Would you date someone who was homeless?

I probably would not. Most often than not there are other issues that are included with the homelessness and the situation requires a lot from the person to pull their self out. This would make a romantic relationship difficult to establish. Once things got better, there would be a better chance of pursuing a relationship though.

It all depends on *why*..

Not all of us have a Rolodex full of people to call..or to stay with if something happens.

And, hundreds of thousand of people are one or two paychecks away from being homeless...
For some..a health crisis wipes out their "cushion"..

That being said..
I worked with an agency that helped the homeless back in the mid-80's..
We helped them ghet jobs...classes for a better job..etc..
This one guy, we fronted the money for tools..because he had been a dtrywall guy before...and got him a job in construction in one of the office building going up at the time...

He quit after 2-3 days..
Why?
The boss wouldn't let him drink beer on the job.

being over the road trucker & have my own little home on board, I don't mind to date a homeless... drug & alcoholic free is mandirotory of course
its DOT regulation

I wouldn' t date a Man, who doesn't have his Own place .

If she was homeless due to no fault of her own.. yes, if it was due to drugs, alcohol... no

I agree with greeneyes and bluegrass. It depends of why he was homeless.

If it is because he can't hold a job to pay rent or because of drugs and alcohol, then no I wouldn't date him unless he got his act together and was stable for a couple years.

Hurricane Irma caused me to be homeless last summer. The home is still standing, just doesn't have a floor yet, so I guess you could say I am homeless... currently I am living in employee housing while I work seasonal jobs here and there.

Good topic, I wondered how my situation might effect someone wanting to date me, hopefully he won't be closed minded, but then again if he is... he's probably someone I wouldn't want to date anyways.

This is a hard question to answer. If a girl was homeless through no fault of her own then of course I would date her. If she was homeless because of alcohol or drugs then the alcohol or drugs could be messing up her mind so she may not be acting coherently so in that case I would want to help her get away from what caused her to be homeless. Then when she cleaned up her life I would date her. I just couldn't close my mind at the beginning without trying to help her get away from the cause.

Maybe. Not really sure of the situation.

I can't see myself thinking one day "you know what? I'm tired of the bars, I get rejected at the grocery store, the internet is just full of crap, I don't know where to meet women...I know, I'm going to just walk around where all the homeless people are and see if I can find a homeless hottie to ask out, I want to date a homeless!" and I've never typed "dating sites for the homeless" in a search bar.


Other than that, for all I know I have dated a homeless person.
Very few women I've met through the internet have asked me to pick them up from their home for a first date/meet.


I wouldn't date a person if all they did when I spoke to them was talk about their homeless situation.

If I've been dating a woman for a while and she all of a sudden became homeless, I wouldn't just drop her because of it, depending on certain factors.

If I've been dating a woman for a while and I somehow find out (other than by her constantly talking about it) that she's homeless and she's not aware I know, I would probably continue to date her.


Just depends on more details.

For me I went thru long period where dependence was the main thing in that persons life. I don't have the strength to go thru that again. So I run from those.. I wish them well, but run.

But if you were to loose your home due to a disaster.. fire , flood hurricane and were then homeless, well that is not of your choice. I wouldn't really even think twice about not dating you

depends probably on the definition one uses for 'homeless'. if it means one living on the streets, I doubt I would take on the stress and responsibility. If it means simply that one does not have a place of their own, or lives with other friends or family, as long as they shared values and interests, I dont see why not.

A homeless person? No freaking way. It's getting more difficult to come by a council house these days, but it is still quite unusual for people to be homeless.
We (still) have a good social security system so everyone is entitled to a benefit and other perks from government so you can afford a place to live in.
So if someone was homeless, they must've scr*wed up big place.
And even if they didn't...

I don't even date a man without a car let alone without a place to live. Most do have a car, but ppl in Amsterdam often don't because cost of parking your car there is outrageous and public transport is excellent within the city.
But I'm not interested in a man who hasn't got his chit & life together.

stoopid ol' bosses!

Rectum they didn't want the responsibility when he screwed himself.


To the wall.

No ....

Like crystal .. I am not attracted to men who cannot stand on their own two feet and have not safeguarded their future ... .. I get that disasters and the unexpected can happen but that is what insurance and savings are for .

A man who chooses to be homeless clearly has very different values to me .. we would not be compatible.

Date them no...... do everything I could to help them ..... yes

you said rectum.

I am envisioning some girl in weathered clothes at the entrance to the storm cistern by the river with a driftwood & wrack line fire, cooking legumes eeked from the train and a stolen squash from some crop field, watching the cranes load shipping containers onto the rusty barges and washing her clothes in the river; have dinner while the crickets chorus the trees; write some messages to some friends; then pack up and walk down the shoreline with a walking stick in the dark, thinking with the waves of the water about what lies on the far side of the rolling fog, coming to an underpass and settling down to sleep. Singing songs the next morning and making friends with everyone going out of the coffee shop, then hitchhiking to who knows where.

I would not miss the chance to go on a date with someone like that.

homelessness is not the deal breaker. but the why and how could be

Yup. On purpose.

no
