I had a long affair with someone 2 hours away, used to meet in the middle a couple of times a month. It was deliberate to make sure there was zero crossover in our real lives. First couple of years was fine, but after a while it became more and more difficult to see eachother. I wouldn’t do that kind of distance again.

Has anybody actually bumped into an IE whilst out and about? I guess as long as your spouse didn't see your initial surprised reaction you could easily play it cool and walk on by, giving a knowing smile of course.

Good timelines, Ferrari. My last IE was about 1:30 away so it was typically 45 mins each for meets. About 30 minutes seems optimum but not too close. Agree with Rff though, if you like them enough you'll do what it takes!

Mine are quite a distance away however they may be worth the inconvenience of it. When there’s a will there’s a way.

It's time for me rather than distance. Living in Kent just outside the M25 I can get to Brighton quicker than I can get 7-8 miles into London.

up to 30 mins ideal
up to 45 min ok
up to 60 mins or more then your at the sliding scale of hotness and avialability.

When I was younger I once flew to America for a girl.....the things we do when we're young eh?

If you click and the availability is right and you can travel then go with it.

We dont want to be on eachother doorstep, but the closer you are the easier it is to get away, even if for a short time, an gives you more time to spend with eachother rather than travelling miles.

The nearer someone is the better and easier to plan meets.. obviously don’t want to near.. a few miles is more than enough min..

Yes 30 would be fine or a little more like every one side do want to bump. Into them unless arranged

Only just joined. Think I would want about half an hour drive away. Not close enough to bump into as Acpk55 mentioned, but close enough that it isn't a major hassle to meet up. I guess even better if the other person lived an hour away and you met halfway?
