    The guy has guts and a strong will to stay young in mind and body. plus he is probably tired of cooking for himself and hates doing his laundry.

    My wife and I went through much the same process, although with us it was mutual and lasted a bit longer.

    He sounds like one of those guys who just has to be involved. Some folks just can't make it alone.

    I think he doesn't want to waste time. Life expectancy for males in the US is 77 and for males world wide is 62.
    And even if you live longer quality of life steadily declines at a quicker rate ever year. So do what you can while you can.

    It can happen. Especially when you are older, there are not as many games being played, you know what you want, and make your decision accordingly

    if that's how he turly feels, then i have no problem with that, it's none of my business.
    i was sure that i had found my life partner within three days of dating my now-husband. that was about 7 years ago.

    If he is of sound mind, why not! I met my bride online and after we had chatted several times online and over the phone, she gambled and flew out to meet me. She and I spent a week together and a few months after her return across this grand and glorious nation of ours, I took a 3-day bus ride from California to South Carolina, to marry her. We have been married for three 3 years.

    normally I would think that was very strange for a person to do...but he is 60...how big of a commitment is "for life" at his age?

    I know something similar to that. One is considered divorced they met a year ago on line by accident. Believe they love each other. And are about to meet for the first time! Talking night and day and learning so much about each other. Is that more of a possible lasting relationship then dating someone a few months in person?

    He could get burned sure, but he's got the rest of his life ahead of him. And he doesn't want to spend two decades alone.

    I suppose it's possible, but he is probably just lonely and desperate for real love.

    I'd say he is desperate. I could care less if they had a 10 year online relationship. It is impossible to know within 2 weeks of meeting someone in person that this is the person you want to comitt your life to unless you are lonely and desperate for companionship.

    TAPriceCTR s son is wearing his COAT

    hmm. fast mover.... that is risky. where there is no risk of failure there is no risk of success. there are people who are fully westernized except that they believe in aranged marriage. they have a higher success rate than we daters. so why do people think long term face to face dating is so immencely vital? I would seriously like to see a stat on how long relationships last comparing those who marry quickly versus those who intend long courtships. if you break up after 5 years of dating and cohabitating, it counts the same as 1 year dating and 4 years married.

    I think he's in for a rude shock if they ever get together. People online are only going to tell you the best side of them, or you're going to imagine that they're better than they are. Wait until reality sets in and he's going to realize his mistake. I have a relative like that. He hates to be alone and is constantly falling in love but it never lasts long.

    Maybe he thinks he doesn't have much time left to waste. It's really hard to answer this without knowing his history - if he's been divorced several times and has a reputation for being impulsive, the red flags should go up for the lady involved. My feeling is someone just divorced needs to chill awhile, but that's JMO!

    I'd say he is acting on the rebound and probably trying to avoid loneliness. Two weeks is nowhere near long enough to know a person well enough to make a permanent commitment. If I were his woman, he would frighten me to death.

    I'd say he's suffering from a midlife crisis. Confronted with his own mortality, he feels the need to quickly find somebody new. If I were you, I'd back off and be friends for a while. Since he's newly divorced, he may not be over his ex-wife yet.

    He may just be an exceptional guy, but I would be very, very cautious. I think all this happened way too soon, and this in itself could be a warning sign. Afterall, why is this man divorced? I can't help but think of something Shakespeare said, "Violent delights have violent ends..." Good luck though.
