umm not sure what to call this

[KingofFaeries]

So, I met this guy on yahoo through an ad on Craigslist. About once every 4 or 5 months I post an 'I'm bored' ad on Craigslist that tells people to IM me on yahoo. Anyway, this time a guy posted that I met awhile back as a hookup, cept I didn't remember him. Apparently we watched Earthsea cuddled and did some oral. He says I wanted him to fuck me, but that's neither here nor there.

So here's the meat of the post, he's sweet, he thinks I'm sweet, he's cute, he thinks I'm cute. etc etc. We share common interests, and on paper we're a good match. Thing is sometime between the Earthsea and cuddling, and the other day when he Im'd me he got into a car wreck, broke his arm, got all scraped up, and was traumatized from the event. So now he doesn't drive because from what he tells me everytime he gets behind the wheel he has a panic attack. Well I don't drive never learned how, don't have the money to get a car, and frankly the thought of controlling a two ton vehicle freaks me out a little. So my question I guess is how could we make it work when neither of us can travel without assistance from others. Oh we live about 2-3 hours walking time away. Depends on how fast we walk.

Also I've never had a relationship last more than a week. And in the past that's been while I was in school, and they kinda had to see me. Only two of my boyfriends have ever met my parents, and both of them moved to other cities shortly after meeting them. Not to mention that 2 of my boyfriends that hadn't met my parents did the same thing. So with 4 of my boyfriends having moved to other cities, it makes me a little paranoid. I'm sure I probably poured on the love a little thick with a couple. And perhaps not enough with the others. I dunno really just wondering if people have suggestions for the first part, but if you happen to have an 'Easy Button' for relationships I'd be happy to hold it for you for a little while.

Have you heard of the transports, e.g. train, taxi or bus?

Just tell him you want to see him and he will make his time free for you, away from the assistance.

no train stops around either of us, and the bus' don't run to his area because of cap metro's issues with his city and the recently moved the bus stop I used to use further into my city making it unreasonable for me to walk to it given that it's about another hour away than he is.

I don't really know how to answer because there are many ways to get around near me. I would say if you don't drive and he won't maybe ask someone to take you halfway. You might have to pay for the gas and time but that is an option. If any other option fails I don't see any other way than walking or getting a bike. Good luck.

Bicycle? Scooter? Skateboard? Skates?

At least three of those will not only get you closer to each other, but they'll keep you fit.

Fly with the broken wings of your disgruntled hope for a valid relationship? This isn't a useful suggestion, but this is all I got.

It's time to re-evaluate your stance on driving.

Texas is a driving place. Public transportation is sparse and if you want to survive in the working world, you've got to drive. And as you are discovering, it can also be a barrier to things like relationships.

The issue seems to be moot at this point, sigh. Haven't talked to him in almost a week, and he asked for my number and all but hasn't called. /shrug ah well thanks for the suggestions.

Does anyone know where I can get a motorized scooter without needing a motorcycle license? Or if that's even legal?
