    No, I wouldn't date someone like that. That's not a good idea because how do you know that he won't get you to use those things. That wouldn't be good. Move on. Their are other people out there to get into good relationships with.

    If you even suspect that he is still involved with illegal vices then you need to stay friends ONLY! He will make your life miserable and no matter what good or happy times you would have the bad ones are worse. You also are judged by the crowd you hang with and may go to jail along with him if the police ever pulled you over and found any drugs in his car. I hate to judge all people by my experience but most people who get involved with drugs, don't learn their lesson for many years or until they have lost everything that ever mattered to them. There are guys out there better for you.

    stay away ,it is so easy to get sucked in .if you like some that lives this lifestyle try to get them to help them selves .

    i have lived this life and i don't know how many people's lives have been ruined by just going out with someone they liked . they were strong also and would never start doing drugs . Fact is today some are dead ,some are life long members in N/A or AA some are in prison some of them have completely destroyed their lives .

    Honestly, don't get involved with someone who is familiar with that stuff. He could go and do that stuff anytime he wanted and it would be easy to get that stuff. Just let it go. He is a dirtbag. Show yourself as someone who won't take any stupidity from a man. You are better than that. You really oughta go without him. Your man will come to you, just don't be looking. Sooner or later. I don't know if this has helped, but I sure have had experience.

    If this person is really good for you, in the sense that you care for them and could see yourself with them, then sometimes we have to look at history as just that..history....what made people who they were in the past may not be who they are today...however, if he is still doing these things and it makes you uncomfortable, you need to seriously tell him your concerns and if you are worth it, he will change his ways and if he won't then, you deserve better kiddo..

    Respect yourself and your values .... move on!

    No matter what you do you can't change him so don't think you can .... that's an absolute!

    His doing drugs will cause many problems in your relationship and in your life .... it's just not worth it. There are lots of nice guys out there. Be patient ..... good things come to those who wait !! good luck to you : )

    If the person seems to have clean up their life for good, then maybe give them a chance. If they have the potential to backslide or have already done so, don't get involved. It's not worth the trouble, pain and heartache.

    I've seen a guy who was nothin drugs, and violence found the right girl and brand new man. Just found out that he got a bachelor's in buisness and just had his 3rd child. Try it out if things dont work out. At least you tryed its better to have tryed and failed then have never tried at all.
