Your fears of rape are not unfounded. Scientists have found that 1/2 of the male population are serial rapists.

Fear of Date Rape.....

men should be respectful, certainly, and cognizant of the fact that rape happens and women are right to be cautious. but it comes down to reasonability. i will do my best to honor reasonable caution. i always propose first meets in public places during the day, and i'll always ask a woman to name a familiar spot where she feels comfortable. (and that's a turnoff for some women because 'the man should work out date details.')

but if after all that, and meeting me and seeing that at least on the surface, i'm not a ravening monster, she's still giving off a hypercautious vibe, that's gonna be the end of things because there's only so much i can do to make her comfortable. the rest is about her relationship with herself and the world.

I honor davidpiano0609 for his respect of what each person's rights and responsibilities to others' and themselves ...

Women should be cautious and take precautions within reason, if they do not and they obsess about that fear, that is their own libel. Not the world's.

Man should honor a woman's right to be cautious but he is not there to be a 'shield'. Or he will get dented by things that are not his creation.

The right choices will invariably lead us to the right path, as will the wrong ones.

Choose your creation wisely, for there is no one but yourself to blame.

I think you're actually asking about how to avoid getting pushed into something. Its not very easy, you can just be trying to have a good time and bam next thing you know he's acting all weird and like you made him feel that way by something goofy, flirty, you did. A decent guy should stop though if specifically say to.

jeszzzz the op and a lot of the posters need to get a grip on reality, date rape, give me a break, simple you should not be putting yourself into a dangerous situation with someone you dont feel safe with or trust, you should not go to a strangers place.....take some responsibility for your own safety, and stop being such a child
as for our american friends, ... arm yourself with a gun, stun gun, pepper spray, are you people nuts over there

canoga77....I couldn't agree more. One doesn't have to go thru that kind of crap to have an opinion about it. But then again there are some victims that have that mentality where you shouldn't speak unless you 've experienced it yourself.

Umm yeah...what a crock...
