My date showed up on a bicycle in central London

please tell me this is a troll...

Hi,

I am trying to not be shallow here but my date literally turned up on a bicycle. It made me feel uncomfrtoable, because it gave me a feeling like he was still a boy. I am a 26 woman wanting a serious relationship. He chained up his bike and then we walked to the place we planned to go to.

I am not sure how to feel about this because he is so lovely...
I asked him if he drives, but he doesn't have a licence.

Should I see him again, I have never been in this situation before?

Please be helpful! Thank you

Your dating pool in central London is going to be remarkably shallow if this is a deal breaker for you.

I don't want to sound rude, but if him not having a car is a major turn off for you, you should leave him for his sake, it seems he deserves a better girl.

Do you have a license? I mean, if you need to drive somewhere you can drive. I do that a lot, most of my dates don't have a car, because it is a waste of time in Tel-Aviv (I guess central London is even worse) I only drive to work or at weekends. Even for work I sometimes prefer public transportation.
If me and my date want to go somewhere for a date I have no problem to drive or order a taxi (in case we are going to drink for example). I don't see why should not having a license be a major turn off.

"I don't see why should not having a license be a major turn off."

Not having a driving licence or even wanting to own a motor vehicle for personal transport can often be a warning sign of obviously incompatible lifestyle preferences and a massive turn off.

Within Britain there are quite a few people that won't drive or apply for driving licences due to ideological hostility or maintaining close links with disruptive fringe environmental activists.
Frequently including a ban on the regular driving of cars & vans, ambulances, riding motorcycles, using taxis and other private hire vehicles due to ultra-traditionalist interpretations of religion that are fiercely opposed to 'the heresy of modernism' or highly uncompromising environmental activist militants that go far beyond car-free movement ideals.

The rhetoric can be quite disturbing and accompanied by very aggressive rants describing car use along with commercial plane flights as "eco-terrorism".
A small number of the most aggressive are in the habit of attacking motor show vehicles and privately owned cars that are chelsea tractors, land rovers or perceived as "gas guzzlers".
Even tesla electric cars have been targeted.
With a few crank groups responsible claiming that "Hybrids and electric cars are fair game. "We cannot electrify our way out of the climate crisis".

Whenever I hear people talking about how hostile they are about regular car use or any aggressive rhetoric opposing car ownership, it is a turn-off.
Never mind the religious fanatics like my grandmother who proudly reject so much of the mainstream modern world as evil.
Including the telephone, electricity, secular sweets, painkillers and vaccines.
