	date rape (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Date or acquaintance rape occurs when a person is forced, against her will, to have sex and the assailant is someone she knows.
		Because this experience does not fit the traditional definition or picture of what rape is, survivors of date rape often question whether or not their experience was rape, whether or not to report it to police, and why they are feeling so traumatized.
		Date rape survivors make comments such as, "I trusted him," "I had no idea he would do something like this," and "I don't know who to trust." Because our society seems to see date rape as less ugly, less serious, than rape by a stranger, survivors may receive less support from friends and family.
