Speaking from experience? How'd it go?
Great because of the implication.
My dumbass did this with my wife on our second date. Agreed to meet at an historical nature trail in town. She's so damned late it's dark when she pulls up. For background, she's from Manila, total city girl, but I assumed people like her grew up in the jungle or something.

"Are there any bears in there?"
"Well, there could be one, but almost certainly not, we're in the city. Besides, they run from people."
<whipping her head side to side>
"It's OK. I have a gun if I really need to scare something off."
<vigorously whipping her head side to side>
"OK, let's find something else to do."
Yes, I'm that dumb.
She still won't go on the local trails at night. Tried to meet me as I was coming out. Had almost got to her and she texted she was leaving because an animal crossed the trail.
