I get these guys (between 20 and 50 years old) staring at me, checking me out and whistling etc. I suppose I can take that as a compliment, and I am aware that there are many perverts around. But I have this fear of when I'm in the streets alone that I could end up being sexually abused by men a lot older than myself. Such as, if I were walking down a dark alley a man could grab me from behind and I'd have no chance! It's just a scary thought going through my head, and I'm fed up with being paranoid. How can I reassure myself? Reply to this Question

Why cant she just have mates with her or get someone to drop her off at her house.Besides I think you're being paranoid. You say you're average looking but guys check you out. Whatever. You're probably and ugly slut looking for Some. You prob want it.

 Buy yourself a rape alram and if you can find it pepper spray and everytime you get scared keep it in your hands it will reassure you. I know there are bad people out there but you cant live in fear all your time just try not to be alone at night

Dont put yourself at risk or in a dangerous situation. Why not invest in some classes for self defense for women, they are so good. I went to a taster class just before Christmas but money shortage means i cannot do the full course, but i would highly recommend something like that. But if in doubt then stay well away from danger.
take care

 hey hun, well your right to be aware of your safety, but letting it ruin your social life is another thing. there are many precautions that you can take while your out - first of all, never walk home or get a taxi home alone. always let your friends and parents know where you will be and how to reach you. alot of guys that stare at you and whistle are harmless - irritating but harmless! once you are careful and smart about what you do and where you go, you should be fine. alot of sexual abuse and rape cases happen when the girl is alone and vulnerable. another thing is always watch your drink wen your out. dont worry hun you'll be fine!if you want to talk about this more, feel free to email me!xxx
