I started dating a girl a few months back and she wants me to get my license, I’m fine with getting a license, that part doesn’t bother me, the problem is that driving absolutely scares the shit out of me . I usually walk or take the train when I’m by my self, but she usually insists on driving us when we’re together instead of using public transport even though i tell her i can pay for both of us. we live around a good selection of shops and restaurants and we are only a short train ride from the city. recently we had an argument about it because she wants me not only to drive her around, but also drive to places when we’re not together. i said that it freaks me out and i don’t want to, but i guess i would drive every once in a while, but I’m not driving by myself because i would rather take the train or walk
TL;DR girlfriend wants me to drive even when im not with her even though i dont want to.

I would suggest practicing driving to eventually conquer your fears – jobs will be limited as many look for someone who will drive. As someone who has dated someone who didn’t drive, it does eventually wear on the relationship. I hated being responsible for always driving or having to rely on public transportation, knowing driving would get us there faster. There were many places that we wanted to go to that weren’t very convenient so it would fall on me to drive, spend the gas money, etc or lose half the day simply travelling there. I didn’t drive for a number of years as I was afraid of it and now I can’t imagine not having the convenience of a vehicle
I’ve been the same way in the past and will never love driving. That said, it’s better to have and not need than to need and not have. Get your license.
You’re doing your future self a favor by opening up your options
Get your license!
