I don't know. I guess that I feel that a man of 40 something would have better judgment even if my friend doesn't. And if he cared for her he'd have her and the kid's interest at heart and would recommend they wait and let things progress slowly and judiciously. That nothing would be more important than their building their relationship on a solid and secure foundation rather than something rash and potentially troublesome on down the line.
FWIW, the daughter hates the guy already which I understand would be a normal reaction in her situation.
