    I don’t allow anyone to approach me. Once you let them get in your space, they can take control. And please, ladies, we have to stop trying to be NICE. No one has the right to tread in your space without your permission.

    I THINK AS SOON AS YOU GOT OUT OF YOUR CAR & FELT UNSURE & UNCOMFORTABLE. YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST LEFT THE PARK & GONE BACK AT ANOTHER TIME. THAT IS THE GOLDEN RULE IN VAN LIVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE A WOMAN ALONE. God bless & be SAFE OUT THERE.

    Whenever a random person approaches me in a parking lot I always assume they want money. So recently a woman came up to me and said “Can I ask you a question?” and my default is to be polite I said “No but thank you “ and kept moving. We ladies were so conditioned to be nice and good people but we don’t owe these strangers anything. Stay safe! I really think this “Can I ask you a question “ is a way to feel people out.

      Had a similar incident a few yrs ago. Two older teens on bicycles approached me as I sat on a quiet residential side street in the driver's seat of my van after I'd pulled over to answer a call. One said "Can I ask you a question?" I said "Nope!" and drove off. Don't fall for it.
      Stay smart and safe out there.

    I had something similar happen. My husband and I were walking in a McDonalds parking lot approaching the door to go inside. A woman was already at the
    door and looked at us and said I love you. The words did not match her body language. She was smirking. We stopped walking and the only thing I could think to do was to respond:That is a lovely thing to hear first thing in the morning. Thank you so much. I could tell it sorta took her off guard and she went on inside and we followed behind her. I don’t know her intentions but I truly believe they were not honorable.

    Years ago in downtown my husband was driving. We were at a stop light and a woman rushed up banging on his window. My husband thought she needed help and started to roll down his window.

I felt so sorry for her and prayed that she would find help.

      Assuming most days she is taking Marley to the park in the morning or early afternoon they are not going to be a lot of “families“ in the park at that time of day so I don’t think families or no families is an issue. I agree a populated park would be preferable. However, a park populated with either yes maybe a few stay at home moms with the stroller and a friend or what you see more of which is people taking their breaks at the park… so maybe eating lunch whatever… Lots of people running… whatever the deal may be, it needs to be realistic for she and Marley‘s schedule.

    I am so glad you asked. I live in a tourist town which seems to attract these types. The second they ask about my religious beliefs, I say "Praise the Lord! I am going to pray for you" and then I proceed to start praying for this person as loudly as I can as I ready my car for departure. I do not stop moving, if I am out of prayer inspirations I will start singing. "Holy Holy Holy" or my favorite "Are You Washed in the Blood of the Lamb". But really any old time hymn works really well. And then I drive away.

      They also say “the Holy Spirit told me” and it’s something about you or your life or your heart.

      I’m saved by the shed blood of Jesus as the propitiation for my sins, and I know I’ll spend eternity with God in Heaven. Not because I’ve done anything of myself to deserve it, but because Jesus Christ paid the full price for my redemption.

    Hey, Lindy and Marley. I vividly recognize that behavior from multiple incidents, sometimes with people I know, even in situations where they were helping me. The only solution is to listen to your senses, disengage (stop talking and being nice) and get the heck out and as far away as you can, as quickly as possible. Safety is Job #1. For an extra boost, you can also use "God help, God thanks" or mentally call on your favorite angel or deceased loved one while you're getting yourself to safety. I've used all three successfully in these situations. Much love to you and Marley. 💖

    Im so happy you're safe! I'm a Christian and I have approached people to talk to them about God and Jesus because I felt like the Holy Spirit was compelling me to do so however, I have had some of those people be very receptive to me and want to talk to me and they've actually gotten saved. I've also had people tell me that they were already saved like you did this lady and I simply said praise God nice to meet you, brother or sister, and have a blessed day and moved on with my business. And on the flipside, I've also had people say I am not interested and I simply say OK have a blessed day and I walk away from that as well. This lady was not acting in a biblical sense by being so pushy. Yes, as Christians we are to love everybody, but not to shove it in peoples faces and act so creepy about it and the process if this is how she's approaching nonbelievers I don't see how they could ever become believers about Christianity that's simply not the way that we're supposed to conduct ourselves.❤❤❤❤

WHY, would you stand there and continue talking to her if you thought she was mentally unstable??? If you felt uncomfortable because she was the only other car in the parking lot, that's a good indication not to get out of your car. Use your instincts and don't put yourself in percarious situations. I am so glad you were not physically attacked.

