Would you date someone who was arrested in the past or has a criminal history but changed for the better in the future?

Some people do make mistakes in life but they can also change and become a better person in the future. Would it just depend on the situation or would you not want to date them at all?

I used to think I would, but as I got older, I became less naive. I originally assumed there must have been a real reason why the person committed that crime, and that I'd therefore never have to fear my own safety. But then I realized that the reason why most people commit crimes is due to low impulse control. Therefore, there's no way of knowing if the guy will momentarily think that I deserve to suffer from him committing a crime against me. Even if he regrets it afterwards, it will still be too late: I will have been affected. And people never really change by the way.

Sure, as long as he’s good to me
