My (potential) date wants a ride

[Anonymous]

No. First in person dates are in public spaces. You don't let someone you don't know into your car.

The area he lives in isn't really walkable. I don't know how anyone could live there without a car. I understand he's brand new in town, but who'd go out on dates before even settling down?
Maybe I'm being judgy or overthinking, but this starts to feel odd to me. I don't want a stranger in my car.
Anyone has run into the same issue?

When I did OLD getting in a car with a dare or even getting close to a dates car was a hard pass. I wasn’t getting stuffed into anyone’s trunk. Getting stuffed into your own trunk sounds even more filling. A girls got to protect herself. Beware the Truck Stuffers!

Do not let this guy see your license plate number.

NO.

Also your glove box has your address in it, if that’s where you keep your registration.

He’s dusty as in a broke up messy loser! Swipe right and keep it moving

He could be your soulmate, OP.

Totally fine NOT to have a car if you live in a large urban center with public transport and difficult parking. NYC, Boston Chicago to name. But you get to dates on your own.
NOT ok to live in rural VA and don’t have a car.

If he doesn’t look just like his photos or better, drive past without stopping

There are a lot of explanations here, but all of them are bad. But at its most basic, you can get in a vehicle with a stranger. This guy is a stranger. Even Uber gives more protection than this.

I meant CANNOT!!

No, OP, just…no. He should not be asking for a favor and he should be enough of a grown up to get himself to your date. Even if he’s not a serial killer, he may be testing your boundaries as far as favors and willingness to do things for him. Just gather your self-respect and let him know it’s not going to work out. Don’t tell him why in case he’s a serial killer and changes his strategy for his next victim.

It could have been worse OP. He could have Ubered to your date and then asked for a ride home. This is a big NO too.

Your post reminded me of this.

But seriously op, when we first dated, neither DH or I had a car.

If women can ask men to pick them up, why can't men ask the same?

That being said, dating randos is a risky business.
