Posted: 3/18/2008 6:52:01 PM | 931 miles ,but I happened to visit family in his area and it is a long ongoing story.
One was 850 miles to Toronto and lasted for 3 years,after 3 years I was sick of phone calls and traveling and sent him a dear john e-mail.Yes,I know it was lousy to do it that way but it was the only way at the time.
Now I won`t even talk to someone unless they are in the Kc metro area. | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 7:15:02 PM | 503 miles...I will be going this summer.
I presume you meant for a love relationship, but this one isn't (by his choice). It is a friend who I have known online for 3 years. He knows me better than anyone else knows me. We talk about anything and everything but he refuses to get involved in an LDR. Still, there is a curiousity to meet face to face so we have both booked holidays to finally meet each other.
Other than that - I would go to the ends of the earth to meet the one. As the saying goes 'Love knows no bounds'. | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 7:42:40 PM | | I would be willing to travel approximately 20 minutes each way and only if there is a rest stop in between, otherwise, FORGET IT! | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 7:49:42 PM | | I would travel probably as far as was needed if the connection between us was strong enough, but I try to just form connections within a 150 to 200 mile radius. People can form a srong bond talking for long periods of time I had a person travel from Scotland to see me and he was a great guy but that is toooo far to build any kind of relationship. | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 8:06:25 PM | | My previous post was a joke. Honestly speaking, I do not do long distance, if they are not within the direct area where I live, as in regionally, I do not bother. | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 8:19:12 PM | | Dated a gal 6 hours away for 4 months. One of us traveled it every weekend and on holidays. Even met halfway sometimes and rode together for another 3 hours to the beach are mountains. Really was not that big a deal. We both had plenty in common and enjoyed each others company enough to make the trip very worth while. Would not have any problem at all doing it again with the right girl. | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 10:10:08 PM | | I once got talked into driving 5 blocks to meet a woman. Man that was hard we dated for awhile but the distance thing was just too much, anything over 2 block and i am not interested. I just don't do long distance. | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 11:07:45 PM | Long time ago, I did DC -- San Francisco. Twenty years later, did it again, lol! Last SO was 12 hours, but it only took us two visits to decide to live together, and it lasted till he died. Last summer, drove 15 hours. Didn't work romantically, but he's become a very good friend. Mr. Right is four hours -- for the time being. This time he's doing the moving. Lucky me!

Posted: 3/18/2008 11:08:00 PM | | I wouldnt even attempt to get into a relationship with someone that lived more than 2 or 3 hours from me. It's hard to really get to know someone when you dont get to spend much time with them. Talking on the phone is ok, but being able to see each other at least a couple of times a week is better. (At least to me). | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 11:30:07 PM | Ha! Someone flew out 1700 to see me, then confessed he was interested in someone...in his neighborhood! 
Up to 1 hour would be fine with me. I like my space and independence, and as a middle aged single, would think we already have our own lives. 2 places to share and evey where else to explore together sounds good to me! | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 11:41:06 PM | My ex is in Europe and I'm in Canada. We chatted for about a year then he suprised me by buying a plane ticket to visit me for a couple of weeks about 5 days after I'd had surgery. I was still in recovery mode bigtime and it was not my finest hour, but the connection we'd had online most definitely translated into real life in spite of my postop presence. He left for 6 months then came back for 6 months and I went there to visit him and meet his family also.
I don't mind the long distance thing IF both parties are being themselves and honest in their communications. When it becomes tough is when you're so great in person and get so close that having to say goodbye ends up being the most painful thing in the world. Communicating via email/chat etc. just doesn't cut it anymore after that. So, unless one is willing to move to be with their long distance love, it's not worth the heartache. That being said, both of us were willing but the timing of it all was way off so it didn't happen. Best relationship of my life... worst heartache ever when it had to end. But... I'm grateful for what it was while it was. | |

Posted: 3/19/2008 3:32:13 AM | I would travel about 50 miles or so. I live in a big city, so if I can't find a date between the million + people here, the problem probably isn't distance.  | |

Posted: 3/19/2008 4:55:38 AM | I have traveled many times to go on vacation but the furthest I have traveled to meet someone was 9933 miles (15986 km) - as the crow flies: AND it was worth every second.  | |

Thats about it right there.The perfect solution!! I need my space as well and I am not really willing to change my entire life for another person.We shouldn`t have to that late in Life. | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 1:30:59 PM | | In terms of dating, I don't really think of distance as a huge obstacle. That being said, I dated someone who lived in New Jersey, while I was living in California. However, we did meet while both in the same state. | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 1:51:03 PM | | 2 hours in a heartbeat!!!!I have never really traveled too far out of my territory to meet someone......... | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 1:54:31 PM | | Probably about 90 minutes. The larger centres of population are further away, so I view travel as inevitable, really. And the reward would hopefully be worth it... | |

Posted: 3/21/2008 5:09:22 AM | The rpoblem is if a long distance relationship works out is who moves to the other person ?
Everyone usually has family close by and its a huge life change to move away.
Then what if it doesnt work out? you could be left in a city where you know no one. | |

Posted: 3/21/2008 6:40:43 AM | | I live in a big metropolitan city with many large suburbs so my chances of meeting someone here are definitely better than other geographies. I woud not travel more than an hour now would I expect my date to travel further than that. I prefer to be more spontaneous with getting together than a long-distance relationship could bring. | |
