Would you hold it against a guy if his car's AC wasn't working?

Question

I drive an Audi, which has had continual electric problems, the latest difficulty has been the AC. I paid $300 to have it fixed a month ago and now its on the blink again, but I recently quit my job, so I don't want to put out more money until I get a new one.

I went on a date the other night and it really wasn't even that hot outside. The girl was really put off because she tried to turn on the AC while I was driving and it obviously didn't work.

My car is really nice otherwise and everything else works well. Would you hate it if a guy picked you up in a car without A/C, if it wasn't all that hot outside (I understand if we were dressed up and going somewhere specia in hot weather, you might have issue with the lack of coolness - so to speak.

If everyone thinks I should get it fixed now instead of waiting until I get another job, please let me know.

I am really bummed out about this.

Answer 1

Heck no that's kinda funny to think there is women who would turn a guy down cause the air dont work. Pitifully

Answer 2

I wouldn't hold it against you, but I wasn't your date either....They made the windows able to roll down before a/c was available....Don't let it bother you!

Answer 3

I am in a similar situation. The yankee gal is coming up this weekend, while my roomie's on vacation in Michigan. Now...we usually keep the thermostat at 83 (we're in Texas, so 83 isn't hot). The yankee gal, living as she does about 30 minutes from Galveston (think 90 degrees at night and 90% humidity), keeps her thermostat arounf 76 or so, and has an industrial-grade ceiling fan. Blankets are mandatory year-round with her. Plus, she's about half-alergic to dogs.

Does she really expect me to put the Schnauzer outside? I think not.

Answer 4

No. If she does, she's not worth it. To be upset about such trivial things that you can't help means you'll have a lot of trouble in the future.

Answer 5

you were lucky to find out she's a diva before you got serious with her .

Answer 6

It would be very shallow of her to hold that against you.

Please  don't get yourself into financial difficulty over her! I would be annoyed that she tried turning on YOUR air conditioning without even bothering to ask first. And just the fact that you're so guilty over it shows you're way better than her and deserve much better.

Pleas don't let her bum you out!

If you're ok with waiting until you get another job, that's all that matters.

If I were your date I would've been more amused that you didn't have air conditioning and I think a lot of women would think the same thing.
