What Not to Say

Submitted by Amy:

Charles and I chatted on instant messenger.  He said that he wanted to pick me up to take me out, and I told him that on a first date, I prefer to meet people somewhere.  You never know, right?  He seemed to think that was fine, and we talked for a while about other things and finally decided to meet up on a Wednesday night.

Our original plan was to meet on a main street and walk to a bar or restaurant but he called me an hour before and asked me, "What time should I pick you up?"

I told him, "I'd rather meet you, like the original plan."

He said, "It'll be easier for me to just come and pick you up.  It's really not a big deal.  I'm not going to rape you or something."

Guys: if there's one thing you'd like to do to make a woman uncomfortable, it's to say the word "rape" in almost any context. 

I repeated, "I'd really rather not.  Why don't we just meet up like we were going to?"

"That's dumb.  Were you raped or something?"

I told him, "No.  Now I'm going to either meet you someplace or I'm not going to meet you at all."

He said, "Whatever.  This is bullshit," and hung up.  That's the last I heard from him.

  4. Good for you! So many female posters on this site seem to have no problem following some creepy guy they just met to an abandoned warehouse in a bad section of town. I'm surprised so many of them live to tell the tale.

  7. 11:07 - 9:12 never said that rape was awesome, they said that saying "were you raped or something?" was awesome. But yes, rape is pretty awesome.

    I lost my virginity to some hot guy that raped me. Now I'm a stripper. Looks like I'm not daddy's little girl anymore!

  8. With the exception of Jonathan's comment, which was funny, and Masodark's comment, which made sense, everything else on this thread is cringe-inducing.

  12. When he said "That's dumb. Were you raped or something?" I would not have offered to meet him again. I would have told him off and hung up.
