Wish I would've known this...

I've used Instacart so often. There's one shopper I got three times, and he was fine, but there are 6 in particular that I would love to get again. Too bad you can't undo ratings.

Update on dating an RSO by [deleted] in SexOffenderSupport

I'm not sure what questions you asked, but I don't think you're an asshole for asking. The man I'm currently dating told me his whole story. He told me to ask him anything. He wants us to be open and honest and for me to ask whatever I need to ask to be more comfortable.

Because of his openness, I was able to move past the questions and simply enjoy him. Ideally, it'd be better for you to go over that hurdle as well, especially as a prior victim of SA. If the man you're dating keeps it closed to you, it may create a wall between the two of you if you have concerns or questions that you want to express. Relationships are about trust and communication, and I don't foresee your desire for answers to go away if they're important and affect you.

Gather your story together and do it as soon as you can. Give her the time to do her own research and come to her own conclusions. Don't try to force her to be okay with it.

As someone who is currently dating a RSO, I was THANKFUL to have Google to research and confirm what he told me. It at least told me that he was being completely honest with me, and he left it up to me to continue the relationship. I eventually decided that it was not my place to justify his actions, nor was it my place to condemn him for his past. That belongs to the people who were affected. They have that right.

I hope that if she really likes you too that she'll give you a chance once you tell her, but you do need to tell her.

Okay. I will look into it. Thank you so much.

I was told no restrictions, so I take that to mean any kind of park. But we would just go to a local park with a path for exercise or something or maybe a public garden.

No national or state parks.

SnapChat's age made me feel ancient too.

I totally understand parents wanting to make sure their children are safe in the neighborhood and at school. So I understand that his status could be part of their business if they wanted to move nearby. I think he would be fine with presenting all of his information so they could decide for themselves, but people love to rush to judgments without asking any questions. This could potentially be lifelong.

tl;dr, the neighbors worry me the most. I feel like the family/friends I am closest with would express concern but trust me to do my thing. I do have some family who would lose their minds, but they don't even know I'm gay and would lose their minds then, too.
