Is it wrong that i don't want to hang out with him since he doesn't own a car anymore?

I am really good friends with this guy that used to be my co worker.(i'm a female).We have deep connection on the friendship level.We have allot of things in common to we mesh well together.We don't have romantic feelings towards each other so our friendship is strictly platonic.

However, we recently got into a car crash but no one was physically hurt.His was was tootled and it wasn't drivable.He sent it to his mechanic to get fixed but they told him that it was way to de manged to be fixed and he has to get a new car.He is currently unemployed so it will take him a while to get a new car which means he is now going to use public transportation.

For some odd reason,i now don't want to hangout with him since he doesn't own a car anymore because its winter time and buses i slow.It was allot easier when he used to drive since all he had to do was come to my apartment to pick me up and it worked on my advantage.I still talk to him via text message practically every day but i am not interested to hangout with him because of this.

Is this wrong?

    It would be reasonable to decline to go somewhere on the bus when the weather was truly cold and miserable. But I think it would be wrong to completely stop "hanging out" together, if you're truly friends.

    The reality is that women are more attracted to men who have some financial resources. Your friend can be forgiven for being temporarily stuck without a job and a car, but after a while many women would give up on a guy who doesn't seem to have the ability to make a living.

    Don't get upset about all the nasty comments here. You're the one who knows all the factors involved, and it's your decision about how long to be patient with your friend.

    Obviously, you don't value your friendship with him enough to take the bus once in a while to him. I wonder what he sees in you if you also don't have transportation? That just makes me think you used him for his convenience to get to you. Why don't you take the bus once, then he take the bus the next week, etc? If I had to take a bus to see my best friend once every week or two, I'd do it in a second because she's my best friend for a reason. Even a close friend I would do this for, and even a friend I wanna hang out with once in a while I will ride a bus for. Our friendship means something to me. Why doesn't his mean something to you, over and above a little, temporary transport issue.

    And second...why don't YOU get a car? Why is it HIM that needs to have a car? Are you some feminine throwback to the 50's? If you have a job and he doesn't, you have no excuse - you can get a danged car loan.

    I'm going to be honest. Yes, this sounds very wrong. How you've explained it is like this: "He cant drive me around anymore, I'll have to drive him, so I have no interest." It sounds like the "friendship" isn't very strong from your end. Friendship works like this: If one friend is in a bind, other friends help out as they can and don't expect any payment. With my friends, it's an unspoken rule (I guess one could call it such) that if one of us has to drive another around for a while, somehow gas money is provided to support said driving. But it sounds pretty shallow for you, just because he is out of a car right now and a job (like many of us are), that you suddenly don't want to hang out with him. You might want to consider stepping back and really evaluating the friendship.. seems something is missing.

    So the "I am really good friends with this guy" line is just that, a line?

    Tell him your real feelings and then let him go to find some real friends, not someone who is just using him for his car.

    you are such a typical 21st century *****. it's not even about the emotional support the dude gives, it's all about how he can support you're stupid ******* needs. It is wrong you gold digging tramp. That guy should be glad you don't want to hang out with him anymore.

    Where's your car? It sounds to me like you are just using him if it's inconvieniant to hang out with him anymore because he doesn't have a car.

    Sounds like he is on the road to being a "LOSER"? (at this stage?) No car insurance?
