I am conducting research on those over 45 male and female who use internet dating. I am in my final year at Nottingham University. No names and addresses are needed, all information provided would be fully confidential and this is backed by the university.

Thank you for your time xx

Sorry, your poll doesn't look right to me. Wouldn't it be more realistic to ask:

less than 30 miles
more than 30 miles
more than 50 miles
more than 100 miles

thankyou for that! How do you change it? I am new to all this forum stuff.

Log in (as you are now lol), then click on the 'Edit' button at the top of your first post; the option to chnage the poll options is near the bottom of the edit page.

Nottingham Uni rawks - just thought id say lol

boooo, i cant take part

Poll still not changed, but I would (and have) travelled more than 100 miles - waaaay more than 100 miles

For my last proper date I got a day return from Plymouth to London, but ended up staying there for a few days (I suppose it turned out to be what is known as a hot date). Personally, I regard anything under 100 miles as a perfectly acceptable distance to travel for a date, and anything over 100 miles OK assuming that there is the potential for something a little more long term.

me too

I've possibly changed my views in the last few months and probably would travel a fair distance if there was someone I thought was worth it.

I have travelled a long distance to hook up with someone, thats partially why i dont really want to again Lost all my london friends cos of my move up to scotland, then all the scottish friends when i came back down Now i have to build em all up again

Yep, having said that if it was someone that I truely loved i'd move without a seconds hesitation. And I guess now im willing to travel a bit more to see someone i'd like to get to know better.

Great! Everyone is joining in! It seems most of you would travel quite far to meet someone. What is the feeling when you go and meet someone for the first time? Never done it myself but i imagine that its pretty nerve wrecking. your opinions and experiences would be appreciated! (can't seem to change the poll? it won't let me!)

You cant change polls after peeps have voted as far as i know.

And first meets are always nerve wracking Met a supposedly cute 20 something once, was actually a nymphomanic 60 something Needlessly to say I single handly beat the world record for the 200m dash
