Hi everyone! I need some advice from my favorite girls on the 'net.
Yesterday, an interesting situation occurred. I'm 22 years old and a college student, and I've always been awfully reserved.
However, I felt great yesterday. I decided to really go all out and dress myself up. I did my hair, put on a skirt, dolled myself up and felt absolutely fantastic. My confidence flared up.
While I was at school, a guy started chatting with me. He even asked if I wanted to hang out before I had to go to class. Okay, sure! He introduces me to his buddy, and both guys have to be around my age. It was nice meeting them I suppose.
They asked if I wanted to hop in their car with them while they ran to get some things at his buddy's house. I said sure. I got into the car with two male strangers and, honestly, I felt pretty uncomfortable because they are guys that I don't know. I assured myself that the likelihood of two college-aged guys kidnapping an adult woman from campus was unlikely.. but still made me nervous.
The guys decided to smoke pot (and they did ask me if I'd mind, so at least they weren't rude). I did end up sharing my phone number which I kind of wish I didn't now. (Though, I doubt I could avoid them. The campus is so small.)
Is it normal for an adult woman to feel uncomfortable in this situation? (Is it normal for an adult woman to get into the car?) Later, when my boyfriend came home from work, I told him about what happened, and he requested that I never again get into a car with strangers. Is he overly paranoid, or is that sound advice?
I'm a girl that's been raised by an underprotective father and no female role models, so I'm always confused as to which situations I should and shouldn't be hesitant about. I'm naturally weary of guys, and being 5'0" (and 127lbs ) I feel it'd be incredibly easy for someone to take advantage of me. I need some guidance!
