OLD distance

[Herdigerdi]

How far would you travel to meet someone off an app or site even if you video called the person you planned on meeting?

Me personally I don't want a long distance relationship and anything more than 30 miles away is just too far especially when you take into account day to day living. I'm also not someone who enjoys communicating via text or phone calls unless for emergencies etc.

I have used Tinder in the past but there seems little point being on if users are more than 30 miles away.

I'm on the whole happy single tbh and don't think I can be arsed with modern dating lol.

Alot of people are bloody hard work and 99.9% of the time I enjoy the company of my dog.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels like this.

I always limit the distance to a 40 minute drive. Any further than that costs too much money in petrol.

You are wise. I met a guy who was a 90min drive away. He was lovely, but we hardly saw each other. Covid meant we were messaging far longer than we should have been, but he was too lovely to let go.

Yes that is the thing. Plus you can't get to know someone well if they live more than an hours drive away.

When I was 20 I travelled from Essex to Birmingham to meet a man. Was a student back then and remember it cost £50 train fayre. Was a complete waste of time and money. Looking back I think what a stupid thing to do and how nieve I was. I'd never do it again though.

I'm quite happy being single but if I was looking, an hour would be the furthest I'd travel but only once in a relationship, for a first date I would expect them to meet half way at least. Most men that are keen normally offer to come over to my town on a first date.

I am 40 now but I just think to myself the amount of shit you have to wade through to find someone remotely decent isn't worth it.

I wouldn’t travel to meet anyone for a first date I would expect them to meet in my area. That’s just my opinion though, and wouldn’t date anyone that lived more than half an hour away (I live in London though so plenty of men close enough)
