How do I tell a woman I was in jail before?

I was put in jail overnight when I was 17 for domestic violence. I’m now 23. I’ve changed a lot since then. How would I tell a woman about my past without scaring her off?

I think its important to find a good time to tell her. Think about what you want to say carefully because how you say and what you say is more important.
Just be like, Id like to talk to you about something. Sit her down and tell her the truth of what happened, then be sure explain why you are sorry and very regretful about that day and why it will never happen with her etc
