Is it normal that transportation is the biggest issue in dating?

I dont think that's the only issue, probably many things combined. But the thing is I would want to start dating and find a relationship, but feel I cannot do online dating because I dont own a car and would depend on my parents to drive me to the destination. So they (mainly my mother, since she lives closest) need to approve it from the very start and I dont feel certain they will. I have nothing going on with anyone in real life, most people are already taken, some I simply not like enough that I could see myself with them. And nobody shows any interest in me (that I notice). I am not meeting new people at a nearly fast enough rate either. I am a woman in my mid 20s by the way. I never had a relationship before(or sex), but at this point in life I feel I want to start, either way I know that time may run out soon since I get too old (I dont want kids, but I heard women get past their attractive age after 20s or at best after 30s). Does anyone have the same type of issue?
