Are you sure the car is the reason for your failure? Could it be that you're scapegoating the car to protect your ego? We've all been on dates that went well only to be ghosted or get the "no romantic connection" line later.
Women are so fickle you simply can't judge her level of interest based on how she acts on the first date. This is particularly true of women you meet on apps. I've had women tell me that they really enjoyed my company and were looking to seeing me again only to completely vanish afterwards. I've had a woman
initiate a kiss close only to tell
text me the following day that she didn't feel there was a romantic connection (and no, I don't have bad breath). It's just how it is.
