I’m amazed that no one mentioned date rape until 3/4 of the way through the thread.

In college I lived for a year in an all-male dorm. Before we were allowed to move in we all had to attend a seminar given by a local ADA. We were told that if a woman had sex with us then later decided that she felt “forced into it” because we bought her dinner, gave her a ride, helped her fold her laundry, etc…she could charge us with rape. That was back in the late 80′s. They really tried to scare the hell out of us. It’s a wonder we dated at all.

How is this any different than date rape?
