| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 2/13/2008 10:13:38 AM | I pick my too far based on my car's crapiness. lol But if someone is so eager to see me they are willing to do the driving my car can't, I've got no problem with it at all. | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 2/20/2008 10:16:00 AM | | In my situation and what I am looking for in a relationship I have to look at distance. Living in a small town and having a career that puts me on call 24/7 every other week is a serious detriment to finding someone special. I dont want to have a text msg/ phone relationship and feel that you really cant get close to someone unless you can actually be with them at least ever so often. Everyones situation is different. | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 7/30/2008 6:44:57 PM | its a tuff one. i realy dont think one or the other should do all the driving. but how do you get to know some one realy when you dont see them enough. there is a perfect babe i would love to meet but im sure the distance, is keeping us from trying. | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 8/2/2008 8:15:32 AM | I think if you can't get to them in a half hour drive tops...they're too far.
Also, it's got to be mutual meaning both make the drive at times.
I don't even look at women twice that live outside my area and one's that contact me from too far out I tell plan on driving alot because I'm not going to and that as they say becomes that. | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 8/3/2008 1:04:53 AM | | I'm a driver, so I don't mind going outside my area - I've done it before... on the other hand, it does limit the amount of time you get to spend with someone... You find the right person, though, the distance is irrelevant... | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 5/28/2009 7:03:26 PM | Sometimes the next room over is too far away, it is worlds removed, at least that is the way it was with the EX, which is why she is an EX. If it takes me more than 2 hours to get there, I am not doing it, because its really a 4 hour evolution. Not counting the event. Now I might consider moving for the right girl, but as of this date, she has yet to appear. | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 5/29/2009 4:45:10 PM | | WELL i dont think that distance should stand in the way but i guess that depends on the people involved .If i found the right woman and she lived a distance i would make arangements to bring her out here. But i really cant relocate so i would help her move here if it came to that. I have lived in my home since i bought it in 1980 and i live in the mountains its beautiful here so i guess im staying but i have room for the right woman ---JOE | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 6/2/2009 3:32:01 PM | I've heard it said that [insert town about 2 hours and change away] isn't too far for the right girl/guy.
I think that's true. It's a bit far for most of us I think.... but now and then..... 2 hours (and change) isn't so bad. | |
|
| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 6/2/2009 3:59:41 PM | | That would all depend how often we wanted to see each other. If someone doesn't mind seeing me only once a week, than ya I would do 2 hours pending our schedules. If I really got into someone I could see my weekend when I am childless spent with that special someone that is a little bit of a drive as long as she offers the same. | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 6/10/2009 6:46:16 PM | It really depends on my interest in a guy. I once traveled 2000 miles for a date....I cheated though because I was back home visiting my family and connected with him on POF. It was a great adventure while it lasted.  | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 6/10/2009 9:07:00 PM | Just an observation... and I'm sure every excepting will chime in here...
Any time I've met a woman online who is over 2 hours away, *I* am expected to come to them... not once has a woman offered to make the trip THIS direction.
(One did... but only if I paid for her travel)

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 6/10/2009 9:14:00 PM | ^^^^^^^^^like any relationship should be, it should be a 2 way street. She doesn't offer to make the drive, she will hit the curb, because I would kick her to it. | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 10/4/2009 2:17:46 PM | And really its not so much a distance thing. have you seen the Renton S curves?!?! Its 4 maybe 5 miles, why the hell does it take a half an hour to get through them. Come on people, its left, drive, right, drive, left, drive and merge! Spend some more time on Mario Kart and less time texting | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 10/19/2009 11:31:43 PM | | I could do the distance thing if I ment the right person, I would even go there. I have a friend taht lived jsut over an hour away and when I drive to see him he does the food (unless we go out then we dutch), and any local driving, and vice versa when he comes up to see me. It works all the way around. I really don't mind the drive it gets me out of the house. But it is a matter of preference for the people involved, because a distance isn't for everyone. | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 10/20/2009 1:03:32 AM | I think the distance thing is hard. It always gets the romantic appeal and why there are advantages to it, my experience has shown me that if you do not live in the same general area (within a 30 min car ride) then it is too far. I married a woman I met on another continent and just recently got out of a relationship with a great woman in Tahoe. And I've also had a long distance relationship with a gal in Spokane. In short, I believe people are made to be together and there is no true way of determining how a person really is when you cannot be with them on a regular basis. And long distance relationships are always like a vacation when you meet your partner. But in no way does this reflect real life I think. I knew these gals pretty well but until you are around them enough, their behavior does not really appear until you have observed them in everyday life. It'd be great if our partner and lifestyles were one big vacation but this seldom is the case. It's a romantic ideal that in my experience it is nothing more.
My advice is to find somebody locally so that you can grow with them and determine if they are a suitable partner in more realistic conditions. | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 10/20/2009 9:21:01 AM | For me it depends on how hot of a piece of a$$ she is. If she's smokin' and is willing to toss a leg for me to top off the night and reward me for my commute then I'll drive an hour just to get some pu$$y.
Good luck... | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 10/23/2009 8:04:32 PM | | I met a man once that herded horses and cattle in the basin back before there was hardly blacktop. He would ride his horse (a fresh one) at a trot for 30+ miles after workin' all week just to see his woman. He sometimes visited during the week! Must have been a heck of a woman! | |

| How far is too far for a relationship? Posted: 10/24/2009 1:01:15 AM | | Too each their own really. I mean long distance works for some and doesn't work for others. It's up to each individual to know how far is too far and what makes them comfortable and all. I mean obviously even tacoma is too far for some because they want someone like 10 minutes away / within walking distance. Some don't mind if they are just weekend dating and see each other on the weekends after a 4 hour drive. who knows | |
