    I know there are many factors that make up a relationship, age for example as well as looks, personality, height, hygiene, style, popularity, sex appeal but other things as well that such as if a person drives or not, would that make a difference to you, would you rather date a person who has their own car and drives or someone without a license who takes the bus or would that not matter to you?

    Takes the bus, definitely. That way, when I pull up in my James Bond car with hidden rocket launchers, she'll be more impressed.

    I really honestly couldn't care less either way. In London the public transport is good enough to get from one place to the next. If they had a licence and a car, I don't think they would use it much anyway.

    Neither would change my opinion of the person.

    It wouldnt be a factor in deciding who to date but given a choice I suppose driving gives a bit more freedom so that.

    No, I just wondered if people would refuse to date somebody just because they don't drive and use public transport.

    I assumed you meant a bus driver or a bus passenger... But I'd choose the person who takes the bus because I think we should stop using personal transport and I'd prefer them to have similar views. I also wouldn't want to become reliant on them to drive me around - I'd rather be in the same position.

    I know ''compelled'' is a word but I keep forgetting what it means, haha

    What caused you to think of this question? It seems a bit random.

    I just wondered basically if somebody doesn't drive and uses public transport if it affects them relationship-wise

    It wouldn't make a difference.
    Sure, driving makes things easier in terms of being able to get to places, but why would taking the bus make you like someone less/be less likely to date them?

    Erm, I don't think I would care much either way tbh . Anyway, if we needed to drive somewhere together, I have my full licence so I could drive us . And even if I couldn't, it still doesn't matter much since there's more important things to be attracted to in a person.

    Guys will say they prefer a girl who doesn't drive; girls will say they prefer a guy who drives.

    Easy question, drive obviously, I wouldn't want my girlfriend to rely in me to drive her everywhere. And public transport isn't always practical. But that's just in my ideal world, if a girl doesn't drive it doesn't mean I won't date her. I'm not picky so I don't really care.

    Another easy question:

    Would you rather eat cow dung, or an ice cream?
