Would you date a person that has attempted suicide before?

Yeah, I don't see why that would be a problem. Those people usually need love/support more than ever so they deserve to date someone who really cares about them

A lot of people have prejudice towards them... Specially if they have scars or stuff. I am one myself so I know how hard it is

The world is very judgmental but that doesn't mean that there aren't people who will accept you for who you are, and not for things such as scars (emotional and physical)

So the situation is they wanna date me and we're friends and I know this information?

Or we're dating and they tell me this information shortly after we start seeing each other?

I guess it just depends on a lot of factors, like how I feel about them, when and how they tell me, etc

Yes, if I cared for them and they cared for me in the same way then I would want to be with them, and hopefully they'd be at a better place in life than they were when they attempted to end their life. If they can accept me with my autism and weird quirks then I can accept them and their past. I would rather offer them support than judge them for something like that. It happened. They can't change that. Just like there are things in my past that can't be changed. You have to move forward I think, not forgetting your past but remembering and learning from it.

If I cared enough, it just depends on the person. Tbh though to help someone through that kind of thing is pretty tough (speaking as someone who has friends who have suffered through anxiety and depression), its not as easy as to just say that they deserve someone that loves them enough (sometimes you'll hate them and they'll hate you) so I wouldn't exactly actively pursue it or anything. However again if I end up really liking someone then I wouldn't mind.

I wouldn’t, it’ crappy of me but I’ve been there [dated someone like that] and it’s so unbelievably tiring and heartbreaking. I mean, if it was distant past and they’ve had counselling and/or psychological help, if there are no suicidal thoughts anymore and hasn’t been for a while [a long while, years!] then I guess it’s been okay but I wouldn’t actively go out of my way to date someone who’s recently had suicidal thoughts. 
 

Edit: I want to add to this that I’m not totally stable myself, it’s not that I have an issue with someone’s scars, it’s that it wouldn’t be good for the other person to be with me if I can’t emotionally support them to the degree they need it. The reason I won’t date them isn’t because of them, it’s because I am not good enough to take care of them like I would want to, or like they would need….. in closing, I suck!

It depends.

Yes if they are currently medicated and is going to theraphy.

 

Not too sure if they're not and refuse to get help.

I can't...support and help you all by myself. You're going to need to get professional help.

 

I know mental illness doesn't go away, but professional help can make it so it doesn't get in the way of your daily life. (Or end up being an extremly extremly heavy weight for those around you to carry.)

I've had to cut myself off of someone that wouldn't want to get help but complained about it a lot and it was just so...draining. I can not handle that at all. I can't keep trying to lift you up and cheer you up as you seem to get worse each day and not getting any professional help. I just can't.
