Don't know. I don't shit where I eat.

Is this the same, though? My passengers aren’t often people I see more than once.

They are your customers and can leave reviews (I guess - Uber/Lyft is illegal in my country). In my book it is.

I think she was polite and did not want to anger stranger being locked in a car. She could have said it’s ok to text just to get out of the car. Who knows. But unless girl will be the first to ask to text/hang out or anything - you are always in risk of getting reported.
Also, read this. Learn how it feels from the other side.

Thanks for that. Like the another reply said " don't shit where you eat"
Solo girl in a strangers car is dangerous enough as it is

I guess the jarring thing is, I have had success with girls in the past that I’ve asked out through Uber.
Gone on a handful of dates, and hooked up with a few. And the dilemma I have now is, do I draw the line because of this one incident? I’ve never been reported before for this reason.
[–]sphynxarecats 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You have to draw a line. Regardless of this accident. My advice - if you like any girl - just give her YOUR number, don’t ask for hers. Trust me, if she wants to hook up she will most definitely let you know.

You send her a text to make sure it wasn't fake? And you know where she lives? How is she NOT supposed to feel uneasy with you?
[–]vassafras 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
She said to send her a text with my name 🤷🏼♂️
[–]sphynxarecats 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
To make sure it’s your number and to block you.
[–]vassafras 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I’m gonna admit, there’s possibility to what you’re saying, but I can’t take it as gospel because you weren’t physically in the car with us.
Thank you for your opinion regardless!
[–]Lundemus 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Seriously, don't hit on girls you're giving a lift. It's an extremely scary feeling to reject a guy that you're locked in a vehicle with, and who you just gave your home address.
[–]vassafras 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Ok. Maybe I should just find a new means of meeting girls. Thank you for your input.
[–]sphynxarecats 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You are absolutely right, it’s just my opinion. I do not judge you in any way. Just consider this as option.

I’m a girl (just creeping on this subreddit and figured I could give you an opposite perspective) and a few years ago my lyft driver who was much older than me was hitting on me the whole time and he also asked for my number, using the excuse of “sending me his mixtape” to justify it. I was young and dumb and gave it to him because I wanted to be “nice”/I was a little afraid of what would happen if I didn’t give it to him. He later texted me stuff like I was beautiful, he wanted to take me out to a movie, stuff that showed that what he wanted was much more than just sending me his music or whatever. I was creeped out by the whole interaction, not only because I was only 18 at the time and he was way older, but also because he was my Lyft driver and he shouldn’t be interacting this way with his customers. I’m sure you weren’t as direct as this guy was, but the idea is still the same. I think maybe she didn’t mind flirting with you, but the fact that you asked for her number on the job might have left a bad taste in her mouth, even if it didn’t in the spur of the moment. I also agree w other people on this thread that she may have felt uneasy that you knew where she lived. There’s some people you meet that you can afford to only flirt with, and you just gotta let them go. Lyft/Uber passengers are among them.

Thank you for your insight! At the end of the day, I want to understand the situation better.
I guess letting go of stuff is still an aspect of dating I struggle with.
[–]OneRepulsiveFlamingo 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah, no problem! I totally understand, not wanting to let go of things and of people is super common, tbh I’m the same way. But in the end you live and you learn, so just take it as a learning experience!
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I’m a woman. She was scared, and cornered, and didn’t want to anger someone who now knew where she lived. What you did was sexual harassment and you should never do it again. I would have reported you as well. Creepy entitled asshole behavior, that is.
Ok, so help me please, I think you could give me some useful insight.
I did the same exact thing a few weeks ago. Gave a girl a ride, asked for her number, she obliged. We had sex at my place a few days later.
Is that also sexual harassment? I mean this question genuinely. Help me understand where I am wrong.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes, it’s still harassment. Just because a few women don’t find it creepy doesn’t mean it isn’t. The vast majority of women will feel scared and cornered if their driver, who has their life in their hands and could abduct them if they wanted to, AND knows where they live, is trying to ask them out. We don’t know you so we don’t know how you’re going to take rejection. That’s why some people give their number and then block later. They don’t want you to get angry and stab them or something. It may sound paranoid to you but a lifetime of constant harassment makes us tired and paranoid. 99% of women just want their ride home and will feel objectified and creeped out if you’re asking them out in that context of being a rider/driver. Just find another way to pick up chicks. You could 100% get fired from Lyft if enough women complain.

There is probably a youtube storytime video or a reddit post or tumblr entry about a priviliged male Lyft driver that was trying to get sexual advances and that she has reported him to Lyft and justice has been served.
all the girls cheering about her brave actions
