I want to, so much, but then there's that what-if: what if something does happen, and people go if you hadn't done this and this or taken that precaution then you wouldn't have been raped.

Because I see that happening all the time: people saying things like "if she was wearing that miniskirt she was obviously asking for it" or "if she was all alone with a man in a room what did she expect" and so on. And then I might end up wondering what I could have done differently, like taking a longer, safer path instead of some dodgy short-cut down an alley while walking with a male friend, and the guilt and regret would never end thinking that I could have avoided it if only I had listened to the people who told me to be careful.

Those people who say that she was asking for it are ignorant motherfuckers. Some women who wear miniskirts get raped. More don't. Some women who are alone in rooms with men get raped. More don't. There's nothing you can really do to prevent yourself from ever getting raped. Women in burkas who have never left their homes get raped.

People who aren't as scared as you still get scared some times. As a single young women with very little ability to defend herself, do I sometimes get scared walking alone in the city at night? Yes I do. But you need to understand that your fears have gone beyond the rational and have become debilitating.

I really hope you can some day get over your phobia OP. Relationships with men, all nonsexual in my case, can be some of the more fulfilling in life, and I hope that one day you'll have an opportunity to have a really, really, great guy somewhere in your life. ^_^

the "she was asking for it" people are misogynist scum. Don't listen to them.

There is nothing wrong with keeping yourself aware of your surroundings. Don't leave your drink where you can't see it at parties. Don't let dudes you barely know into your apartment after a date or whatever. Don't wear headphones if you're walking alone (this is helping protect you from mugging as much as rape and hopefully you'll never have anything come of this other than being bored on your way home).

But you can't let it take over your entire life. :\ Seriously, counseling will probably do wonders for you.
