[quote=Anonymous]Okay, so I have been single a L-O-N-G time..10 yrs to be exact.
My children are grown up and I only have one left at home, due to move out this summer however.

I recently met a new guy who seems very nice. He has a great personality. Usually I can spot a phony a mile away, but I get good vibes from this guy. He has integrity, humor and our personalities just mesh and our beliefs and interests are mutual so far.

The problem?
He looks horrible on paper.

Number One:
He is currently homeless. He told me he recently got kicked out of the house by his father so now he sleeps at work when he can.

Number Two:
He had a beat up car, but the engine burned out a few days ago, so he now is car less. (We live in CA where cars are king!)

Number Three:
He works odd jobs and only makes about $30/day right now. He currently sweeps floors and cleans up a strip mall after hours.

Number Four:
He has served time in prison 2x. In other words, he is a convicted felon.

Number Five:
He has a 6 yr. old son who he lost custody of, not sure why. His father is in the process of adopting him.

Number Six:
He smokes pot, but tells me he is against all other drugs, even pharmaceutical drugs and alcohol.
He feels that weed is more medicinal and doesn't do as much harm as other controlled substances, liquor and prescription meds, etc.

In spite of all this, he really comes off to me as a compassionate, open and honest guy.
I mean, to his credit, he didn't lie about all of this like most guys would. He told me straight up from the get go his past and he says he wants to straighten up his life.

He is 31.

My family/friends/co-workers advise me to stay away from him.
They say he has made too many mistakes in the past to be a decent man now.

I disagree.
Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance? [/quote]
