He pulls up to get you for your first date and his car is a beater! What do you do?

[OlderAndWiser]

GIRLS: You met a cute guy who seemed to have interests similar to yours and the conversation flowed very easily. After 10 minutes, he asked for your phone number and you gladly gave it to him. A few days later, he called and asked for a dinner date. You immediately accepted and you were so excited you almost wet your pants. (Maybe not. :) :) :) ) You bought a new outfit for the occasion. When the time arrived, you were discretely looking out through the blinds on the living room window and you saw him pull up. . . in a beater! (A beater is a car that runs okay but looks so awful that if you took a baseball bat and beat it up, it could not depreciate in value!)

What did you think? Was your excitement dampened? Did you still want to go out with him?

GUYS: You met a girl who was pretty, clever, entertaining, and you were obviously attracted to her. You think you two may really be compatible. You got her phone number, called and asked for a date, and you are taking her to dinner. There's just one problem: your finances have been very tight the past few years and you are still driving the same old beater car. It runs but people sometimes turn and stare because. . . they haven't seen an AMC Gremlin on the road in a long time!

Are you concerned about how she will react? Are you worried that the first impression may not be very favorable? Would you consider borrowing a friend's car for the first date?

Bahhaah lol nice one

Reminds me of the time I had a used bear up camaro z28 iroc, 1983 I believe lol. The thing was so beat up that you'd smell gasoline in there hardcore. I even think rain used to seep in around the pedals. Maybe a hole or something lol bope

Anyways, I had to drive a girl home once cause she was too drunk. So I put her in my beat up trashed up camaro lol and lo and behold the gasoline smell was so strong that she puked all over because of it lol

She def never came back in that piece of junk lol

Good times good times

Weird how the windows look spotless but the car looks like it was towed out of the junk yard.

[OlderAndWiser]

Good eye for detail!

[EvilAngel114]

I'd still go out with and have a good time. And if we hit it off, ask for a second date. Under 2 conditions: the car must be clean inside like there can't be trash, food, fast food bags, clothes, pet hair etc all over the floor or seat. And the passenger door must open. I'm not climbing over his seat. If it doesn't open I'm driving. These 2 conditions are non negotiable and not up for discussion.

[OlderAndWiser]

:) :) :) Older women know what they want!

[EvilAngel114]

Lol I like to think so. Some things I just won't tolerate. This is one of them. Beater car or new car. These are requirements.

[EvilAngel114]

Thanks for the MHO 😊😊

[OlderAndWiser]

I realize that I called you an "older" woman earlier but I meant that only in comparison to the 14-19 tear olds on this site. There is nothing old about you!

[EvilAngel114]

I knew what you meant. A majority of the people here are 14-late 20s. So technically I'd be in the order crowd. I'm okay with that. 😉

[OlderAndWiser]

I DO like "older" women! (No, I am not "hitting" on you, as I already have a girlfriend and I am a faithful, monogamous guy. But I do appreciate women who understand what's important and who don't have hissy fits over the small stuff.

[fauchelevent]

If it looks unsafe, I'm gonna refuse to get in it. The car in that picture doesn't look safe to me. I'm dating someone without a car so clearly I don't really give a shit if someone has a car or the quality of it, but I'm not gonna get in something that looks like it's gonna fall apart and put me at risk.

[samhradh_leannan]

I don't care if a guy even has a car at all. However, I wouldn't feel comfortable getting into a car that didn't look safe. If a guy showed up in with a car in as bad shape as the ones in your pictures, I would probably suggest that we take my car instead.

[Bobbob17]

I'd rather he have a beater that runs, and that he takes care of than someone who wastes money they don't need to on a car when it would be of better use elsewhere. Money is tight these days, wasting money unnecessarily is unattractive to be honest

[Tileguy0723]

if she's any kind of decent girl and knows what real values are, the type of car he drives shouldn't make a difference. Because I'll tell you right now if any girl decides not to date me or be with me because of the car I Drive or the things I have then she's not the one for me anyway!

[MargaritaPeach]

Maybe he testing you to find out how materialistic you are. :) Maybe his mom had to borrow his car so he brought a friend's car. Who knows? Either way, I'd be along for the ride. A little rust doesn't scare me.

[apache17]

Of course i would be worried about her impression towards me. I would tell her about my beater car first before i pick her up. If she ignores me after that, then she's not for me. As simple as that.
But, looking at car's condition on your picture, i would rather ride my motorcycle instead.

[browneydgirl7]

I would think it was quirky and maybe his late relative left it to him and he just can't get rid of it! Either way I have dated guys with money and guys without! What matters is whether you have a connection and you both have goals!

[Shyy503]

Hey, if I like him , he's handsome , charming and funny then it's okay...
but we can just take my car lol

[Pac-Man]

I'd rather get a tandem bike, pull up to her, and be like: "come with me if you want to feel the burn"

[3336PS]

On my way back to the hotel room, I saw a Lamborghini parked in front of it. Among other cars that cruse up and down A1A.
I would only date a guy in one of those cars. ahhaahaa...

[Elarra]

I get in? What kind of question is this? As long as it's not like filthy dirty, who cares?

But if it's dirty then we'll take my car.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

If I saw a girl in a beater, I would hape it breaks down so I could fix it and maybe she's wanna have greasy, dirty car stuff all over our bodies sex

[Nightinggale]

If she cares then she's not the type of woman I want anyway. If she said one word about it I'm kicking her out onto the street and she can have a friend pick her up

[Cosytoasty]

If I drove a car like that, I'd seriously reconsider where my priorities lie... working and saving, or taking girls out on dates?

[BlueFire876]

I might judge him to not have much aspirations in life.

[IHateLife]

He doesn't have aspirations because he doesn't have a nice car? Maybe he just doesn't care about material things like you obviously do.

[meatballs21]

Pretty much every girl I dated, in my 30s (including my now-gf), that even had a car, drove a beater.

[FakeName123]

If its just a very old car that is all clean, etc. Sure, no biggie.

If its a dirty mess - thats a whole different story.

[Emma_Whatsun]

We can take my car because I don't wanna get Tetanus

[bloodmountain1990]

Meh I've dated girls with beater cars. I think they're more concerned about me having a car period.

[Dude_91]

maybe he is testing you... but further down the line I'm sure there would be signs if he doesn't work much or blows his cash left and right.

[lord_chilled]

I wouldn't do that. Id have one of the boys lend me a good ride.

[WalterRadio]

"a cute guy"
That is the mistake right there. Don't go for looks in a guy, go for more substantial characteristics, such as wealth.
