He got a DUI, then got caught driving after the hours that were allowed, but he wasn't drinking at that time. He is a math teacher!

LOL..it's just a date. Maybe consider such things as his driving record when you are planning to marry him. But if he is in the habit of driving poorly, maybe you should pick him up!

Are you asking if you should be a passenger in this person's car or about a date? One has nothing to do with the other. Everyone has made mistakes and problems in their life, if you judge a person by their income, or "driving" record for dating reasons, he shouldn't date you. There's more to people than that. If the question is about who's driving, why don't you offer if you have license to ease the tension, obviously he's likes you enough to take this risk and let you know about it. Don't hold it against him. That takes guts, exposing vulnerability and trusting you, that's a good trait.

Well normally I'd say yes BUT he got a DUI then got caught driving.
Not only did he get caught with a DUI, he also got caught driving after the hours that he was allowed to drive. That to me is very irresponsible and tells me that he did not learn his lesson.
That to me is a date breaker, unless he was caught taking someone to the emergency room because they were dying.

Dump him. Drinking and driving is not a mistake. Forgetting to use your turn signal is a mistake. Flaunting the law AFTER this DUI is even more problematic. He made a concious decision (while sober) to disregard the punishment for his initial crime. If he were serious about changing, he would NOT have done this.
I would never choose to go out with someone who thinks drinking to the point of drunkenness is acceptable. Our society needs to grow up. A drink or two is fine. Intoxication is not.

You should not take this against him. If his driver's license was suspended for the reason you stated does not mean that he is a bad person. Yeah, people make mistakes, we all do and to judge him rashly by that incident is unfair to him. Give time to know his character better by going on a date with him. This will give you a chance to gauge if he is well educated as you say he is.

1.Would you like someone ask the same about you?
2. Who need a responsabile woman on a date? That should be a wife or mom.
3. Maybe you should make a list to tell him what mistakes are aloud in your kindergarden.
4. If you like him go for it.
What driver license got to do with it?

Forgive his mistakes...everybody has made mistakes once or twice in their lives.
For example, my ex got his license suspended. To be honest, I don't know WHY, (it wasn't a DUI) but I shrugged it off. Nothing to really judge him by.

Well educated means nothing if he doesn't have the common sense to stay off the road when he's been drinking.
If he had plowed into the back of a minivan, killing a married couple with a few children, would you still consider dating him? He IS educated and a math teacher...
I'd say no.

Not if he is driving you, I would not drive him in your car either
if you get pulled over he will be hauled off for another offence, do you really want to go out with someone who was irresponsible enough to drink and drive in the first place?

If that's what you really think about on a date, then I say stay away. Try going down to your local toy shop and buying a Ken doll. You never know--you may find that you and the plastic doll have a lot in common.
