Should I go?

[TheLibraryIsOpen]

Supposed to be going on a 2nd date tonight but he told me he had split up from his previous girlfriend after they had a physical fight and they both got cautioned.
Should I accept the explanation that it was a one off or run for the hills? I know what I would advise a friend in this situation but my friends are saying to still go and get more information.

Run for the hills. Your friends are wrong, you owe this man nothing after one date.

Thank you ladies, I thought as much but then thought I was over thinking - nice that he was honest and said it was a one off but then I only have his word for it, he didn't have to tell me but it has made me nervous.
Thanks again :) off to send a sorry can't make it text :)

I suppose you could go and hear his explanation but what will you do with that information? Will you whole -heatedly believe his story or will it leave you with massive questions and doubts? He is very likely to just tell you what he wants you to believe. However, He might actually tell you truth and he admits he made a real mistake but you will have no way of truly knowing. Might be best to quit before you get involved.
