I don't know if I ever shared the story of "The Felon" that I dated (briefly). I met him at a professional networking group about 21/2 years ago. He was new to Atlanta and, friendly Native Atlantan that I am, I offered to show him around a bit . (He wasn't too bad on the eyes either...) So we dated for about 3 weeks. Nothing serious. I got the feeling that there was some stuff that he wasn't sharing with me on a personal basis. I remember our first date, we went out on the mid-term election day. I asked him if he had voted and his response struck me as unsual. Then, the day before I went into the hospital for my boob surgery, I get an email from him titled "The Bomb". Now I thought that this was like "you are the bomb" email. Nope. It was a 10 megaton thermonuclear device sort of bomb. The short version: He's a convicted Felon. Not only that, but a convicted sex offender. Not only that, but convicted of Attempted Sexual Assault on a Child. (I"m sure Mom would LOVE this guy eh?) He bitterly explains that it was an internet set-up and he was trapped, etc. He offered to let me talk to his probation officer about it. (OMG) Now, I'm not one to make snap judgments (ok, sometimes I am) but I thought how awful it would be if he was innocent to have to deal with this all the time. I talked to some atty friends that said it was plausible. The Felon talked candidly about it and I thought I'd give him the benefit of the doubt for the moment, but wasn't going to pursue anything serious... Then, he came over to my house to set up my stereo/dvd player etc. He got rough. Too rough. Had I not taken a self-defense course, it would have been date rape rough. I saw something in his eyes that was different. And at that moment, I believed he could have done it. SO, FAST FORWARD. I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO HIM IN EONS. I GOT AN EMAIL FROM HIM THIS MORNING ASKING ME TO CALL HIM, THAT HE WANTED TO TALK. NO DETAILS OR EXPLANATIONS... Part of me wonders what he wants (as he ain't getting squat). Anyway, bottom line, that's how being a convicted felon got on my non-negotiable list for dating. |

Holy crap! I had a 'stalker' once but like a stupid young idiot that I was I didn't take it as seriously as I prolly should have. So glad you can defend yourself!!
I wouldn't dignify his email with a response either, it would just open a can of worms and give you tons of fodder for future blogs if you survived!
LOL

It's rather convenient if I wanted to send him an xmas card - I just have to go on my county's registry to get his updated address. LOL

I am now living in Jackson which has the state prision... I tell people that I made the move to find a boyfriend... They ask if I am serious and then I have to hit them.
I am glad you took a self defense course. I have been think of doing that myself. I am also glad you got out okay.

that's a bit scary. i understand giving him the benefit of the doubt, but getting rough (to the point of un-fun) is a bit freaky.
yeah, delete delete delete. and lock your doors. and find that baseball bat.

The defense course certainly opened my eyes to things. However, if a big guy tried some of those moves, I don't know if I'd be able to pull it off. The felon is actually the same height as me - so we were on a fairly level playing field.

However, I'm sure some of those guys are innocent, right? LOL

Makes me feel DULL.

Now I am considerably more cautious. I will google guys that I date and check for criminal records. (Scary to even admit that!)

I still recommend a shotgun.. Kim says a 20 gauge semi auto is perfect for home defense.
