On this Unfiltered, I'm joined by an anonymous woman who lives in Dallas, Texas. She opens up about meeting someone on a dating app who she gets to know over the course of a few months. We discuss how he seemed smart, mature, trusting and put together, but she ended up finding herself in a dangerous and horrifying situation, drugged and left stranded in the middle of the street with no phone and nowhere to go in the middle of the night. We discuss dating safety tips, why it's important to have these conversations, and how she took a terrifying situaiton and used it to fuel a period of growth and self-love in her life.
