Mumsnet Talk

Help me out here, with a dilemma I've had a few times over the years.

Imagine you're me, i.e. Bloke, 6 foot, well built, and born with a face that apparently screams 'sex offender'.*

You're waling along a road at night, when you notice a woman walking alone it ahead of you, on her own.

Do you:

a) Hang back and possibly make her think she's being followed.

b) Speed up and pass her, and possibly make her think she's being chased.

c) Cross the road to avoid her

Generally I've gone with c, but would appreciate if anyone knows the 'right' answer to this one...
