Being a cop, at any hour of the day, should just mean that he should understand better that it might be dangerous. I was with 2 other people once, and we still got mugged. Life is unpredictable... there's a difference between spontenaity and stupidity.



Did one of you have a gun? People useally dont mess with cops. Thought we were talking about being safe on a date with a cop?


she has to get herself there.


Your just as likly to get attacked day or night, people who mug others dont care. Only way to protect agaist it is to learn to defend yourself.

I've been mugged, beaten up, guns pointed at me, shot at, etc. But that doesn't stop me from dictating what I do on a daily basis. Life only gives you one chance, don't live it in the safety of a lit room.


no, but you don't have to be stupid. Since I only have this one chance, I would rather spend it sans muggings, rapes, etc. I don't find the idea that much fun. You can take reasonable precautions, and for a woman, that means not running out alone in the middle of the night to meet a stranger. If my daughter did that I would be extremely upset.

You live in Oakland? Really how dangerous are your streets? I lived in the ghetto and walked around in the middle of the night all the time, I found it adventerous myself...but than again I'm a guy and I suppose you actually believe that any girl that walks out in the night gets eaten up by the evil drug user. Just me I suppose.


I don't live in Oakland.. I'm in Fresno.. yeah, it's pretty dangerous around here. I grew up next to Compton, and I used to wander the streets when I was a teen, but I had my bf's gun back then... lol

But yes, there's plenty of whores, pimps, drug dealers, and gang members all around over here.. out in the open!

I've been watching this thread and all I can say it that you have to remember women must be careful.. It doesn't matter if it's the ghetto or the most secure town in the world.. She must protect herself in every way... A man does not think like a woman and should not judge all that she is protecting... It is rude and unacceptable that a man ask for a last minute meeting with a woman unless he knows that she 1) already out and it could be possible or 2) is looking for something to do but none of her friends are available... Women do not only protect themselves from being mugged and raped but they protect their virtue as well... It's hard to understand but our morals mean a lot to most of us and if they are disrespected in any way we will question that person.. THAT is what makes us wifes and mothers and what men need to understand and respect... Every women should be treated with the same respect you would expect your mother, sister or Aunt to be treated...

another voice of reason. Plus he wouldn't commit to a meeting; acting mysterious, very soon, etc. and then all of a sudden - OK now. Hmmmm

I'm in Worcester Mass... which is a pretty crazy place... especially compared to Maine, where I grew up. Being mugged really isn't what I'm most worried about. I really don't have anything to be taken anyway.

As far as "life only gives you one chance" goes... I'd like to at least live till I'm 21... if not older. If I've got one life, I'd like to extend the fun as much as possible, and not get mugged, killed, or raped in the middle of the night. Just my oppinion. I'd go out any other time... and sometimes I do go out later, but only with a large rowdy group.

No, actually you're MORE likely to get attacked at night if you're a woman... during the day, more people are around to help or be a witness. :tongue:

I don't drink. Dating at night is one thing; meeting new people in the middle of the night is something else. If you can't get the distinction I am not going to bother talking to you anymore.

Fresno has some rough spots, I was just making a point that I'm sure you can understand. If you really want to play this road I'd say bring friends along so that your not uncomfortable with the meet, if possible a day meeting if you desire one. But from experience it is just as dangerous during the day as it can be at night.

I agree also with Princess, it is rather out of the blue to just decide you want to meet. Just keep your meeting to a point where you will be comfortable being out and do what needs to be done in order to insure that.flowerforyou

I've been talking to someone that's called me every night for 5 days in a row... we've had conversations for hours...

I asked him how long it'll be before he thinks we can meet and he tells me, "very soon..."

I comment on his vague answer jokingly, and then he says, "as soon as possible..."

He doesn't call tonight until a few minutes ago, and then asks me if I want to meet for coffee at Denny's or something... I said no, because I'm going to church in the morning and don't think it's wise to meet guys in the middle of the night. I joked to him about how I think he just did that because he knew I'd say no, but he insisted he had good intentions and he was just busy today.

So now I'm all bummed, and feeling lame... and on top of that, now he thinks I'm not spontaneous.

Any thoughts/suggestions/feedback?
hMMMMMMMMMMM if he was honourable in his intentions he would ask you out at a decent hour and not at booty call hour!!!:wink: bigsmile
