Personally I think no one is obligated to date anyone else. If person’s previous experiences or current life style or whatever else under the sun is a problem or creates a discomfort, then there is zero reasons to date that person.

No one owes anyone anything (especially if it is just someone we date, not tied for life). There are ton of men some women would consider dream come true but id not even want one date with them (when I was single), could be because of their current life or could be because of their past. Didn’t owe anyone explanation why.

My only concern is blaming a child for being molested because she let that happened or make a mockery out of child abuse because such horrible things are common or perhaps she liked it. That’s my only concern as I don’t tolerate such things perpetrated upon children and don’t take child abuse lightly.

Other than that at 22, or in fact at any age, there is zero reason to date anyone you aren’t 100% comfortable with. When people ask if they should date so and so, the answer is likely “no.”. If the person was right for you, you’d not have to ask. When you meet right person, you’ll know. This one isn’t the right match for you. And you aren’t the right match for her. It doesn’t matter if it’s her past or other issues. Things don’t need to be that hard in the very beginning and one shouldn’t have that many concerns that early on.

Good luck
