> [@Doctor\_Jackson](#): > > To the OP: I see women standing around on street corners in the big city. I don’t think they have a driver’s license, since they never get in a car by themselves. They always get into a car that someone else is driving, almost always a man. There is usually a short conversation first, where I presume he asks if she has a DL and, if not, would like to date. These guys seem successful in getting a date the vast majority of the time. Perhaps you could get an Uber driver to take you to one of these corners. This won’t work, will it? You might notice that these women get into cars, driven by men, who one would assume have driver’s licenses. So, presumably, there is negotiation happening between the men and the women, which in part involves establishing that the men in question have driver’s licenses. I mean, come on. Even these ladies have standards. ---

> [@Shagnasty](#): > > You may or may not eventually be a great driver but giving up on having a license is going to affect you in many more ways than just dating. **It is practically a full-fledged disability** in many places, especially California. So when he starts dating a woman, people will tell her, “[you’re such a good person for dating someone without a license.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=823326)” 😃 ---

And it’s really just the tip of the iceberg, come down to it. Suppose he finds a woman with no driver’s permit, they hook up, things go swimmingly. Then one day, it comes to light that she has, I don’t know? A vacation home? A library card? A full set of teeth? What’s he supposed to do then, pray tell? The entire dating paradigm is clearly going to be a huge minefield for this OP, I think! ---

> [@Single\_Guy](#): > > How can I meet women who don’t have driver’s licenses (I ask because I have a California ID but I can’t get my driver’s license, and a situation where a woman with a driver’s license dates a guy who doesn’t drive might seem pretty embarrassing)? Stop caring about not having a driving license when it comes to dating. I know it’s not your question, but it’s my answer. ---

Even these ladies have standards. Ah, but you mossed the most cunning part of the plan - “Perhaps you could get an Uber driver to take you to one of these corners.”. I mean, one could use a taxi or city bus for the same purpose, but classy has to be part of the equation. Uber is almost like taking a limo! She gonna be sooooo impressed! ---
