How true is too good?

"He's too good to be true!"

I've heard that a few times; once I even felt that — until I realized he really wasn't. So I'm wondering if "too good to be true" is true, can it really be good?

I was listening to my girlfriend gush over her new lover, a early-50ish divorced dad (from a 20-plus-year marriage — longevity!), with a laundry list of all his finer points. Handsome, sexy, tall, filthy rich (oh be quiet: for some that's important, and who are we to judge?), kind, erudite, nature-lover, foodie, great lover ... shoot, even I was beginning to get gushy.

"And, he's taken his profile off, and I took mine off, and he's asked me what I want my future to look like ..."

My first thought was, hey, does he have a brother?

"... he even offered to support me so I don't have to work full time!"

Whoa, Nelly! Red flag radar rising!

"So, how long have you known him?"

"We've gone on our fifth date. About two weeks."

Fifth date????
Two weeks???

I told her how happy I am for her, and that is very genuine: I am, because I think she deserves a man who will love, treasure and respect her.

Yet — and maybe I'm a cynical and suspicious broad — I have hard time hearing — and believing — that a guy could get a sense of a woman so quickly that he'd offer all that, especially the supporting her part.

Now, switch the genders, and have a woman talk like that and ... that guy is outta there. Just watch him run!

And, really — how much can you know about a person in five dates and numerous phone calls? Yes, you can get a sorta good sense of a person, but ...

I think it's cool that they agreed to take their profiles off (actually, it's too soon, but perhaps that's just me). I think it's fantastic that they talked about the realities of what they want in the future —who doesn't want a partner who shares a similar vision? — and since both still have teens at home and live 45 minutes apart, no one's going to be moving closer or in together anytime soon. But I have a real problem with the offer of supporting her, not that there's anything wrong with it if that's truly how it plays out but ... a wealthy man should be careful about throwing that kind of offer around, don't you think?

So, are we women gullible? Could a man really fall in love at first sight and decide she's The One in two weeks? If a man can do it, can a woman do it, too, and have the man feel the same way? Is it a good thing if someone is "too good to be true"?
