My friend (36F) left on her own to go on holiday abroad, on her own. She’s always loved camping and her long term relationship ended last year (on good terms) so last year she didn’t go. This year she really wanted to go, even if it was on her own. She’s camping in Switzerland right now. Beforehand I already felt just a bit worried, she can handle herself but still, the world is crazy out there. She was also a little nervous but I was also rather proud of her that she didn’t let it hold her back.

Just now, she texted me and another friend of ours that there was this man camping next to her, a man from Poland, 56 year old. They were having just normal conversation, being ‘tent neighbors’ and all, and after a while she got up to do the dishes and he went ‘Can I ask you something?’ and she went ‘Yeah sure’ and he asked her if she wanted to spend the night with him, as in, have sex! I’m so shocked and she’s so uncomfortable right now. She replied something like that this was a really weird question and he stayed nice but still, she’s feeling a little apprehensive now and it was already a big step for her to sleep on her own in a tent at night, let alone with someone saying that sleeping just one tent away?

Why would a man almost twice her age ask her something like that, just like that? Like wtf. I didn’t want to worry her too much by freaking out via text but we gave her some tips and she knows a few ways to be a little but safer I just have a bad feeling and am just worried, even if I know that in many cases nothing happens. There are enough cases in which things go bad.

And I absolutely hate that man for letting her go through that. I mean, I know nothing has happened, but still, I know her and she’s not going to sleep well tonight. Why put someone through that? Even the thought of this is making her uncomfortable and that’s just not okay.

Just needed to get this off my chest, thanks for reading.
