As men we have a responsibility to consider things from women& #39;s perspectives. I remember a time during my freshman year of college, asked a woman on a walk with me after 11pm. We walked around for a while and ended up at a park near campus.
I asked her what she thought about us and if she wanted to be my girlfriend. I could tell she wasn& #39;t the biggest fan of the idea, but she didn& #39;t say no either. I tried to plead my case, admittedly a little pushy about it.
Eventually we came to the conclusion that it wouldn& #39;t work out between us, and I walked her back to campus. I thought nothing of that situation until I revisited it in my mind a few months ago.
I thought to myself, "what if I made her uncomfortable with the way I approached her?" "What if I made her feel unsafe or even afraid to reject me?" I took her to a closed park past midnight. No one really knew we went.
What if I scarred her in some way? What if, to her, I was one of those men women warn each other to stay away from. I knew my intentions and my heart, but did she? How could she?
After some thinking praying, I hit her up to see how she viewed the encounter. To my relief, she told me she wasn& #39;t worried or afraid at all, and that she didn& #39;t think twice about it. But what if she had?
Us men have a responsibility to think situations all the way through, take our feelings out of it, and empathize with the plight of the woman. It& #39;s not fair to them that they have to fear for their lives everytime they interact with a man.
