For me. It’s worth making the effort. If you’re only meeting a few times a month then it’s well worth it. If you want to meet more during the week it’s a bit more harder. But to book a hotel in the middle so it’s safer and you can actually just be yourselves

What's the point of meeting some one you don't really like , regardless of the distance?

My thoughts are , it all really depends on how frequently you are prepared to meet a d how much time you think you can spend with eachother.

Eg travelling more than an hour for a couple of hours fun , is not a good use of anyone's time. Doesn't matter how much you like them , this would never be sustainable

On the other hand if you only see eachother once a month and looking for an over night thing , I think 2-3 hours traveling is ok.

Is there anyone out there that has managed to sustain a relationship that involves alot of travelling ? Love to hear your experience

Like many here, an hour or so away isn’t too bad when you’re going to be spending a good day/evening/night together.

The tricky part about a long distance affair is those introductory coffee meetings. You really need to be fairly certain on both sides that it’s worth the trip. Of course it might take a couple or more meetings like this to get to know someone enough to spend money on hotels.

4 hoirs available. 30 miles there, 30 miles back. That's 90 minutes leaving 2.5 hours.

It depends if you drive or not. Ideally meeting someone within 45 minutes would be ok. I was chatting to a guy on here earlier in the year, we were getting on great and agreed to meet, he was shocked to discover that I do not drive and it was a deal breaker! I have good links to local and national transport and can get to a lot of places. He lived not too far, I suggested I can get the train to a halfway point but he said no. I never really got my head around it, and he is still on here so obviously never met a woman who could drive!!

Depends on the time commitment you can give if you only have a few hours to offer during the daytime you can’t be travelling too far. But if you can offer longer meets, overnights then I would say anything up to 2 hours or further if you meet in the middle. But agree the travelling can get tedious but can also enhance the anticipation.

I think I prefer them being a bit further away an hour to an hour and a half for me. I don’t want the risk of ever bumping into someone. X

Sounds great on paper but really? Week in, week out, month in, month out???

Great if you have unlimited time and finances but how many do???

Nowhere in this country is more than a few hours away we are so well connected. Plus it is rather romantic to get on a plane or a train to go and meet someone.
