One of our readers would like a little advice with their dating dilemma. “Rachel” has been dating a guy she met at church for a couple of weeks. Someone at church heard they were dating and it wasn’t long before she started getting unsolicited info on the guy. Turns out he has a bad dating reputation.

She was going to dismiss it at first. When they gave the gory details of the last time he dated another person at church, she became worried. Should she consider what she has been told about him?

Have you ever been warned to stay clear of someone you were dating? Did you listen to the warning? Do you ever worry that you have a bad dating reputation that could ruin your chances with someone?
