“I’m pretty sure she saved my life that day.”

Mainly: Women began sharing times when good samaritans saved them from men acting very, very creepy.

Here are their stories:

“I was on a first date.

It was actually the perfect date.

The guy said absolutely everything right, we laughed, it was a great time.

We order pudding, and this guy’s whole demeanor changes.

He says, ‘So when should we tell our parents?’

And I am confused.

He says, ‘The wedding date.

I’m thinking March, April?

What about you?’

I met him 90 minutes ago.

He continues to push.”

“I interrupt and say, ‘Hey, I’m not marrying you.

Especially after one date.’

I’m so shocked.

My date tries to grab at me.

An tiny elderly couple had been watching us.

They both grabbed their canes, and came to our table, put themselves between us.

She pulled me away.

Eventually, crazy date left, and of course didn’t pay his half of the bill.

The elderly couple wouldn’t let me pay, so they took care of it.

They took me home in their van.

We realized they live only a street or two away from my flat.

We exchanged addresses and phone numbers.

I had Christmas dinner at their house 8 months later.

We stayed in touch, even after I moved.

They’ve both passed, now, but they were amazing people.”

“When I was 16, I was walking to work to at a golf course.

I worked at as a waitress.

It was on the main highway in a small rural town.

He grabbed my arm and tried pulling me in.”

“This happened in front of my neighbor’s house three doors down from mine.

Pretty sure she saved my life that day.”

I said I did not, and they told me he had been watching my daughter."

“About 40 years ago in Los Angeles, I was having a drink at a quiet bar.

There were two young women having a quiet drink by themselves.

Two young men were insisting that the women join them.

“The women were understandably flustered.

So I got up, picked up the two womens drinks, and carried them back to their table.

I sat back down at my table.”

There was someone on the other side of the train car who was monologuing.

And sure enough, he was.”

They were heroes that night."

I was nearly home.

Sure enough, in the middle of nowhere, he stops the truck and comes after me.

“I ran and he ran after me.

Finally, when I heard his rig leave I slowly checked out the road.

Another big rig came down the road.

I flagged him down.

I was still shaking and told him I’d had some trouble.

We didn’t talk but with tears in my eyes I thanked him and made my way home.

A stranger saved me that night.

There aren’t words to express my gratitude.

I hope good karma blessed him.

I’ve never forgotten him.”

We got a shot and a cocktail (from a bartender who is friends with my hubby).

We head down to the dance floor.

This is where we turn into idiots.

We put our drinks down on the side bar by the dance floor."

“We started dancing and having a great time.

My sister-in-law filled in the blanks.

After I gave them a hug, I went and drank some of my drink.

When I came over next, I was super disoriented but they just assumed I was drunk.

I told her I needed air, so I walked outside.

A few minutes later she heard yelling.

Her and my brother-in-law run outside.

The guys kept saying, ‘Its ok, we will bring you to him.’

Well, a patron who had seen me around and knew who my boyfriend was knew something wasnt right.

He started yelling at them and they finally left after some tense words.

My sister-in-law called my husband.

He took me home.

I went to the ER about 6 the next morning and they did a blood draw.

I had indeed been roofied.

Had that gentleman not stepped in, Im afraid I know what would have happened.

I always pay attention to my surroundings, but this was a major lapse.

He walked away but reappeared at my passenger door, pulling on the door handle.”

“Thankfully my door was locked.

At that moment another car saw him, realized something wasnt right and pulled over.

He got back in his van and left.

The two strangers let me use their phone and stayed until my husband arrived.

I never got to thank them but am forever grateful that they cared enough to stop.

Who knows what might have happened.

I bought my first cellphone the next day.”

“One day while on the light-rail an older man was standing immediately behind a younger, teenage girl.

Inappropriately close, to the point where the person was touching the girl with his body.”

My neighbor Erik was a mechanic and had a second job where he worked the late shift.

Our apartment complex was rough and not the safest, and the parking was really far from the apartments.

“I used to walk to the grocery store a few blocks from my house.

When I got to the store I realized he followed me.

I hope that man got a raise.

Ive never walked home so fast in my life.”

“I had an experience where I felt angels were looking out for me.

I was driving home from seeing my brother who was dying of cancer.

I was distracted with worry.

I stopped at a rest stop for a break.

A man was looking at the map.

A woman was finishing washing her hands in the bathroom.

“Now, I am watchful for myself and others.

I will always think of the kindness of this couple.

I say a special prayer of gratitude for them every time I pass a rest stop.”

“About 5-6 years ago, I was in Nashville with my husband, my brother and his girlfriend.

We were at bar downtown (as you do) and I needed to use the bathroom.

She was a tiny little thing.

My friend is in the bathroom and this man across the bar wont stop staring at me.

Im so uncomfortable and scared.'”

“I immediately told her Id stay and asked her to describe the man.

My husband had come to find me and this young woman by this time.

Once the man at the bar saw my husband, he BOLTED out the door.

My husband followed but by the time he got to the street, the man was gone.

I still think about that night every so often…I hope those ladies are doing well.”

Mybest friendback then was named Cindy.

Well Cindy asked me to walk her half way home from where I lived.

There was a long, dark street that separated my home from hers.

Well, her mom was an alcoholic and didnt pay much attention to her.

I walked her home anyway.”

I remember an old van pulled up next to me.

There were about five or six guys in it.

I could smell the liquor from the van when they opened the door.

I said yes sir.

He asked where do you live.

I said I live up the road by the over path.

I said yes sir!

I am 51 years old now and will never forget that old guy who saved me.”
