Five real dates. Five predators who looked harmless. One lesson that could save your life.

In this episode, you’ll hear true stories of seemingly “normal” dates that slowly twisted into something terrifying:

Blind date goes bad quickly.

• a friendly barbecue invitation that wasn’t what it seemed
• a date who “just wanted to talk” but drove her somewhere isolated
• a man whose spotless car and strange questions were quiet red flags
• casual conversations that were really information-gathering
• moments where politeness almost cost someone their safety

These aren’t over-the-top movie monsters, they’re the kind of people you could meet on an app, at a party, or through friends. As you listen, notice the tiny details: the uneasy feeling, the too-personal questions, the way they push past boundaries while pretending to be nice.

Let this be a cozy-but-creepy reminder: your discomfort is a gift, and you never owe anyone politeness at the expense of your safety.

Lie back, press play.
