I have just recently returned home after completing a year of community service for a non profit organization in Texas. While there I met a variety of men, but none who really interested me until about six months ago. Let's call him "Blue". I met Blue while at work, he is a felon serving time with one of the minimum security jails, and they have a program that allows them to come out and do community service. We began to write letters to each other,and I have to admit that I am beginning to have some feelings for him although at the moment, my doubts outweigh everything else. Outside of the fact that he is in jail and won't be out for another 10 months, he has a bachelor's degree, and I believe that he does care for me, but I am concerned with the fact that he is in jail, and that he is also white and I am black. I have had quite a bit of interaction with him and I really enjoy his company. Honestly, I believe that we could have a great relationship but I am afraid of the consequences. Right now my family has a limited idea of him ,they know that I am dating Blue, but they are not aware that he is in jail, they believe that he has already served his time. Blue and I have already discussed that at some point, if we are to have a future that they should know about his past, but I want them to get a chance to know him before they pass any judgements. It seems like I have begun to weave an intricate web of lies and I don't like that feeling, but at the same time, I have to be realistic, I know that if my family had any idea that I was corresponding with an inmate, they would KILL ME!! But I really honestly believe that we are compatible and that this could work. I do not consider myself to be stupid or naieve, but I can't help but question my own sanity at this point. This is not something that I would have normally gotten myself into, but I have now and I don't really know what to do. Please any advice that you all can give me will be greatly appreciated.
