Woman's #metoo moments lead to despair
Do not leave the public place. Other women (and men) will help you. (Recently, I witnessed a drunken harassment situation turning aggressive in a bar, and I called the police.)
You used your own best judgment, but your own alcohol consumption made this harder for you to manage.
The way to handle your fears is to learn to be strong. Never override your own fears. A self-defense class could give you more confidence.
The next thing to work on is your own discernment. You are right; you do deserve better. If you say "no" and the person doesn't respect it, the date should end immediately.
There are great and nice guys out there. They will meet you for coffee as a way to get to know you.
Dear Amy: A few months ago, I received a "save the date" card from cousins for an upcoming wedding reception, to be held six months from now.
This couple has been married (with three children and a home) for the last 10 years!
This week, I received an invitation to a bridal shower for this couple.
When they got married 10 years ago, they did not have a wedding reception or any other celebration, because they were wed at the local courthouse.
This wedding reception and bridal shower will take place as if this couple is just being married without this 10-year history. No expense has been spared!
