BBM I want to agree with you, I really do! But I remember going on a date one time with a guy I was a little bit iffy about already. Now that I've got more life experience and maturity I realize I NEVER EVER should have gotten into the car with him, but I did. What could it hurt, right? (yeah... naive!) 5 minutes later I was wishing I had told someone where we were going. 10 minutes later when he was hitting the dashboard of his car and yelling at me because I couldn't give a "good enough" answer why I "liked" him, I was scared. I made up some kind of fake reason that finally calmed him down and kept him calm enough that I got home safely, but it could've been different. I know it's a very different circumstance in a lot of ways, but I wasn't much younger than Erin when that happened. I wonder if Erin did have some kind of uneasy feeling in her gut that led her to be nervous, but not nervous enough to skip it entirely.
ETA: sorry I realized that sounded off a bit. I agree with you that you might not have done this MaskedWoman - I wasn't meaning to question what you'd do (sorry!). I was thinking of some really 'young and dumb' things that I did even though I consider myself relatively intelligent most of the time.
No worries at all. I understood what you meant. I think I was born with a well-developed "what if" reflex that kept me from doing very many "crazy" things in my life. Or I'm just a chicken, LOL.
