I suggest this strongly. Rushing in to things is very...stupid. The Brain can weigh-up options and consequences and what I all pro-sequences. The heart cannot, until there is proper balance. Evidently, the is not much balance in this world at the moment.
Tbh, main thing that is on my mind is that we are not his parents, so let him be a bit.
He is actually an adult, he is young still but mature enough I to use his brain in my opinion ( I'm not saying he is the most mature but still he can). This all is normal, it's normal life experience and normal situation. He needs to learn and to live his life. I have no intentions to pull everybody aside and to forbid them to live their life and to collect valuable experiences. It's true I care about my family but there is a difference between being caring and being loud and dense to the point of acting like oppressor. Imagine if our parents forbade us to go outside and to do anything, how would be learn a single shit. I'm different a bit when I see someone underage here or super immature with possible some crazy psychological/emotional issues, you need to be more careful then, but what is wrong with this guy? He just saw somebody that might be his mate. Most normal thing ever, literally. He can detach or he can try something, so let him decide. I would say the same for everybody pretty much. Advices are okay but let's not be too dense and gang bang someone who is just having normal life situation and in the end everything will be fine anyways.
Fancy, idk why are you so fired up about this so much, maybe some of yours traumas or idk, but, I really think you are panicking too much about this and you might create him even more issues in the end. In my eyes you are acting weird. This all is really not unusal. Let him learn. Girl will be fine, don't worry about her, I don't see why should she have problems with this if you are worried about her lol
