             Before you go to a party or on a date you should bring some extra cash in case you need a cab ride home. You could be on a date and go to a parking lot in the other persons car and they might be forcing you to have sex with them but you keep saying no! Then you get out of the car and they take off leaving you there. You might be at a party and you would like to leave before something bad happens, but you did not drive and you do not trust anyone there to give you a ride home. That is when you either flag down a cab or call for one.
             When you are dating someone new you should double date or even group date until you know them well enough. It is also a good idea to stay away from drugs and alcohol because they alter your thinking. You could be saying yes to sleeping with them, but you really mean no or you do not say anything. Avoid first couple dates at home or isolated places. (HWC)
             There are a few warning signs for a unsafe relationship. Anyone that displays violent outbursts toward you is a red light to stay away from them. If they are verbally abusive or over controlling those relationships hardly ever work out. If they are always deciding what restaurant or movie to go to, they could also be demanding sex when they want it. If you say no and they proceed, this is date-rape.
