here's the thing....I met someone on here,and hit it off with him,had the first offline meeting and everything.I knew going in that he had a dwi and that he'd have to serve at least 3 days in jail.he was supposed to have gotten out saturday night,and I havent heard from him since he went in.I'm thinking that his sentence might have been extended,since he hasnt been online or anything since the night before he went in.I really like this guy,and his charges are from a year ago,made some changes since then.my question is should I give this a chance,or should I just go on my way?

prison sex can turn a man ,from what i heard

Uhm, today is monday... just saying...

lol he's in county lockup,and I know it's monday,I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt til I get the facts on whats going on

if he doesn't call you in a week then decide what to do!

This is my personal opinion and personal experience. Please do not take this in any other way but my opinion.
Step away..there are to many fish in the sea. You are a pretty girl and getting involved with someone who now has a record is a bad move.

he has a record then he could be rich,what kind of music does he play,maybe i've heard of him jk

Give him a chance if u feel like its worth if u have a attraction,but because its an extra day or so since he responded, and your questioning already about wether to give up so dang early,id say give it up.....thats my 2 cents

First of all it is a DWI, we all make mistakes. Not like he is a mass murderer. sheesh!!!!

just because someone has a record doesnt necessarily mean they're a bad person,in his case he made a few stupid mistakes and he's actively trying to change.I've had family get thrown in jail because they took the fall for another family member,and they did the time then rebuilt their lives.that's just my experience though,I'm willing to give this guy the benefit of the doubt once I find out for sure what's going on,and only then

I know alot of great people who have f*cked up... you're right it's a DWI not attempted murder.

I say give it a week it's only monday. If he was in there all weekend he probably slept on sunday and worked today.

yeah I know the minimum jail time required is 72 hours,judges can and do change their minds,so his sentence could have been extended,I dont know for sure,and if he still is in jail the phones wont call to a cell phone,like I have so he wouldnt be able to get ahold of me if he tried.I'm going to call tomorrow and see if I can find out if he's still there,then we'll see what happens...

You can still give him his chance but keep a open mind and don't let him pull you into anything your not ready for.

absolutely,I dont think he could make me do anything against my will,I'm too stubborn for that lol.like I said,I've had family in jail before,and I'm not going to ignore anyone for something like that unless they were in for a violent crime.he was open about things from the beginning,never tried to hide it from me,and was afraid that I wouldnt give him the time of day because of it,and was very attentive before he went in,that's why I think the judge extended his sentence since he'd text or talk on here with me a couple times a day.if it turns out to be a mistake,then I'll learn from it,otherwise why not try?

Hey sweetie, just call the jail and find out the status on his sentence. If its just a dui, you shouldn't worry about it. But if he's in county, I think it is more like 30 days.

dump him.!!!

he can tell you anything he wants
so just be careful

i'd say give him a chance if that was his only offense.hell i have a record but i learned my lesson....and next time i'll try harder not to get caught




hehe j/k (or am i?)

the minimum required sentence for a dwi in texas is 72 hours in jail,but sometimes judges give probation for the full sentence.his original sentence was 18 months probation,with the serving 72 hours as a condition of the probation.I'm going to call the jail in the morning and see what they'll tell me.even if they did extend his sentence,that doesnt matter to me.He's been nothing but honest with me,and wants to change,so if me being there will help with that,then why not give him a chance?I dont believe in turning my back on someone who's proven themself to be a good person for mistakes that happened in their past.it's just who I am,and always will be

It is simply a matter of what is in your heart...
If you really like the guy, then it is only within yourself, that you will find the true answer...other people may give you "advice", telling you to drop him, but they may not mean well...
Not that it is, has or will happen, but some people tell you something and make it sound like a pretty story, and you go with their advice, only to find out later, that your gut told you the right thing to do...
though, it also is a good thing to ask others for advice....

You must hold the ability to see through the "advice", that is given in the hopes of leading you into misery...(misery loves company), and the "advice" that is truely from ones heart to help you progress in your journey....

the hardest thing to do is often figuring out which is the heart and which will lead to misery...
The best people to ask for advice, are the ones who are the closest and most trusted by you, that you know won't lead you astray.....
