In 2016, I decided to try online dating apps for the first time. It was great until I was assaulted. Three times. Over the course of less than two years. The first time I was attacked came at the end of an evening I spent with a man I met on Tinder. We had dinner downtown and then went to hang out at his apartment complex’s pool. I figured this was totally safe — neighborhood pools are public areas and there were other people there. I had to use the public bathroom before going back home for the evening, but it was being renovated, so my date invited me to use the bathroom in his apartment before heading home. I agreed. Once I got inside, however, the nightmare every woman fears began. He grabbed my arms — leaving bruises — and attacked my face with his tongue. It was disgusting, but after a few seconds of struggling to get away, I realized that this man was not going to willingly let go of me. My brain went into survival mode: I kissed him back until he let go of my arms, at which point I ran toward the door. I jammed my foot in the doorway as he tried to slam it shut. I knew then that it was time to start screaming for help. He must have known, too, because as soon as I opened my mouth to start screaming, he lost his grip on the door enough that I was able to use my foot and a free hand to pry it open and run away.
