Only once have I been propositioned & it was a bit freaky. I was 16 or 17. I had a girlfriend who lived rurally about 120 miles away. I had a habit of getting high & deciding that it was a good idea to go see her. Hitchhiking. At night. So I would toss some beer & reefer into a knapsack & head out at midnight. Hitchhiking at night is & was not an incredibly great idea & I often got picked up by some pretty weird people. Drunks. Long-haul truck drivers.

The night in question a man picked me up in a car. We were on a lonely highway with little to no traffic at one in the morning. He was talkative. He told me he just got out of prison a couple of months before. I wasn’t terribly happy to hear that. He cruised around the subject of sex in jail. Needless to say, I was starting to get a bit nervous. He than asked if I was interested. I politely declined. He drove me another 10 miles to a highway ‘police-only’ turn-around in the middle of nowhere & dropped me off. It took me hours to get another ride.

It was an interesting experience.
