The rapist is usually your “date,” whether you are on a first date, or even if you have been dating for a while. Date rape often involves the use of alcohol or date rape drugs or “roofies” which can be slipped into a beverage and cause you to be unable to resist, unable to say no, or cause you to black out.
If you are unsure what to do call the Minnesota Day One Crisis Line, 1.866.223.1111. There are advocates available in your area that can help you find local resources and can support you in your process, whatever it may be (i.e. reporting, seeking medical attention, talking with an advocate, or just sharing your story).
