- I have travelled from Jacksonville to Gainesville (about 80 miles) for a first date on four different occasions. I did that for the girl I met in December, and we are still dating. Both of us have jobs that we can primarily do from home, so we take turns travelling to spend as much time together as possible.Is this still revelant?

Yeah, after 5 months, we are extremely compatible and very much devoted to each other. It is not one of those "I'm crazy about her and she tolerates me" kind of relationships. She travels up here to spend time with me as much as I travel to spend time with her.
@OlderAndWiser
So, a girl is worth it. If she travels long distance for a man?@FictionalCharacter No, I did not mean to suggest that. I only mentioned her travelling to see me as an indication of her desire to be in a relationship with me. I see it in many other things that she does and, if she did not travel to me, I would travel to her every weekend.
Oh okay. I thought that was that small detail that made it something big. For her to be worth it for you.

- I had to look it up, but the farthest I went was 202.8 miles. There were other things I wanted to do in the area as well, and it seemed like it would line-up well. I can't even remember how I met her, I remember it was online, we hit it off real well, another Marine I knew lived in the area, so I got some tips on good spots to go to from him, and unsurprisingly it turned out to be a 200 mile drive for a one night stand.
I stuck around the city for a couple days though, Jackson, MS has some fun museums, and bars with live music. Wound up using all those tips and spots for myself to see around town, not a bad place to visit, not bad at all. Took a trip back that way later and stopped there with my wife, to see a concert and told her about my previous visit, only thing she was confused about was I didn't have to drive that far to get laid.
Sometimes it's about the journey and not the destination though.Is this still revelant?

- That’s how it turned out...
A surprise meet. He was visiting family, me just like to travel. So we met in a city neither of us live in.
then I met him in his city, neither had the intention of dating each other LD nor was showing any interest about dating.
But can’t fight faith. so here we are, 9 hour drive or 1 he flight and we are moving into a diff. city together next month. Closing on our house in 2 weeks.
Just don’t know what life take us... when lease expected.Is this still revelant? - Had 2 people travel from 2 cities to my city to take me out. Had some great dates. 💞
I met a guy who I got to know via work but we had to keep things professional until he left the firm. A surprise date, as I already know him. I could trust him. I've had to travel to an island before to have a perfect date, but he planned everything so it was really sweet😊Is this still revelant?

Is there really suck a thing as "the one"? I think you can grow to love people and they can become the one
- Depending on how little dating opportunities there were near me and who I was traveling to. But I'd have to keep in mind that they will likely be staying there so travel enough that it could be consistently repeated at least on a weekly basis and maybe driving to meet up with each other to do so, a 4 hour drive could be two if both met half way until they figured out if marriage or a relationship will happenReact

- Back when I was single, I once traveled three and a half hours for a first date. The date wasn't bad, but ultimately proved underwhelming, and I got a one-sentence rejection text not long afterwards. Ah, the good old days... I sure as hell don't miss them.React

- An hour or so is max for me. Cause considering dating is a long term time commitment, i don't wanna drive more than that twice a week just to see some girl i may not end up being with long term. I don't have that many ours in my day to waste. I'd rather spend the time actually dating, not getting to and from my date.React

- So far the farthest I've traveled is about 300 miles one way. But I would get on a plane to meet someone. It's no big deal. If it didn't work out I would just find something else to do for the weekend.React

@David92506 I didn't even mean to meet my current boyfriend. I had just left a very abusive 7 year relationship and created a whole new facebook. He popped up in "people you may know" and I messaged him. Fell for each other unexpectedly. In the past, prior to the 7 year relationship I did give the dating site a shot, that's actually where I met my ex so beware lol.

I've never been in a relationship before. So if I find "the one" for me, I'll definitely travel that far to see him. 😅
