Date or no date, I wouldn't "need", as in, I physically couldn't do it without someone to walk me, but it would be nice and lower the chance of something happening to me. Do you guys really not understand the potential danger here?? In work places, people are not allowed to close stores by themselves, because of potential danger to the store and potential danger to workers. Employees are required to take out trash during the daytime for the same reasons. I'm not making this up. It's a well known fact that people, especially women, being alone in the dark in public, are in danger.
You're going to let a date (basic stranger you really know nothing about) walk you to your car in the dark?
Most women these days are smart; avoid parking in precarious places and taking safety precautions when dating.
Don't get me wrong, I want to insure my date is safe throughout our date. So, Ill play the protective part
I've dated protective guys, but we're talking about a different degree of protective I think. They've all had complete confidence in my ability to handle myself, though on our third date the ex-biker I used to live with gave me a knife as a gift because he was worried about my tendency to wander through questionable areas in my ramblings. I keep it under my pillow to this day.
But I'm on the protective side myself and spent my first 30+ years being the one who "got called" whenever there was a problem back in my old life on the east coast. So I think guys like that tend to gravitate towards me because we share an outlook.
I guess I am naturally protective of all of the women in my life when I think they might be in a dangerous situation. I can't imagine knowingly choosing self interest when I could've done something to stop an assault or worse.

I grew up with a dad & brothers that were like that and to me it indicates that the guy is
thoughtful and other oriented..
I am very protective of friends and elderly and kids. By that I mean I check on elderly friends, make sure
girlfriends are inside safely if I drop them off before I drive off..that kind of thing..

You sound like my wife. She picked up an older woman that was carrying groceries home to save her the walk the other day.
What if you weren't on a date? would you need assistance every time you have to walk back to your car in the dark?
Not the point..I am trying to decide if the guy I am with is thoughful or selfish..
To take off to his car with no thought about me getting to mine spells selfish to me..
This normally a behavioir that is initially is desirable that slowly turns to an annoying one.
My dad and brother and late husband had this trait and it was wonderful..
It has to be appropriate and not possessive or controlling.
I am sure it can be done wrong..
