Do you ever, or have you ever picked up a hitch-hiker?

On my way to work today, I saw a young guy headed towards the same direction I was driving. ( He was hitch-hiking. ) I really wanted to pick him up and give him a ride, but I didn’t. Generally I always want to pick up hitch-hikers but I never actually have, I suppose it’s because of the potential risk I could be putting myself in. However, I always think that if I were in a situation where I needed to hitch-hike somewhere, I hope someone like myself would pull over and scoop me up.

So what do you think, do you want to pick them up?
Have you ever?

or have you ever hitch-hiked?
Or, is it just too dangerous ?

I feel like I’m always going to be the way I am currently.
