a guy i like asked me to go to the movies with him and always picks me up and is so sweet, i do really like him hes perfect, but hes ben a druggie for a few years and finally sobering up. my friends dont like him around, my best friend gravely hates him, and we dodge my mom because hes always smelt of smoke. yet two of my girls who see me with him like him cuz theyv seen his sweet side.
that sounds very harsh but hes sobering up for me, and hes so protective of me so i dont get into drugs and from other guys. he is a pure gentleman, picks me up, tries to pay, holds me like im his world. i always told him i wont kiss a smoker when hed ask tho, iv never kissed him.
yet he picked me up n we went with his friends out to eat one day a while back, he got high and wouldnt drive me home he left to party, i had one of his friends drive me home and we got lost. il never forget that. hes the sweetest guy in the world now though, idc that he was a druggie, but then i look back at it.. i do really like him but should i try and move on? does the good outweigh the bad? does the past matter? am i over reacting? any advice on this topic. 16/f (link)
This gentleman certainly does have a colorful past. And ANY addiction, not just a drug addiction, is very difficult to overcome. Many relapses happen, and often these people (even if everything else about them is "good") are completely unstable individuals, which is why they develop addictions so easily. I'm glad he treats you with the utmost respect, I really am, but my advice to you is to move on and spare yourself anymore emotional damage.

If you'd like to be his friend and offer support, do so by all means. But do NOT let him weasel his way back into your heart. Keep your distance. I'm not saying cut ties with him and that he'll never change, but if you ever want something long-term with him, you need to wait until he's sober for quite some time. This is only a trial period in his life right now, and you don't need this turmoil in yours when there are plenty more fish in the sea, with less complications attached.

but hes not the unstable type, hes too strong minded if anything. hes one of my best guy friends. he doesnt even hangout with his friends when their doin it they leave him out :)
