A couple of weeks ago one of my good friends introduced me to this adorable girl at a party. We talked a bit...but nothing seemed to come out of it that night. I had the impression that I liked her more than she liked me. A week or so later, I get a call from my friend telling me that the girl she introduced me to was interested in seeing me again. So I give her a call and we agree to hang out some more.
Fast forward to last week.
Me and her are hanging out at a little get together when my ex g/f shows up. Drama ensues. Nothing too bad. However, a few hours later, my ex g/f calls me - apparently she and the girl used to be friends. She goes on to explain to me how the girl I was currently with is an ex-drug user. For a naive college student like myserlf, suffice to say, I was a bit shocked.
Fast forward to earlier tonight.
The topic of her past history with drugs comes up in our conversation. Apparently it's true - she had a pretty bad experience with some pretty bad substances. However, she has been 100% clean for a year now. Her life is "finally going in the right direction", according to her.
So here's the situation...
I'm a pretty clean-cut, straight-forward college kid. I've never had experience with drugs or the type of shady background that she comes from. I don't want to discriminate against this girl because of her background. She is incredibly adorable, and I like being with her. However, there is definately a wall there that's keeping me from taking my feelings for her to another level. I have to admit that her past scares me.
On the other hand, however, I also have to admit that I am quite excited at the notion that I can open up a completely different world to her.
This is a tough call for me. I honestly don't know what to do.
