    Yeah, but there’d be a lot of questions regarding why they’re dating a guy in his 30s.

    I mean, why would you not do that? If you’re dating that person, you’re cheering for them, right?

    Sure I’d. I learnt how to drive at 30-31 and it was my bestie and my wife’s cousin who helped me a lot.

    I know that feeling well.

    Yes, but not in my car 😶.

    It’s not that I wouldn’t trust them, but… yeah cars are expensive.

    No, but I have some mild passenger anxiety and will not be teaching anyone how to drive. I’d be really uncomfortable even just being the fully licensed passenger while they’re practicing.

    Of course. I’d do it for my friends too.

    The woman I am with has a license but has not really used it much since she got it, so she got very out of practice. We have practiced several times in an empty parking lot but I have felt very nervous going into actual roads with her in my car. I generally trust her but I feel like it is way too easy for something bad to happen that would be a big problem.

    Absolutely not.

    It depends on how they take to instruction.  The power dynamics of some relationships don’t lend themselves to driving instruction.

    Yeah, but I don’t see myself ever dating someone who didn’t have her drivers license again. Pretty much the only people without their license around here are teenagers and I’m definitely no longer interested.
