Advice for a friend.

My friend has had some bad luck when it comes to dating, and she feels she is ready to just meet her person and settle down. However, she also still has a lot of stuff she wants to explore in herself and about relationships. She went out on a great first date with a real gentleman — lots of chemistry, he treated her just right, etc. — but she already knows he’ll be leaving for a job abroad (army-related) in September.

Should I advise her to go for it, and see it as an opportunity to learn more about herself in a sort of risk free environment (because she already knows the limitations), not to mention enjoy a lovely summer of dating, or should I say she should cut out now, knowing how easily she gets attached and how sad she will be when he leaves?

She’d regret it if she didn’t follow through on this opportunity.
