What You Need To Know Before Dating A Car Guy

Dating someone who is overly attached to their car is more like dating two people. The man, and the man's car. It is a full-time job to keep up with not only your relationship but your man and his car relationship as well. In this list, I'm going to give 10 tips of advice for you to not only expect, but to experience while dating a car guy.

1. His car will always be a topic of discussion.

Conversations will normally consist of his next waxing, the newest part he plans to buy, or how clean his car happens to look that day. You will never go a day, let alone an hour uninformed about the current state of his car.

2. His money will strictly be spent on car parts or car accessories.

Don't expect fancy dates or expensive jewelry, instead expect to be the loudest car rolling through the drive-thru. The majority of his paychecks are spent on making his car faster, louder, and overall impeccable.

3. Weekends are spent washing his car.

His car not your car. You will spend every Saturday or Sunday watching him wash, wax and shine every inch of his car. If you're lucky you'll have a chance to wash your own car, but don't get your hopes up.

4. Attendance at car shows is mandatory.

No matter when the next car show is, or how far, be prepared to be there. Not only that, but be prepared to be educated on every car at every show from engines, to tires, to paint.

5. He's not opening the car door because he likes you.

He doesn't trust you to open the door yourself. He wants to be sure you don't accidentally scratch the paint, so he will insist on opening the door for you.

6. Dates are second, installing car parts are first.

The moment he orders a new car part he forgets your existence. He stares out of his window for days waiting for the package to arrive, and when it arrives he is simultaneously installing the new part.

7. Be prepared to walk.

Whether it's at the mall, or the movies, the far spot in the very back is where you will be parked every time. No risks are ever taken in public parking lots.

8. Non-car guys are a joke.

Fuel efficient? Safety? Family? But can it do a burnout?

9. If you're lucky, you'll get a chance to take it for a spin.

That's right! If you adhere to all listed above you may get a chance for a short 25 mile-per-hour only test drive!

10. You will secretly love being his passenger.

Even though he may drive you crazy, it will always feel pretty cool driving with the windows rolled down turning heads as you cruise down the street.

Even after all of those listed items, car guys are by far the best kind of guys out there. Not only do they treat their car with kindness and compassion, but they treat their girlfriends like that too. Car shows may be a must, but showing you off at them is far more important than any car there. Although you have to walk three miles to get inside a store he treasures holding your hand the whole way there. It's a different kind of relationship, but any girl in one would know it's the best kind of relationship.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
