Could you date someone that is in jail for any reason. I'm asking because I just don't understand why my friend finds herself so in love with a man that is in jail over drugs and this is a man that she has never met in person.
Could anyone else ever do this and why or why not.

hi trisha...i know what you mean. there are women that have a thing for guys in jail and prison. some start their courtship with a guy in prison who is never getting out and they MARRY him.????? i don't know if the woman thinks she'll be appreciated more, or what. it boggles the mind of common sense. i would not want someone in jail or prison. he would have to be extremely special or maybe even rich to put up with that.

well i would never date a guy at first place who i have never met before... i mean u don't know whether he is a creep or some psycho. secondly knowing he is in a jail is like icing on the cake. its just too dangerous and try warning your friend.

Dear friend,
A person could be in jail for many reasons. May be some reasons makes one feel sympathy or may be the other side of law which one may kill or go to jail for his self defence, for social benefit, for their loved one so on those reasons goes. May be the reason might be known and the person might felt it to be more reasonable. Dating may make one to know another better. But still one should be always be careful while dating even a person in jail or not. A relationship can be easily made but once it is broken it is really painful.

I would never date man in prison that I have never met. If he is prison before I meet him, I know he is not the person I would like to be involved with.
Now, I have dated a person who was in prison, he was my boyfriend for four years, he got accused of a crime he did not do. I can say this this with certainty, because the day and time this crime was supposed to be committed he was with me. I had telephone records to prove it and the co defendant testified that he was not with him when the crime was committed. He also did not look like the description of the criminal that was given to the police. But they always say you are tried by a panel of your peers, and his peers I guess wanted to say that he was guilty. He was in prison for five years. The only reason, I continued our relationship is because I knew he did not do it. If I had any doubts what so ever, the relationship would have ended before the trial.
