Dear Lady. Ann:
I’m a 32-year old single woman. All I do is work, church, and hang out with my close friends. As time goes by, this routine gets pretty boring. I have my good days, but I also have those days where I wish I was happily married to a great guy and we could start having kids together. Let’s just say those days are becoming more than my happy days. Sometimes, I actually think I’m depressed but I have recently met someone who seems to bring me back alive again.
A friend of mine introduced me to a friend of hers. It was a weird conversation that led to the introduction. Anyway, that first conversation sparked up joy in me. We have been communicating more often now and I intend to go see him soon. He has fallen in love with me and I think I’m in love with him too. I don’t know why he ended up in jail yet, he says he is going to tell me when we see. But he did say it wasn’t anything terrible like murder and he might be out in a few years. I told my friends I met someone who makes me happy and all that good stuff, but I haven’t told them he is in jail yet. I know none of them would support me. I mean even I think I might just be foolish and so lonely that I would fall in love with a man in jail.
He says I make him so happy and I can hear the joy in his voice every time I call him. I honestly feel that way too. What do you all think? Has any of you ever dated a man in jail? How did that go? Or am I just so vulnerable and I need to cut all contacts already? He did say he regrets his mistakes and prison has made him a better man. He has plans for when he comes out. Damn, he seems like a good man, please help!!!
