Welcome to Gaia! ::

If I remember correctly, there was a pretty extensive study done awhile back that found that if you would be the target of a crime while walking, the crime was more likely to occur between 6 and 10 pm. Having said that, bad things can happen to you at any time of the day or night.

My best friend and her boyfriend got mugged when they were in grade eleven. It was a little after eleven and they were walking through a 10 m long trail to cut over to the next street. Supposedly the group who mugged them smelled drunk too.

I used to live on a pretty nice street and apparently around 10 pm a stranger attacked and sexually assault a girl as she was walking to the corner store on my street. My boyfriend in high school almost always walked me home and no one ever bothered us.

The worst I have ever had was being catcalled by men, who tried to get me to "go party with them" when I was fourteen. It was around seven in the evening, but a little dim since it was winter.

Where I am is what determines how safe I feel at night. I usually steer clear of trails and streets I deem "shady". Having said that, at my university and the surrounding area I feel safe walking around at all times of day or night. Mostly because it's a big enough university to have campus security on duty at night and the campus is small enough that are always a few people within eye shot.

if someone pulls up to you and asks you if you want a ride then they probably think you're a prostitute. smart johns/tricks won't outright ask if you are one, but asking someone if they want a ride is a common euphemism for prostitution.

some guy did the same thing to me. i saw him coming because he was racing down an alleyway with all his lights on just so he could wait at a parking lot exit for me to walk by. there was no traffic so he could have turned before i got to the exit, but he waited for me to walk by to his side of the vehicle and then he asked if i wanted a ride. to which i gave him a dirty look and said no. after that i ran several blocks to a 24 hour gas station in case he decided to follow me

No, the 2nd amendment.

I'm afraid of the dark, but it's because my mind plays tricks on me and I start worrying about ghosts and stuff... ._.;

Depends where I'm living at the time. I used to live in a place where I would walk around at 2-3am and I didn't feel anxious or anything. But now, where I live, I wouldn't as it's not great. For me, personally, it's down to where I live.
