How do you feel about distance dating?
I cannot find a nice woman in my area and when I try further afield. I get the big 'E'. Its the same problem no matter what dating site you go on. I currently have a date with a woman 70 miles away! The first and only one from 8 sites and 60 contacts. Comments?

Only 70 miles? count yourself lucky

Funny you should bring this up as I was talking about this to someone at 2 or 3 am this morning I actually think a long distant relationship would do me just fine for lots of reasons, you dont get bored for one, adds to the excitement of planning/seeing each other as well its not like you wont have any contact in between visits either, Emails, phone, texts, msn are there all an easy way to keep in touch....anyway thats my input..just got to find that person now & i'd be very happy with that

I dont mind distance... as long as its not TOO far. I was dating someone from the West Midlands, took me about three hours to travel there (she'd come here too, we'd take it in turn). I dont think I could handle further than that though...

It shouldn't impinge on anything unless it is totally unworkable - the right person is the right person after all. But that's just it, it can often be totally unworkable. Been there enough times to know that. On here, only if I think any distance would be impossible to circumnavigate does that impact on my thinking...

personally, with uni and work for me just now i dont have the time to even think about having a long distance thing, i have 1 day off a week so it would be a once a month thing, at the very most and i need a lot more than that from a relationship.

can see how it may work for others though, plus side is if you are not keen on seeing someone a lot and like your space, you have it with no pressure because its simply not possible to see them every week. sadly, im not like that, have to see my partner a lot if im involved with them!

I got really fed up with all the good intentions from men who lived miles away and actual meetings never happening after the logistics were worked out, time and finance, non-drivers (of which I'm one). So this last year I've only bothered with men who live near me, or in London (where I do go sometimes). This has worked far better for me.

The other option that I think would also work for me is a relationship that meant a few weeks we meet, then are separated for a few weeks.... sort of alternate clumps of quality time. Then it'd be more about the jobs a guy does like oil rigs, forces, musicians on tour, work abroad......so then it's whether any of those men would have the interests and personalities that would compliment mine.

I just joined a few days Ago.
Hi I would like to say The long distance thing
is OK ,As long as there is Communication . I flew all the way Over there, From California To meet the person , I had talked to for a few months, Unfortunately ,He was Still dating Several Others and Lied about it, I did make some Really nice Friends in his Neighbors Though , And still Talk to them on a Regular basis. It also depends How far and how Long You are willing to Travel, I Will Go to the Moon to Find the person , I am best Suited for , So If you are OK with it, And Planning to meet Them . Then you have Something to look Forward to, And your Time is More Special.

Im sure Ive answered this one before on another thread… when I was in the forces I used to travel from Aberdeenshire to the midlands every 6 days or so for a three day stopover…. Bloody knackering but worth it…. That crazy thing they call love…. The distance didn’t matter..

It can definately work just as long as someone is prepared to move.

After everything I've said to the contrary, I now find myself having been found by someone living in another country that I really like even though we've never met yet.
So, is this encounter going to turn my world up-side-down??? Big question..... time will tell I guess.

I don't think i'd enjoy having a long distance relationship becuase I would probably miss her to much and feel depressed.

l think l prefer long distance relationship.
Maybe from one country to another.
