Considering hitchhiking two states north-just to see him?

Question

Look I'm in my mid twenties. The love of my life is two states away.

I have to see him. It has been 3 months. Long story how I got out here. I have no friends or family here. My family lives half way across the country. I am dying to see my soulmate. He is dying to see me. I do not have a vehicle right now, because it is states away at my dads and I am letting him use it for work, since he is real hard up right now.

My question: How with no vehicle, only a couple hundred bucks. Do I get there?

I can't take the bus or train, because there is no way that I will leave my dog behind.

I can wait no longer, I have to see my love.

What would you do? If I wait one more month,I will have my truck back and my license back and can drive up. However, it has already been nearly 4 months. I can wait no longer.

Should I hitchhike? How safe during the holidays is that-for a woman to do?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Hitch hiking is only safe for women who like to get raped or murdered.  Find another way.  Have you ever seen a movie in which the hitch hiking woman wasn't raped or murdered?  Be safe.  Between your "soul mate" and you, you could probably buy a bus ticket.

Answer 2

Um i hate to be blundt but are you out of your mind ,,,he wouldnt want your safety first ...dont do it

Answer 3

I was very young and very stupid and naive and hopefully you can get something from my most stupid thing i regret ever doing and my reason for doing it was for  getting my baby's medicine from doctor! For she was in great need and very sick!  There is absolutely no good reason! If anyting I should of walked and been smarter! I wasnt in my right mind and was stupid!

   I   tried doing it ! I tried to choose normal  looking driver! It didn't work, I was saved by a miracle! He turned onto the fry way and i noticed there were no door handles no way to open door! I prayed out loud for god to help me! The door opened  by its self and lucky it was a long on ramp, i hung myself out as far out of car tell he slowed down enough and i jumped and went sliding down those ice plants they put along hillside on ramps of fry ways! So please don't be silly use your head be smart! There are places you can find in newspapers or bus stops about sharing gas expenses with getting references and information with whom ur sharing a ride with! Or just wait when your able to ,for absents makes a heart fonder! Good things happen when you sacrifice for the right time and place!

Answer 4

Don't be an idiot!  Another month is totally worth it!!  It's hard....I know....BUT it'd be better if you waited rather than risking the chance of something happening to you and then your soul mate never getting to see you again.  Ok?

Answer 5

Goodness! Are you living on your own? Surely a woman in her mid twenties would know the risks of hitchhiking! I sure do! It's bad enough for a woman to be walking on her own in some places, nevermind hitchhiking! Why would someone want to go out of their way to pick you up unless there was another reason for it? DON'T do it. You could end up being raped, kidnapped or worse...murdered. How else could you get there? Hmm...What about the 'love of your life?' Why can't he come to see you? I'm sure he has friends or family that could drive him to see you.

Answer 6

hitch hikings never safe, just wait the extra month it will be worth it =)

Answer 7

do you live around a college town or you can place ad in newspaper offer to pay some for gas you can try around truckstops but thats kinda scarey and im a truckdriver you may have to pick bf or doggy also......

Answer 8

MY friend  was killed that way.  BE ---VERY  careful

Answer 9

Do Not Do It, Do Not Do It, Do Not Do It,

oh and another thing,,,Do Not Do It.

Greyhound is cheap. oh yea, amd another thing,,,

Do Not Do It.

Answer 10

It's never safe for a man or a woman to hitch hike!!!  Don't be stupid...wait a month.  No one has ever died from missing someone...you have phones, computer, etc to stay in touch.  Get a cam and mic so you can talk to and see him.  If this guy truly cares for you he will discourage you from risking your life to come for a visit.  WAIT UNTIL YOU CAN DRIVE THERE

Answer 11

Holy freakin' c**p dont hitchike... there are way too many loneyly freaks out there waiting for a young girl to snatch!!! I know you love him and cant wait any longer.. but if you do this you may never see him again... I'm sure he's told you not to do this... love makes fools out of the best of us (me included).

Why cant he come to see you or get you? couple hundred huh? look for airline tickets... they are cheaper when it is short notice.. they want to fill the flights. Best of luck, love!

Answer 12

just wait. it's too dangerous and in some states its illegal

Answer 13

You answered your own question...WAIT FOR A MONTH, I don't care how big your dog is.  Either wait and save your own life or take the bus....

Answer 14

Put the dog in a kennel and ride sally ride

Answer 15

Hitchhiking is NEVER safe!  What is keeping your man from going to see you?  That seems like the perfect answer to this question.  Or, you could just wait until you have your truck back.  It isn't safe to hitchhike, and if you won't leave your dog behind, then you either get your guy to come see you or you wait a month to get your truck back.

Answer 16

Why he can't come see you?

Answer 17

Nope, sorry.  These days a woman really can't safely hitchhike - even with a dog.

Answer 18

Do not hitchhike.  It's not worth it.  Take a bus or train, and find someone to keep your dog for a few days.

Answer 19

no i think you should wait the extra month, since everything will be available to you then. I went 6 months without the love of my life because of military. And there are people out there who are going 1-2 years without their love of their life, and they have kids! So yours is only minimal. You can deal the extra month. The dangers of hitchhiking arent worth it in this case. I totally understand how you want to see him really bad, but for your safety please wait.

Answer 20

i think you should not go if he wants to see you that bad to then let him come to you, as woman its not safe to do this but a man can get it done better

Answer 21

unless you want to be on the "MISSING" flyers in the mail do not hitchhike with anyone..take a greyhound or something..anyone who picks up hitchhikers has something up there sleeve if not a knife some kind of trick...just take a greyhound or some bus..please

Answer 22

Hitchhiking is not safe for anyone.    You have no control over what type weirdo offers you a ride,   you have no control over the schedule.

Leave the pet with a friend,   go Greyhound.    Or call the bus line and see if the pooch can travel in a  carrier.

Answer 23

You will be taking a tremendous risk by hitchhiking all that way. It's freezing, below freezing. How can you expect a dog to endure that? How many people will be willing to pick you up with a DOG? Stop being selfish and impetuous and simply wait another month. You are behaving like a lovesick teen. Do what's best for your poor dog and yourself and wait for your truck. Besides, hitchhiking is illegal.

Answer 24

Oh, please do not do this!  Why can he not come see you?  I would hate for anything to happen to you .. and more than likely it will.  There are articles in the paper every single day about people getting killed.  I admire your tenacity.  Your determination to see your boyfriend is amazing ... he should be proud and amazed that you are willing to go to such lengths .. but think sensibly.  If you have to see him so badly, pay a friend to take you.   Ask a co-worker.  Do not walk, do not hitchhike to put yourself in harm's way.  Nothing is worth risking your life like that.

Answer 25

Please don't hitch!  It's really, really dangerous!!  Wait a month and drive.  Really!!  Please!!  If you have to go NOW see if you can find a dog sitter and take a bus.  Also, you could send him some money and let him take a bus to see you!
