How to react to Van't Kruij's opening?

I've played with someone using 1.e3 2.Qf3. as a common opening. I've researched about it, but couldn't find anything about this specific Van't Kruij's use. What moves do you suggest for Black, assuming I'm a beginner?

It really is not good to bring out your queen early. Play d5 on move one and then Nf6 and you will be in great shape. If your opponent goes b3 on move two, go e5 and play Nc6 to defend the pawn. If 2. Nf3, then Nf6 still leaves you in good shape.

There is very little theory regarding 1. e3 or 1. d3, the ideas are usually taken from the French and the Pirc reversed, but with some modifications due to the extra tempo for White. I would just simply play 1. e3 e5 2. Qf3 Nf6 and I don't see any immediate threats arising. Thereafter play d5 if it is possible, develop other pieces, castle and you will be OK.

1 e3 is fine, but 2 Qf3 is premature

Van't Kruijs  opening 1. e3 followed by 2. d3 3. Nd2 and 4 Ne2 is playable against any defense by Black. I played and won many games with it in 10 min blitz against average (up to 1800 rated) players.  If the opening(s) is really that bad then what am I (or my opponents) are missing? The opening is fun to play and can really confuse unprepared opponents. Go give it a try .
