Group dates are a good idea for the automobile impaired. Even if it's just you and another couple. While they can suck, they're often good practice, and if you don't like your date, you can just switch (has happened to me on multiple occasions.)
They're a plus because I bet most of your friends are in the same situation, and if one of them isn't, you're set. If no one is, then there's no embarassment because everyone is a pedestrian too.
It's best to wait for a car for a one-on-one date. What's the rush?
