Although you can’t drive, that doesn’t automatically ruin your chances with this guy that you are romantically interested in.
He likes you for a multitude of reasons.
These are reasons that transcend your current predicament, making it much easier for him to accept that you can’t drive.
There is no need to be embarrassed.
That being said, acting as though there is something wrong with you increases the likelihood you make him feel uneasy.
Tell him in a humorous or self-deprecating way.
Getting him to laugh over the issue, makes it a non-issue to him.
It’s a good idea to give him the impression that you aren’t unhappy or insecure about yourself because you can’t drive.
Remember, telling him that you can’t drive in an effective way has a lot to do with the way you act.
Showing him that you aren’t insecure about the fact that you can’t drive and that you are happy with yourself, makes him more accepting it.
Your focus should be on what has allowed you to connect with each other up until this point.
Clearly, there has been some chemistry, otherwise you wouldn’t be where you are today with him.
Continue focusing on building this aspect of your relationship.
Let him see more of who you are and at makes you so unique.
The more he likes your character, the less likely he takes issue with the fact that you can’t drive.
When you tell him, he asks you why.
Be truthful when he does.
The last thing you should do is begin to give excuses.
When you give excuses, it is hard to stay consistent with your story.
He can tell.
If not now, he figures it out later.
This is why you should be careful so as not to ruin everything that you have built so far with this guy by giving him a fabricated story.
Just tell him the truth about why.
Should you believe the reason makes you look bad, tell him the truth anyway.
You have no idea what he regards as good or bad.
You believe that your reason makes you look bad, when in reality, he believes that it makes you look endearing.
You don’t know how he will look at it.
Assuming that the reason makes you look bad in his eyes, you tell one lie after the other that are hard to maintain.
Getting the sense that you weren’t honest with him about your reason, causes him to question what else you haven’t been honest with him about.
This puts an unnecessary strain on the relationship that leads to the end of it.
Tell the truth and let him react to it in his own way.
By being truthful, you are showing him a degree of honesty and self-assurance that makes him like you more.
