Is it normal to fall in love with someone who is homeless

I think that I've met the person that I was meant to be with..I never believed in love at first sight..or soul mates until I met "him."

The problem is that he is homeless and living at a shelter. I work at a government assistance agency, deal with poor and homeless people daily, but something about him is different. We have so much in common (were are both 22, educated, have mothers with mental illnesses, no family support, love art and poetry, etc.)

Because of a string of bad luck, he ended up losing his job and ended up in a shelter. He's nicer to me then any guy has ever been. When I'm with him I feel so special.. But honestly, I am a little embarassed for people to know we are dating.

Is this normal??

    I think its really romantic actually, and if i were you i wouldn't care if he had a million dollars or zero because when you find true love its more valuable then anything you can put into a bank account.
    im not saying you should fully support him financially, but if the bond you have is as magical as you say it is i would stay with him, love him, learn from him, and support him ( emotionally not necessarily financially)

    dont be embarrassed, be happy! love like that doesn't come around every day, and you will regret it if you let him go for such a petty reason.

    Think of it this way. Do you fall in love with someone's house, their car, their bank account and wardrobe - or do you fall in love with someones personality and looks?

    Totally normal. Money doesn't make the man and most in society are one missed paycheck away from living on the streets anyway!!

    Why not? everyone deserves to be loved. Just make sure that if he has any addiction issue they handle first before you get more serious. You don't want to get a broken heart. Support him along the way - if he admits his errors and is sincerely willing to help himself - you'll be ok. Maybe he has no issue in that case great.

    The truth is you could fall for someone that has a good job and all the works and they can be more an embarrassment to you if they are egotistical or cheat on you. A homeless man is a man whose fallen on hard times, a little love and care and he can be a great mate. Don't be embarrassed, you are allowed to love whom ever you choose. Don't worry about what people say - your love story will be better than their guaranteed! Maybe they are just jealous.

    That is ego speaking to embarrassment. Time changes the shape of any mountain meaning anything is possible. Good luck with your interaction

    Maybe u could help him get back on his feet. Find a job, a home. If u feel u can have something with him u owe it to urself to try to find out. (helping him do better in life wouldn't hurt either)

    I think it's rare to find people you honestly click with so I think you should really considering being with him. ALL sorts of different people hit rock bottom for all different reasons and shouldn't be judged for it.
