I met him online at the end of February. After a few short messages and phone calls, we went on our first date a few weeks later. The conversation got very personal. I told him that I had herpes and asked if there was anything he needed to tell me about, and he assured me there was nothing.
We had intercourse for the first time shortly after. I met him for the first and only time on February 14th, after talking via text and phone for about three weeks.
When we got to my place, I felt guilty that he had come all this way, so I invited him in for tea. As I walked by him to get tea, he grabbed me, and carried me to my bedroom. I yelled at him to stop, as he pulled my pants down and forced his penis inside me. We met online on August 12th, and texted back and forth very casually. He wanted to see if we had any chemistry, so three days later we met in person.
We went back to his boat and he asked if I would stay a while. He locked the latch on the boat and led me to the bed, which was the only place to watch a movie. I told him I did not want to have sex, but I kissed him. He ripped my shorts down and his penis was inside me β it happened so fast. This happened three times throughout the evening β I had no idea how to open the boat latch to get out. I was looking for an apartment to rent. When I answered an ad for a roommate and arrived at the apartment, a man answered the door wearing nothing but underwear.
