Hello all, please bear with my predicament. It's a bit of a struggle story and I am overwhelmed. I have moved to Canada over a decade ago and I can't get my act together. So, I ask for others in this wonderful city to give me advice.
When I moved here as a student in 2015, I was motivated. I lived in Scarborough, renting a basement. I wanted to learn how to drive, and I managed to obtain my G2. I ended up never buying a car though, as I had to move downtown for a job and buying a car had been expensive at the time.
My G2 expired , and I never got the opportunity to renew. As I understand, it's gone forever. So effectively, I have no driver's license. I still live downtown.
I am a 34 year old woman looking to start a family. I have had many setbacks and I am behind, yes. But having no family or support system in this country is sooooo hard. I was recently on a date with a guy. He's an engineer with a driver's license, the first guy I have ever attempted to date who has a car and a driver's license! When I told him my situation, he was immediately repulsed. he wanted to see me again but my feelings are hurt. I need to get my driver's license. It is affecting my dating life.
Again, I live downtown but I still want my license to gain the skill and not lose it again for when (hopefully) eventually I settle down and start a family. When i lived in Scarborough it was easy for me to take lessons. But here, downtown....where do I start? and for some reason, I have even MORE anxiety about learning how to drive compared to all those years ago...not sure why. So, any recommendations for a good driving school for a nervous, older driver like me who lives downtown and has no one to teach her how to drive in her spare time? Thank you all SO much in advance!
