I have a crush...
Is crush even the right word for it at my age? Anyway... I met this guy... He's funny, likes some of the same stuff I do, frequent the same bar that I do, has tattoos... I mean come on! He's adorable.
My family on the other hand apparently "knows" him.
I said something about thinking he was cute (we officially met when he took a friend and I to said bar.) and wanting to hangout with him again. My mom flipped her lid. Told all of the family that I was hanging out with him. She then tells me that he was married, has kids (which I knew.) The reason they got devoriced was because he beat her, he's in to drugs and just over all he's a bad dude. Not to mention he's like so much older than me.
I don't know how to feel at this point. Like I can't find anything that backs up what everybody is telling me. He was such a gentleman the night we all went out together. I just... I feel like my family is trying to keep me away from every guy I've ever met. I'm so tired of it. I just want to be happy. I want to meet new people. I can't because of stuff like this.
