Would you consider dating someone who doesn't have a car?

I’m 25 and I’ve never owned a car. It’s never been an issue in the past because I’ve always lived in places with wonderful public transportation, places where it’s kind of moronic to own a car due to the associated high costs.

Now that I live in Orlando, FL, it’s a whole new story. I don’t really need a car because I live close enough to my work that I can just walk to the nearest work shuttle (the closest stop is about a 20-minute walk from my apartment), which will then take me to my exact stop. Granted, there are times when I could really use a car, but right now I don’t need the added expenses that come with owning one. Additionally, I may be moving again soon for a new job that will require lots of travel, and I don’t know what I would do with a car during all those times when I’m not in town (which will be more often than otherwise).

I don’t know if this is just a product of my own imagination, but I’m starting to think that not having a car is a huge hindrance when it comes to dating and relationships. For starters, I don’t believe the guy should have to do all the work, and so I’d hate to have him pick me up every time we want to go on a date. Secondly, I’ve heard people say that they would never date someone who doesn’t have a car to the point of it being on their list of turnoffs, but I don’t recall their reasoning for this.

What is your take on this? Have you dated/considered dating someone who doesn’t have a car? How did it work out? Did you mind doing all the driving?

Thank you!! :)
