A prostitute asked to walk with me. why?
Some time ago, I was coming home from collage at night and had to walk several blocks from the bus stop. A woman dressed in what I would describe as a slightly sexier version of office attire asked to walk with me, supposedly for safety. She indicated, without quite using the word, that she was a prostitute. After a few blocks we came to a payphone and she stopped to make a call, so I went on home.
I was left somewhat confused by the whole thing. She seemed like she really was nervous, but she didn't thank me or anything when we reached her destination. So what was that all about? Was she just worried, as many women would be, about walking alone at night? Was she afraid of being spotted by the police and thought another person would provide camouflage? (I didn't think she was that obvious.) Or was it all a routine to get me to hire her? Or, and this only occurred to me just now, could it have been a sting operation?
