is a new one. You said you are his friend, but you clearly show that you want something more. Well then, go ahead, don't worry. But don't give yourself too much. Don't make yourself need him to live.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

hi, cindy
i also looking for mr right for myself,in my opinion,if this man on lines has those more girlfriend, i don't think he can give you lover for ever.pls don't decided immediately before you know that he will give your enough security,a best hubby will be give you comfortable,happiness and blessedness.this is very important thing for us(girls).good luck!

currently,most of young person all work full time, we haven't got no enough time for making a suitable friend,on the other hand,we lived in our own circle,and the circle is so small,herpaps most boys were married and has their girlfriend.so making friends were appear on lines,on TV or other fun progrem,this is become more popular.

First, i don t believe that he had so many girlfriends before. Who had so many girlfriends before, don t want to find a girlfriend online, if he can to find in real so many girls.
SECOND, I AM NOT SURE THAT HE MUST TELL YOU HOW MANY GIRLFRIENDS HAD BEFORE. IS NOT A SIGN OF HONESTITY. Do you think that 15 girls can be mad and just one man can be good? Something is not real in what he tell you. Is just my opinion.
I like to give you an advice but, now, i don t believe to much in online relations.
I think that is just a joke, and man who want to play with girls mind come to net and do this.
Maybe i am wrong,but from my experience, i can say, that man to net are not serious. i want to be wrong in my oipnion

hi icesmile,i know your feeling.why i asked him how many partners before cause i felt he didn't trust a woman much.he said some women cheated on him before and i felt he had some before.yes,we knew each other from Friend website.what i really want to find is serious ralathionship and he knew much.he said he is honest man and no reason to lie to me he really had 15 gf before(maybe more i guess).he said just had 4 woman for serious relationship at the past ten years.but he felt alone when broke up with them and just date with some girls.i said i understand his lonely feeling but i couldn't understand why he loved a girl so easy in his life.just for Se.x? if so i think i am not a good person for his choice.anyway,thanks for your opinion ,icesmile.have a nice day!

I dont think these 15 girls were actually he's girlfriends. I think its just the number of people he has slept with. Obviously he sounds like somebody who cant hold on to a woman. And the fact that you havent met him before and he's already showing signs of being a time waster and not so much of a man. If I was you, I really wouldnt bother with him as I think you'll just add up to his tally number. I find it quiet odd that you have feelings for a man you've never met.. That's not normal to me..
Seriously honey, ditch the dude.. you can do much better than settling for someone who clearly doesnt sound right from the word go..

If I were you,I think I will not go to meet him.I donnot know the reason.I always think that I can make a good friend on the line.But Falling in love with a person who i know on line is unbelieveble.Do you believe fall love in first sight.If you believe ,I think you can go to meet him.

Hello cindy. I think that it is better for you to be more careful about it. Because from what you have described, I don't think that he is someone that is reliable since he has already had so many girlfriends. Love is something that we need to take serious consideration. Anyway, I wish you good luck finding the right one--Mr.Right. All the best to you, friend.

Hi william,i think i am not so lucky to meet such person as i said.i didn't ask too much before cause i didn't think it happened to him.anyways,he told me the truth as he said didn't lie to me anything.on the other hand,he didn't have to tell me the truth if he wanted to hide.the rest thing is i choose accept this truth or not.i am still puzzle now.anyway,there will be good way to solve i am sure,take care,my friend.

i think that you are getting to know someone online that is questionable. It is impossible to tell you if he is sincere or not. You may have known him on-line for 9 months but to be honest...you don't know him at all. I think if you meet him that you should meet him in a public place and maybe with a friend. 15 girlfriends is a lot but they could be just dates and not really an intimate relationship. move slow.

It is as simple as this if you wish to meet him just do it once, and in our country there is saying that " The girl can see in man's eyes what is running through his mind". You should be up to it. On internet relationships 90% lies are involved.
Meet him in real and see.

you need to wait more time to observe him,i mean,you still don`t know much about him,so think about your security,you should not have date with the guy arbitary.
according to your words,i don`t the guy is a honest man,though he has 15 girlfriends before-i would accept this number,this is not the point.
the point is he did not tell you thr truth first,i`m afraid that he probably is a lier.

Divorced twice andhave more than 15 gilrfriend?My god, The guy is really a playboy.I don't think he is a trustworthy guy. he does not treat people or relationship seriouly. Do you want to be hurt? Do you want to develop a stable and long relationship with him?

You have good feeling to him,so first you should meet him face to face.If you still have good feeling to him after you meet,you can get along with him to know each other.It is too important to found emotional foundation.

15 past girlfriends can reasoned out by a guy, that he's too young to get into a serious realtionship. but since he already came from 2 marriages that didn't work. (and isnt a valid reason that he's still playing around right?) then I think, on that on that 17 girls, atleast there is a 1 girl there (or maybe all of them) that is know how to handle well a realtionship. well the question is, Have you asked him what are the reasons of the separations of his previous gfs/wives? (on that case you can know his imperfections and its up to you to decide whether you still continue your good feelings or have a change of heart.

Hi! Cindyhxf!
If he is telling you the truth that he has so many girl friends, earlier than you, then you need to seriously think about your relationship with him. You will have to convince yourself and you will have to make an effort to see, if he has some real feelings for you and he is 'honest' towards you in his dealings. Sometimes, it becomes difficult to assess the other fellow in virtual world, therefore you should cautiously go ahead in your relationship. Best of Luck!

you must have developed feelings for this person. it would be very difficult for you to stay away from this person but i think if this person is not kidding then having 15 girl friends is too much. i think this person just uses girls for his pleasure and then looks for another. you are not to be anyone's pleasure commodity. you deserve someone who loves you and who cares for you and who will be yours. start interacting with others and get involved in other things but try to control your desire to interact this person and slowly stop interacting with him.

actually i talk with my friend online queit a lot ,and i strongly feeling that the relationship or the feelings generated online is not so relieble or stable ,since he said that he had 15 girlfriend berore ,and do you really want to be the 16th ?in this point i think he is not relieble for you to trust ,so you'd better confirm that you have already understanded him very well before your trusting him

If you have such a "good feeling" about him you woulnd't be askiong strangers for advice. I see red flags all over the place. It's good that are thinking about it, now tell him bye bye and move on. If it's true he's been married twice and 15 g/f's, he has problems you don't need.

Aww, I feel sorry for you being in such a dilemma. Well, if I were you i'd meet him and subtly hear him out on the matter but not at the beginning of the conversation do it further down the meeting. 15 girlfriends is indeed very much that's why you should hear him out in real life... in chat he can lie as much as he want to you. In real life he needs to have a lot of courage if he wants to lie to you... check his body language to see whether he lies or not.
I hope this helps.

i think the problem isn't to lie or not to lie.i care about what his attitude about parter and if he gave up ralationship so easy.if so ,it is not safe feeling to stay with him for long time.yes,you are right,i should consider knowing him in person for some time.thanks for your advice,my friend
