Would you date a convicted felon?

[Anonymous]

Maybe the first one, if a victim of abject poverty at the time, without proper role models, and since then has turned life around and was doing something noble with his life.

But the second arrest years later? Hell no!!

Someone asked a question like this a few months ago.

OP, was that you? Answer at that time was don't do it, this is a train wreck waiting to happen, you deserve better etc.

Is this is a new poster, same advice aplies. Don't do it. If you have kids definitely don't do it.

+1 - my stepdad was a convicted felon as a 19 year old, he did his years in prison, got out early on good behavior and has been on the straight and narrow ever since. He's almost 50, one of the kindest people ever including raising me as one of his own kids.

Except for the person or persons he hurt at 19 with his behavior I doubt they have forgotten it even 50 years later.

NO.

How did you come into contact with such a person? Come on, OP, this must be a good story. Tell us where you met the loser.

He sounds like my dream man. Let me know if (when) it doesn't work out so I can have a turn.

Go right ahead, what a catch!!

One conviction is enough for me to say no, but TWO?! Why is this a question?!

[Anonymous]

Well, for a violent crime like armed robbery definitely no. For a non-violent offense, say a white collar crime like securities fraud, insider trading or the like, I might say yes.
