a number of reasons..\nbecause the girls are out looking for a good time with guys in perhapes the wrong places--ie the bar or disco or late night parties\nbecause guys are  "lacing" drinks with drugs quite easily \nbecause the media portrays "a good time" for young people  as" having sex"\nand uncool to go without it \nbecause girls dont think their safety is their priority anymore and if parents try to warn them they react by going all out with guys giving them the opportunity they are looking for\nbecause the "safety antena" of girls arent as sensitive as they should be to keep them from becoming a victim\n\nthus date rape is a consequence of all these factors. \nso girls need to take care, be aware of your own safety dont give "strange" guys the upperhand if you dont want to be date raped..
