girls... would you care?

basically my girlfriend drives and i dont. i mean its not as if she drives me around and stuff or she drives when we go out. she doesnt seem to mind that she drives and i dont but deep down inside i mind!

Should i be tho? do girls mind if their bfs cant drive when they can?

bearing in mind we both really really love each other and we're both students going to university soon..?

I wouldn't care but it can be a bit of an inconvenience sometimes, just because it's far easier to meet someone when they can drive than if they have to rely on public transport. But seeing as you're going to uni soon you won't be driving much if at all I would guess, so don't see why it should be a problem at all.

I'm younger than my bf and I can drive, but he can't. Well saying that, he's getting his test soon - but for a year I was the one doing all the driving. I don't mind at all, just sometimes it'd be nice for him to take me somewhere :smile:

I don't see why it should be a problem. For me it might get a little tedious, if he wants to go out somewhere and I don't feel up for driving ... but that's what you get for living in the middle of nowhere :biggrin:

= the inabilty to walk anywhere without getting mowed down on a lane by a tractor or speeding car >;|

But I wouldn't think it would be something to fret about.

I've not experienced this situation in a relationship, but I have to say, some of my friends can't drive and it is very rare that I am bothered by having to give them a lift. As long as they don't bug me to drive them places I am often happy to oblige. I understand that not everyone can afford to, or wants to learn to drive.

The only situation that is annoying is when I have to drive us somewhere to go out and everyone else gets merrily pissed and keeps pressuring me to drink. I absolutely refuse to touch alcohol if I am driving and to have them hassle me is irritating. Do they really want me to join in and get pissed and then jeopardise our lives on the way home? So long as you don't get her to drive and then revel in getting pissed in front of her, it shouldn't be a problem.

dont worry about it but give her lots of petrol money, by ex boyfriend expected me to take him home and pick him up with no money at all given to me which got annoying and i didnt like asking. so give her that and arrange to be dropped off as much as possile

Unless you're exploiting the fact that she has a car by using her as a taxi service, I don't see there being a problem. Probably best to reimburse her for petrol money if she's driving the both of you around regularly though.

I'm learning to drive and my bf is 23 and can't drive. It's not that major I guess although can be a bit annoying sometimes but he refuses to learn so I can't make it. I would be annoyed if he wanted me to drive him around loads though.

This thread reminds me of that film, the 40 year old virgin. I think in that film the problem is solved when the gf teaches her bf how to drive. I know this post is absolutely pointless.

I can drive (and have been for about 3 years) and my boyfriend can't, he isn't even taking lessons yet, and it doesn't bother me at all :biggrin:

None of his friends can drive either so it is annoying when I pick them all up after they've played football and cover my car in mud! :rolleyes:

I can understand the problem.. before I passed I worried my boyfriend might resent the fact he had to take me places and we couldn't do it equally. But really, I expect she's not at all bothered, unless you take advantage of her being able to drive, it shouldn;t be an issue. :smile:

i wouldnt ask a girlfriend for petrol money, nor expect it. if it was offered i wouldnt take it.

2 of my exes couldn't drive and it didn't really bother me tbh. Only times it wound me up slightly was when he'd ring up drunk asking for a lift home from town. :yy:

girls... would you care?
