Although you aren’t proud of your old car, its age isn’t a turn-off to guys who are interested in you.

He is far more concerned about your physical beauty and fitness than he does your old car when he is considering whether he wants to court you.

Despite the fact that guys in general have a love of cars, and by extension, what they drive, there isn’t an expectation that the woman they date has the same passion.

He knows that girls and guys have interests that are similar and dissimilar.

Some similar interests usually include a love of music, art, travel, theater, etc.

Whereas dissimilar interests, where male interests traditionally misalign with those of women, are usually in their passion for the stock market, sports, tech gadgets, cars, etc.

Men are fully aware of these differences.

He has observed this misalignment in interests in his ex-girlfriends, as well as those of his friends and family members.

Years of experience have taught him that a car’s age and condition aren’t of great importance to most women.

As long as it starts and gets her to the destination she needs it to get to, she doesn’t care all that much about how old it is or what brand of engine it has or its horsepower.

Those are areas guys pay attention to, not her.

And she doesn’t have to.

When he meets you on a first date, his first thought has nothing to do with how old your car is.

Your car isn’t even a thought in his mind, whether it be its age or anything else about it.

He is far more concerned about your physical appearance and whether there will be chemistry on this first date.

As you talk to each other during the course of the first date, any physical discomfort he exhibits has nothing to do with you having just mentioned that you have an old car either.

He is just nervous.

First date jitters, so to speak.

He was already nervous to begin with, long before you mentioned that you drive an old car.

Unfortunately, since you are so self-conscious and embarrassed about how old your car is, you are going to be tempted to stop him from walking you to your car at the end of the date.

All you can think of at that moment is him seeing your old car in the parking lot of the restaurant you met him at for the first date, with all of its rust and peeling paint.

The temptation to stop him from walking you to such a car shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Turning him down could make him think that you didn’t find a spark with him during the date and don’t want to see him again.

This is despite the fact that you did have fun and would love to see him again.

The last thing you want is to discourage him from asking you out on a date in the near future by giving him the impression that you didn’t have fun on the first.

Take comfort in the knowledge that guys absolutely don’t care about the car a girl drives and how old it is.

In the early stages of courting you, his primary concern is that he is physically attracted to you and there is compatibility.
