That guy J-e-f-f-e-r-s said earlier that there are too many 'if's and 'why's to conclude anything about the girl. I'm going to have to disagree with him. There is plenty of information to judge the girl. But your judgement went completely in the wrong direction if you ask me.
True, I did say that. My reasoning, I should hasten to add however, is that it's pointless to go
"Oh no Son, stay away from her, she's obviously a crazy slut crackwhore who wants to infect you with the STDs!!1!" when all we really know is that he likes her, she likes him, and she at some point in her life did
something to get a criminal record. The girl
could be a crazy psycho *****, or she could be the hottest, nicest, friendliest girl in the whole county. We know fuck all about her, so passing
moral judgements about her, as many are doing on this thread, seems ludicrous.
That said, the fact that she was honest and upfront with the OP about her criminal record and foster family situation suggest to me that she's alright. She obviously wanted to lay all the awkward stuff out on the table and get it out the way (which must have taken some guts, as not all guys are mature or responsible enough to handle girls with criminal records or foster families), rather than trying to hide it from the OP and springing it on him at a later date. She seems to be acting open and honest about herself with him, which is the most important thing.
Slightly off-topic, but I can't help but notice that the product of abstinence only sex-education seems to be manifesting itself in some of the thread replies. A lot of people going "Oh noes, sex is a beautiful, lovely thing that should be kept for someone you care about. People who do the naughty with someone they don't know are baaaaad people." To them I say, grow the fuck up. We're living in the 21st Century, not the Middle Ages.
