When TikTok user @aili.likes.adventure and her friend hit a bar to have some fun by themselves, they weren't expecting their night to take a dangerous turn. Everything was okay at first, and the friends were enjoying their time, but they ran into a couple of creepy men who just didn't seem like they knew how to take no for an answer.

"I had a really scary experience with my friend last night," the woman shared on TikTok, detailing her traumatic experience. "We went out for drinks at a bar that we had never been to before. My friend was up at the bar buying our second round. This guy came up to me and asked if I wanted a drink."

Aili told the man that she and her friend had already gotten themselves drinks, so she'd have to turn down his offer. She then went to the patio, friend and drink in tow.

The TikTok user continues, "The guy and his two friends came and sat right at the table next to us. At this point, we thought nothing of it... We just continued on with our night and ended up hitting the dance floor. We were having the time of our lives until those men showed up on the dance floor." Soon, they asked the women to dance, not taking into consideration how they felt.

They refused and even told them—and everyone else who asked them to dance— that they were gay and just wanted to dance with each other, but the men kept persisting. By the end of the night, it was just the two women, in their own bubble, trying to have a good time.

Eventually, the two men from earlier showed up again and tried to "shove beers" in their hands. "They didn't say, 'We bought you these drinks,'" she shares. "They didn't say, 'Did you want to drink?' They just put them in our hands."

Her friend ended up drinking hers immediately, but just as Aili was about to take a sip, a voice in her head said, "Do not drink that."

"Instead of drinking it, I put it back in his hand and I said, 'You drink it.' He was so stunned. He literally backed away and all he could say was, 'No.'" He was so taken aback, and that's when Aili knew she and her friend had to get out of there. As they were leaving, the man followed them, forcing her to physically push him away.

In the video, an emotional Aili says, "Thank God, I'm a strong a*s b*tch. My friend went from being able to dance with me and talk to me, to stumbling around, barely able to form a sentence." Eventually, the two of them made it home safe, all thanks to the TikToker's presence of mind. If not the night could have ended completely differently. Since Aili is aware of the fact that not everyone is as lucky as she is, she wants people to share the video with as many people as possible, to raise awareness.

"So please share this with someone that you think needs to hear it," she urges. "Always, always trust your intuition. If something does not feel right, it is because it is not right."

No matter the setting, women have to always be aware of their surroundings, because of such predators.
