Mercury:
For what it's worth, I think you did the right thing.
Lots of red flags in this situation but you were nice enough to pick up a stranger, take her to where she wanted to go and then take her home.
I would have ignored her from the git-go but then I've been around the track a few times and don't take unnecessary chances anymore, especially in this day and age when a girl like that could yell 'rape' anytime and you would be in a big mess - for nothing. I don't need that kind of excitment, thanks. Still, I have my stories too and now you have a great one to tell.
Macho/porno movie fantasies about instant sex from a stranger are great fun but the harsh reality can be grim and even dangerous. You trusted your instincts and are probably better off for that.
I look at it this way; you can't get in trouble (robbed, caught with drugs she obtained, accused of rape or getting an STD) by saying 'no thanks' to her offer of almost instant sex, being cautious during the whole scene and not going back again. You were a nice guy but not a stupid guy. Nothing wrong with that.
