I wasn't particularly into dating sites or anything. Originally, I was just working part-time at a regular restaurant and became close friends with a particular group there. I'm small in stature, but I handled physical tasks just like everyone else. There were only two other girls working with me, but we all got along well and even hung out together outside of work. One day, this close-knit group decided to go out for drinks. After our shift ended, we all headed to the house of one of the guys since he lived nearby. We started drinking and having fun, but since I have a low tolerance for alcohol, I moved to the adjacent room and passed out. A few hours later, I woke up and heard voices still chatting. As I half-consciously listened, I caught snippets like, "This kind of thing turns you on, right?" and "What should we do if she wakes up?" I thought it was just a prank from the others who had gone to sleep, but my awareness began fading again. When I regained consciousness, my hands were pinned down and someone was touching my lower body. From the next room, I could hear the other girl moaning. Later, I found out she had woken up and willingly had sex with a guy she liked. The rest, left frustrated, had turned their attention to me. I was too scared to resist and ended up being completely taken advantage of. The next day, the guys apologized, saying "Sorry about yesterday," but acted like nothing serious had happened. They seemed to think I was just in a bad mood, and kept checking on me, helping me with work tasks. But after that incident, my mood plummeted. I started skipping work without notice and eventually quit altogether. I didn't tell anyone about it because I was afraid it would blow up into something huge. Instead, I started researching online and came across a dating site. At first, I assumed it was full of perverts just looking for sex, but the first older man I met genuinely listened to me, offered emotional support, and made me feel truly comfortable. I realized not everyone was bad. As I was leaving, he even gave me some spending money and gently said, "Maybe you don't need to work part-time anymore?" That moment stayed with me. Sure, I've met some weird guys occasionally, but I've come to feel this is my place, my sanctuary. Now, whenever I'm free, I spend my time with these older men.
