Would you date someone who doesn't have a car/cant drive? Why or why not?

Question

For starters, im single dammit *eye roll* lol i wanna be happy because i knew i deserved better, but im mad at myself because i still love him but know its 100% over now. I ruined us for good. I was strong and broke up with him that afternoon after getting fed up. Then that night we talked, he played dumb and asked if i recalled what happened earlier. So i played dumb in return and pretended as if we never broke up. He got pissed and i turned all “delusional” and kept telling him he was still my boyfriend. I stooped to his level and had a very childish moment. But whatever, he's done with me now so its for the best. My friends tagteamed me and lectured me for getting weak all of a sudden and going out with a bang as the “crazy” girlfriend. Smh. But anyways today im feeling ok. They also told me how no guy these days will want a girl who doesn't have a car/not trying to learn to drive. So theyre prob right but i just wanted to ask y'all. I mean my boyfriend and guys before him didn't have a car but i still wanted and loved them. So it kinda sucks that guys these days apparently may not want me. #FeelFreeToList #DudeWheresMyCar

Unless you live somewhere that has great public transit, or have a medical condition the precludes you from driving. I'd say they need to drive. It's too much work to be the only driver in a family. My exwife didn't drive, so I'd goto college, on my way home I'd run errands, take her to work, then goto work myself, head home, then pick her up, maybe run another errand. And days off we're me driving all over running errands. If we needed to go do laundry at the laundromat, guess who did it. Groceries? Me again. Pick her sister up? Me. Fuck that, never doing it again.

I'd date & have dated someone who doesn't have a car or knw how to drive as long as getting one & learning how to drive is one of their near future goals

Where I am there is NO public transportation I stay in a VERY rual (country) area so if you don't have a car or live near where you work your dead in the water (so not having a car would be rough but as long as tht is something they want for themselves in the future then sure) but they don't want to learn how to drive ever then I don't think I could shoulder that

I don't know how to drive so I feel like I'd be a hypocrite if I said I didn't wanna date someone because they couldn't drive or didn't have a car. I live in the city and take the bus everywhere so it's not really necessary for me to drive. Plus i don't see well so i don't feel i would pass the vision test to even get a license lol. I wouldn't mind if a guy didn't drive. We'd just have to Lyft or Uber everywhere.

Cars are material things. Possessions. They mean sod all in a relationship. Abilities, like driving, and somewhat the same.

All that matters is being loving and caring. ANy guy that cannot be that is not worth considering a s even a casual date, let alone a life long partner.

Logorithim · Answer

I don't currently have a car, but have had a girlfriend who didn't have one when I did, so I am OK with it.

Pinay_ako · Answer

Hell yes. A car is a car. I am dating a human, not a transformer.

PrincessGrail · Answer

I’m sorry Des. I would date a guy who didn’t have a car.

whatsgoingonwithme · Answer

I don't get the back story between all this.
But I would date someone who didn't have a car but knows how to drive. Only cause driving is my passion. I love driving whether its a 4 wheeler or a car. I love the adrenaline that you feel when you drive on a clear road going fast. Because I love it, I want my SO to have the same interest as me. Otherwise people will just think I'm some crazy person that cuts lines and going so fast for no reason. It's not like that, being in the car behind the wheel. I love it. That's why on my bucket list, I have to drive a supercar.

I dont drive myself YET, I took my test last year but due to certain events where a close friend i class as family was struggling with his health, he decided to end it and messaged me the morning of my test... telling me of his intent, it just was bad timing as it was the morning of my test and I failed on silly things because the driving was not my priority that day...
then my own health has been up and down (mostly down) so i stayed away from even attempting to learn until i got it sorted... I have owned a 125cc motorcycle and have driven manual and automatic cars.. i do seem to have issues with the clutch due to my left leg (as it it is that one i need here in the UK) but hopeful i will be driving this year :)

Udbhav_Bantwal · Answer

Yeah, I would I personally don't know anyone who would break it off with someone or wouldn't date someone if they didn't have a car or didn't know how to drive, it shouldn't really matter and it doesn't to me. I'm glad to hear that you finally broke up with him though, I know it's tough, especially since you feel you still love him so everytime you think of him, associate that with a bad memory of him or something that he did that hurt you and that might help you get over him and of course the main thing about getting over someone is no contact with him.
I'm sure you'll be fine, guys won't care if you don't have a car and if they do then it's a good thing cause then you'll know that they're not good enough for you if they'll only be with you for a car...

