I wish I could remember his name. Unfortunately it alludes me. I met him on CL as well. We emailed for a while. And then we texted. And even had a few phone calls. He was nice. A little younger than me but seemed like a decent person.
After chatting for a while we decided to meet. We made plans to meet up for my lunch break. This was going to be it, my first post divorce date. I was nervous about what to wear. I picked my outfit and prepared. The night before we were supposed to meet we were chatting on the phone. He told e he had to tell me something that MAY be a deal breaker for me. And then he laid it on me. He is a registered sex offender.
OK, sometimes people have to register for stupid things. Maybe he ran through the street naked on a dare? Maybe he was peeing in public? Maybe.... ??? It turns out he was charged with Statitory Rape. He was 24 and she was 15. Ouch! Not only that, but he did 3 years in prison for this charge. DOUBLE OUCH!
I didn't cancle the date right away. I kept it and thought about it overnight. But I knew almost as soon as he told me this WAS a dealbreaker. The next day I met him for lunch. I told him that unfortunately it wouldnt' work out. I couldn't put myself, and more importantly my kids, in that situation. And that was the end of that.
