Believe says,

This is probably a very good sign.

Sagacious says,

If I'm walking behind a woman at night-time, I'll either cough loudly so she knows I'm there or cross the road.

Good thinking,Sag.

Wench says,

I try not to assume every guy who happens to be out on a quiet night is harmful, especially because it means that I'm out on a quiet night, too. Tonight I was out on a quiet night buying baby cough medicine. No reason at all why a guy couldn't be doing something as non-rapistlike as that too.

On the other hand, I do always try to keep my wits about me and be aware of my surroundings. It's sad that so many women have been attacked that it's pretty much a natural instinct to look at men in a scenario like this and wonder.
