Blind dates are scary and can hurt or cost you your life. Young guys and girls don’t realize what they’re getting into because they see a picture of someone they want to date and maybe they talked to them once on the phone not knowing that these so-called dates are looking for something else.

There are a lot of nice strangers, but it’s not worth gambling on whether the one you know is good or bad. A nineteen-year-old girl went on a blind date with someone she met through an online dating site and said it was the worst night of her life.

Instead of her driving her own car, he picked her up and told her they were going to the restaurant, but instead drove her into the woods. It was dark and cold and she was terrified. He kept saying that he wanted to show her something.

When he stopped the car in a desolate wooded area, he got out, grabbed some duct tape, pulled her out of the car, and slapped his hands on her back. He taped her mouth so she couldn’t scream and her eyes so she couldn’t see what was going on.

He wanted her to be afraid and, in fact, she was. He put a knife to his throat and told him that if he tried to fight him, he would cut his throat. He raped her over and over again and beat her until she was unconscious.

She saw the headlights of another car and thought she was dead, so she got into her car and sped away. She came to and was able to get up from where the car saw her and passersby took her to the hospital. The police questioned her and she told them her name, the online dating site where she met him, but when they checked her profile, she didn’t even use her real name.

He was lucky because for some reason another car came to the same wooded area and saved his life. She was miles from nowhere and probably wouldn’t have made it on foot because it was cold, she was badly injured, and she had no shoes on. It is good that two teenagers looked for a private place to kiss becoming heroes for this girl.

She said she will never forget the horror of that night and is grateful to have had a second chance at life. Blind dates are dangerous, rather it is a friend who wants you to date someone you never met or someone from an online dating site.

Your best chance of finding the date of your dreams is to go to your local dating service. They are reputable, conduct background checks, and require their members to meet with them in person.
