I personally think that having a car is important, if only for the reason that you have to actually be able to see each other! If you live in NYC or some other huge metropolitan area, it's probably not an issue, but in the majority of places not having a car = not going anywhere. I stopped dating two women who didn't have cars, because it was just such a hassle to actually do anything with them - plans were dictated more by bus/train schedules and stops rather than by activities we actually wanted to do.


You can't have liked them that much then. My sister used to live a 2 hour train journey from her boyfriend and would travel up on the friday evening and stay with him over the weekend and get the train back. They both had cars, but it would have been a longer journey by car.


Exactly, women have travelled hours for me and even got on planes to meet me, if someone likes you enough, the car isn't an issue.

In any case, you could say you are saving on a car to pay to further your education or saving to invest so you can have financial freedom.


The idea of a woman getting on plane to meet me scares the hell out of me:
- I would be 1000x more nervous than I would normally be for a first meetup with a girl who came all the way from a nearby place, imagine that you didn't like her, or worse imagine the awkwardness if you could seen the disappointment in her eyes upon seeing/meeting you for real. Imagine how it would feel if she pretended enjoyig the meetup and stopped contact with you after she returned to her country.
- I would be suspicious of her real intentions, especially if she's not happy living in her country; she might be desperate to get out or to change her life.


I did get such suggestions from women, and I've dodged the idea and called it unrealistic/crazy.
