So my boyfriend has decided to buy me driving lessons for christmas. He's really excited about the idea. I, on the other hand, not so much. Partly as it's not exactly the kind of gift you imagine getting from your boyfriend your first christmas together but also 'coz I'm really not bothered about the whole driving thing. He's said he'll buy me something else too but I'm still hesitant as I don't want him to waste his money on something I'm not going to take full advantage of.
I'm nearly 21 & I have never driven. I've only ever sat behind the wheel of car twice. And that after much badgering. I was never one of those teens who looked forward to turning 17 & taking driving lessons. I always figured I'd learn eventually, it just wasn't a major priority for me. Now, three & a half years later, I'm still at that point. I don't feel my life is hindered by my lack of car skills so what's the rush? The boyf says if I don't do it now, while I'm young, I'll regret it when I'm older but even so. I also don't see the point of putting in all that time & effort to get a license to do something that I actually won't be able to do for at least another year as there's no way I'm going to be able to afford a car.
But I suppose if he's set his mind on the idea then I may just have to suck it up. Besides, it'll be nice to have some leverage over him & the guilt may buy me a few more pretty things. Every cloud eh?