    If I got the gut feeling like you did in the beginning I would have been on my guard like you, and I would have done the same thing as you, she was invading your space and you asked her several times to leave you alone, I would have left the park also. Glad you and Marley are ok.

    Although I don’t live in a van I have seen a bunch of videos. They all say if they get in a situation where they feel wary they immediately leave the situation and go somewhere else. In each story they said that it saved them from problems or maybe even ending up dead.There’s a lot of wonderful people in the world however there are also a lot of people on drugs and mentally ill.And though not all of them would attack you some might so if you get a bad feeling please drive away.Wishing you the very best😊

    Ugh, creeeeepy!!😳 Sounds like that woman needs an exorcist.😂😅
    That is very scary and idk but always follow that intuition… that's your Guardian Angel trying to help.❤
    She just sounds mentally unstable… I'm glad you & Marley made it out of there safe. That makes me wanna make sure I'm always carrying somethin for protection like a can of Rave hairspray or somethin just in case… 🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂 Get ya a mini can of aerosal hairspray at Walmart to keep in your pocket to spray the attacker's eyes. Or bearspray, but bearspray is kinda expensive. Idk… everybody seems to be goin bonkers lately.😅

    Lindy, you are one smart cookie! I know this would have ended badly. Possibly very badly. I feel like, after proclaiming her love for you, a request for money would come next. Then maybe she would have asked for a ride somewhere. And *poof*, now this nutcase is in your vehicle!! No telling what would have happened. So, thank heavens that God gave you a very good brain and fast woman's intuition!!

    When I was a teenager my father told me that if I felt something wasn't right about a situation I should leave. So if I felt something strange about the other vehicle I would leave immediately and go elsewhere. Stay safe 🌟

    Did I tell you I love you. lol
    Yes, a very uncomfortable situation.
    We need to know our surrounding, whether it is a city or in the country.
    You know what you are doing, just by your feelings you had for the car from the beginning.
    Be safe.

    I am so sorry that happened to you. That woman obviously had mental health issues and you were right to head to safety. If you don’t already have some kind of protection, at least get pepper spray or something else small that you can keep on your key chain or in your pocket.
    Blessings to you💗

    Lindy, that happened to me only one time. One time is enough for me. Lesson learned. Please choose an area where are people besides you. If you can’t, stay in your van, always be vigilant and make a habit as checking your windows and doors and locked. Please be fast in taking off as soon as you can. Again be vigilant on people that can destroy your van especially that are more than one person to trap you not to drive off. When that incident happened to me, I am always armed with several firearms, bear spray and I also always practice and mastered Archery as part of my protections as I traveled.

    This is not a funny situation but you made me laugh about six times the way you told it 😂. My daughter says she can’t go anywhere with me without crazy people coming to talk to me lol. It’s true I attract some very different people and I almost always talk to them UNLESS I get that feeling like you did. We need to listen to our intuition. I think you did the right thing. I never would have thought of the things to say that you did. I’ll bet she remembers you for a long time lol.

    I tell you what Lindy, if I had seen you out and about I might also have said "I love you!" But never in that way!! I am a subscriber and have been for awhile, and just having seen your interview with Bob Wells, and I 100% agree with him... why do I like your channel? Because of YOU! You make these videos to talk to us, and we come here to VOLUNTARILY listen to YOU! I never would have done as that lady did and try to force myself upon you. You are RIGHT to trust your intuition. Even before she opened her mouth you knew she was "bad news" (so very different from trying to tell you about the "good news"). You did the right thing in trying to get away. Everything you said to her was fine. I want to thank you for your messages to us! Thank you!

    I would have left as soon as she started walking towards me especially after telling her that you've been saved and she keeps saying she loves you. Super creepy..... Especially in the now of predators all over the damn place.
    You did the right thing by leaving.
    You never know what these people are going to do... she could have tried to rob you or something. Glad you and your dog are okay ❤️
