I always drive, and nearly all women seem to prefer that. I can't imagine a likely scenario where I'm going to leave her somewhere, but I CAN see a situation where we needed to leave suddenly.
Plus, my car is extremely well maintained, reliable, and I have emergency gear in the trunk. I've been in a lot of women's cars that hadn't had an oil change in 20,000 miles, had bald tires, bad brakes, or the Check Engine light was on. Cars just aren't a high priority for many women, and that's a safety problem.
For me, either I drive my own car or we agree to meet somewhere. I will never allow myself to be in any situation where I can't get up, walk out and drive away at a moment's notice.
I think it’s sweet when a guy offers to drive. But I may also be biased due to being legally blind and therefore unable to drive myself.
It doesn’t matter

I think one should volunteer to drive.
I don’t care, but I’d probably drive since I don’t want her thinking I’m lazy, not taking the initiative, or not masculine. I feel like if I tell her if she wants to drive, it’s the same thing as asking her where she wants to go for the date. My belief is that women want a man to lead, plan ahead, and take the initiative.
The first 2 dates of relationships it is probably both of us driving our own vehicles. Just makes sense because it enables either person to leave if needed. Beyond that it does not matter. However, if in doubt I offer to pick her up and respect her response.
I think it depends on how good the first date went no? To my mind, if we're hooking up for a second date then trust isn't as much an issue so I'd leave it to the other's prefference.
I might tease that she promise to bring me home if the date goes sour.
I drive for a living so being a passenger is a treat for me!
I don't think there's anything wrong with either way. But for the first dates I would assume both would want to drive themselves there and back, unless one of them didn't have a car.
Personally I hate being driven anywhere by someone else. I don't like my ability to leave being reliant on other people.
I never suggested picking her up unless she suggests hanging out back at her place. But if that comes up I think it comes off as being more in control if the male drives. Obviously it's different if the guy is younger and not of age to drive or doesn't have a car
If he asked, it would be good to know the reason for the request and finding the context of the request. I wouldn't drive now because my eye is under treatment with a photosensitizing drug: If I drove in the sun, we'd probably crash since- basically- I'd be blinded.
On all of my first dates we met each other at the location we were going to hang out.. Typically walking every where on the first date, second date I volunteered to pick. Her up.
I didn't know u are so kind , well about that its only me but i would love a girl to drive specialy if she is a good driver it turns me on maybe is just me I don't know
In todays day and age, with so ma y women getting date raped or lured into sex trafficking... Unless its someone you already know well... I think the woman is better off to have her own wheels and meet the guy somewhere public.
I will not let a guy drive me if i dont know him well. So id prefer to drive myself but when/if we get closer id like if he drives cause its hot
Depends if you feel like driving or not? It's a good way to test and see if the person is a safe driver or reckless driver. Everybody drives different.
The guy drivers..
Not because men are better driver or other bullshit..
But because the Girl spend the 10 times the time getting ready as compared to the guy..
And trust me.. She wants to stay 100% perfect for the date..
I think it does. When a guy drives a girl on a date, it’s like subconsciously telling the girl that he can take care of her.
If I dont know you , I'm not getting in your car , and your not getting in mine either..
I am not driving for I sold my car. I dislike driving and I especially dislike taking care of an ever broken thing like a car.
It really doesn't matter to me whether I drive or he drives.
shouldn't make a difference in my opinion, but since I enjoy driving Id love to do it :D
I prefer to drive no matter who I am with. I often don't like how other people drive and I can't relax.
Don't think it matters. I think if there was a specific person who planned the date then they should drive