TripleAce · Answer

Damn no way lol no way. Can’t believe this

Well it depends really. If you live in the city It’s not that important. But if you live in an area where just getting to the convenient store is a challenge cause it’s far then yes she should have one for herself even
Otherwise she can never just be like hey I’m coming over
No it’s always going to be hey can you come pick me up lol

princessfromjupiter · Answer

I couldn't care less about that living in a big city with all sorts of public transport where a car would actually be more of a hassle than a bonus.
I do have a drivers license and am a pretty good driver but I only ever drive when I really have to (i. e. when I'm home on the country side)

BananaGrey · Answer

Yes,, I would... It would be quite hypocritical for most to say no, knowing they'd be crushed if
someone rejected them on the
basis of not having money or
material means. But the shift
in balance is more guys would
date a girl without a car but we
can't say the same for most girls.

alice55 · Answer

I wouldn't date someone who doesn't have a car and can't drive my reasons is because I live in the countryside so if you have no car you can't have a job neither can buy bread.
Too it would annoy me having to drive him around all the time, it wouldn't be fair for me to pay everything.

Anpu23 · Answer

In most big cities there really is no need to own a car. They are expensive and getting around isn't difficult without one. I wouldn't see the big deal as long as you are mobile and able to get around on your own. It would only be an issue if she continuously used me to be her chauffeur.

PeteSensations · Answer

Well I don't think there are any 'real' reasons to not date a girl/guy that does not own a car, the only thing is that it is much easier to have one.

So if I am dating a girl that constantly needs to be picked up/dropped off and isn't mobile herself, it would annoy me I'm sure.

Not at first, but surely after a while.

DDpsy · Answer

I have a vision problem that stopped me from getting a car. I see well otherwise and could probably get a license if I go trough a bunch hoops but I have been terrified at the possibility of hurting people due to eyesight. At the moment I am kind of resigned to waiting for self driving cars.

It sucks a lot when It comes to dating though.

AlexEfron · Answer

😕 sad news.
Nah.. I don't mind if someone doesn't have a car. There's no reason for me to want a girl with a car - I want the girl not her car 😂.
Besides, I don't have a car of my own.
1. I can't afford one right now
2. I'm too lazy to go and get a driving licence 🤣
3. Even if I buy a car and get a licence, I don't have the means to maintain it.
So yeah... I'm not buying one until I know that I can maintain it

xTom98 · Answer

I have plenty of cars and if she can’t drive it won’t be a big deal to me, only thing I’d mind is if she’s scared of car rides (cars are my hobby after all)

melanieeeB · Answer

To your question, yes I would And also I'm sorry that you're heart broken! I really wish for you that you get over this and finally get what you want and deserve!

BeMuse · Answer

Maybe… Where I live now you sort of need to have one to live. If I lived in a more walkable city with good public transit and she could run her own life without a car and didn’t want me to taxi her around everywhere then I wouldn’t care.

hahahmm · Answer

Nope. She would be too dependent on me like a child. Some guys like that but I don’t. Do yourself a favor and get a car because you’ll have more freedom.

Jjpayne · Answer

Yes, course! If only that was my only limitation... I would have been dating a long time ago!! But I would want to show a girl how to drive, because it is an important skill to have

Pink2000 · Answer

Girl I don’t have a car either. I have a license but no car. I never had a problem getting a boyfriend. A man will still date you. That’d be stupid to not date someone if they don’t have a car. Especially if they don’t know your circumstances.
