There is a lot of folly in youth & often should not be used to cross off a potentially good person. He sounds like a free spirit of fun & adventure.
Now if he is NOW mature, responsible & loyal/faithful it might work
He was a nice fellow, musta just made a mistake in his youth (don't know a lot of the details, so can't really judge fully). Just knew he was very intellegent and reserved. He could do about anything mech-wise, and had a photographic memory of details. I liked him, but lol, I am married and oppose gay marriages. LOL..
