Is 1 hour's travel long distance?

I have been chatting to a really nice sounding man online in the town I am moving to. It's quite a small town so I have also searched in the biggest nearby cities.

He lives about an hour away from my new house both by car and public transport. Good, regular links, late trains and buses etc.

He asked me how I felt about long distance.

Is that long distance?! I think my ideas are a bit skewed as I have had several LDRs in the past (I want to avoid this again as I want a family etc), and also because I live in a really big city where an hour's travel to see a friend or date is quite unremarkable.

Would most people see an hour's travel as an issue? If I'm honest, OLD in my new town is pretty dead. Just wondering if I'm setting myself up to fail again if I meet this guy!

Good for you Withgasoliiiiine. I hope it works out for you both, if you decide he is the one for you, that is. My DH and I lived in different countries when we first got together and we've been married over 20 years now. So it can be done.

Hardly. That's a pretty standard door to door journey time in London
