Yep. You mean you'd buy a car without driving it first?
That's sad. I'm not that type. I would NEVER live with a man. You men have it too easy with the modern liberated womyn.
I pity the woman who considers you for a husband. You are a pig. (and I hereby apoligize to the pigs.)
If I were to depend on my future/potential spouse only to get me to and from where I want to go, without breaking down, then maybe.
But since, in my humble "o," a future spouse would mean much more to me, than a "test drive", I would opt for a longer courtship to determine him (or her, if that's the case) worthy, if there were any question.
Sound old fashioned? Maybe. Just don't want to be another statistic.

A woman, a man and a relationship are not at all like an automotive transaction. The relaionship is precious and emotions run deep. Your method develops calloused emotions and broken hearts.
This reminds me of a conversation I had with my son about the word "love."
Unfortunately, in the English language the word "love has a number of divergent meanings.
love = "like to consume" (I love hamburgers.)
love = "enjoy owning" (I love my new T-shirt)
love = "get a bang out of using" (I love this video game)
love = "feel powerful when I do this" (I love driving fast)
The problem is, these are all, every one of them, misplaced when you are talking about a person. A Person does not want to be consumed, owned, used, or accessed as a thing that makes YOU feel powerful.
A person wants to accept and be accepted, cherish and be cherished, trust and be trusted.
A woman in love wants to give herself unreservedly, and receive you unreservedly.
A tentative, test-drive, probationary attitude is perfectly appropriate for a commercial transaction. But it is corrosive to sexual peace and trust between a man and a woman.
