Larryville Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 is anything beyond 40 miles considered long distance? If I was dating.....half an hour's drive. Unless they lived at the beach or snow and were ok with sleepovers - in which case I could probably be persuaded to travel further. (How horny I am) + (Quality of Sex) + (Attractiveness) 40 miles in some places could be a 45 minute drive. In a big city, driving 10 miles could take an hour. I consider travel time not miles. I'd go an hour. Anything longer than that is too far. The last quote is definitely a more important factor. I live in Kansas a 40 mile or 40 minute drive for me is an easy and generally relaxing drive. If you live in Los Angeles, SF Bay Area, DC area, Atlanta or in the NE a 40 min/mile drive could be a pain in the ass. The other factors are how busy are your schedules? I’ve lived in the same small city with many I have dated but because of kid, work, extracurricular issues. Some you date you would generally only see them on weekends (sleepover factor) unless you were willing and able to sacrifice a weekday evening and meet halfway when or how often you were able to see someone factored in as well. This is why the lifestyle of the person you date factors in. If you are dating someone who is broke, does not, drive who does not have a car or whatever and are not willing or able to travel to see you makes a huge difference. The average cost of operating a car is what $10,000 a year. If I am traveling to see someone she better damn well be worth the time and drive costs. 2
Author UltimatePanacea Posted March 4, 2016 Author Posted March 4, 2016 I guess there is also the option of meeting halfway during the weekday then on the weekends get together and have sleepovers
thecrucible Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 All the guys I like on online dating live about 2 hours away in the nearest large city. Sadly for me, many of those guys aren't interested in someone living that far away from them. There aren't many people in my area on online dating sites. I feel like I have to move, and I hope it will be soon, to an area with more potential dates.

road Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 But you don't drive... A man with not many options + he finds her attractive + she is willing to go out with said man + did I mention that he really finds her attractive - equals - A man motivated to make things happen 1
mrldii Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Me, personally, max 30 minutes' driving time. In my personal experience, anything longer than 30 minutes leaves too much room *to hide bodies*. 2
phineas Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 How far are you willing to drive for a date/to see someone you're interested in...is anything beyond 40 miles considered long distance? Half way. If she don't want to meet halfway then she isn't interested and if she is resistant to meeting halfway she will most likely flake.
loveweary11 Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 No - I had him put down recently. His ashes are in the wardrobe. I drive my car. Yikes. Bummer.
Popsicle Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Me, personally, max 30 minutes' driving time. In my personal experience, anything longer than 30 minutes leaves too much room *to hide bodies*. Yes, 30 mins max for me too. ...which is partly why I will be moving to a bigger city. 1
Bobbi7 Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 30 minutes. I'm a lady, the guy should at least meet me halfway.
Author UltimatePanacea Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 I think if you're really attracted to someone 40-50 miles is not impossible to make work, especially if there's a possibility to meet halfway, take public transportation or just drive...though at some point of the relationship one has to move...
road Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 30 minutes. I'm a lady, the guy should at least meet me halfway. Man not willing to drive all the way is not worth the woman he is driving to. Also a possible indication of how much he is into the woman and definitely a man that wants to keep score in a relationship which is not the type of man a woman should want to date.
