There's another perspective to what happened to your friend. First impressions are usually fairly accurate, especially when the "creep" or "dangerous" alarms go off. When I was teaching martial arts I told my students that if something doesn't feel right about a situation, it nearly ALWAYS means there's something not right. I think your friend acted wisely. She may kick herself now, but that's from the safety of her arm chair with the luxury of rose-tinted 20/20 hindsight. Something about that guy set off her alarm bells, and it's /very/ good that she listened to them.
