Answer by ~Bow In My Presence~
It depends on the woman. Maybe if she was in one, as well. Or maybe if she was willing to date someone in hopes that they could change, there’s plenty of dumb women. I used to one of them. I think that yes, his willingness and commitment would be a good thing. Would I date him running the risk of him messing up MY life, never!

Question by brittani LS: Why should a woman stop drinking alcohol or undergo alcohol treatment first before deciding to get pregnant?
One of my closest girl friends married last month and promptly expressed her desired to have a baby. I am bothered because she’s an alcoholic, though she doesn’t want to admit it. When I advised her to undergo treatment first, she just fired back another question to me.

what do you mean? Answer below!

We dated last fall and I was attracted to her and developing deep feelings. She hated her ex-fiance but was hurt by him when he broke off the engagement. Because of that she kept everyone (including me) at arms length and acted cold and heartless. I tried to keep my cool and paitence but about six months ago she took me out to dinner for my birthday and I told her how I finally felt and told her that I feel sorry for her about what her ex did. Well dinner went to hell, she got pissed and I told her to leave me alone and get counseling (pretty mean but alcohol was involved). I sent her a very sincere apology the next day and refused to communicate with her again.
Last week she emailed me out of the blue apologizing for being “f’d up and resentful of her situation” and that she misses me and that she was so hurt. I care about her and am willing to see if she has changed. She asked me out tonight. What do I do or say to break the ice again and see if there is channge?
