Search Results: finding a date with online dating

The problem with the profile I found is she is located right at 150 miles away. She list 75 miles as the farthest away she wants to be contacted from. We match in personality, lifestyle, and are even close to each other in terms of physical attractiveness (in what is a pretty general sense I can't account for personal preferences.) I have dated online for years and never found this close of a match profile wise.

Should I try to contact her? Also I can't contact her with my profile, without changing my location. And if so should I immediately point out that I am a little farther away than expected (this is the way I am leaning because I don't like the idea of trying to start a relationship with anything that can be considered deceptive.) Or try to build a rapport first and then tell her. Hoping that between the initial contact and the first 3-4 real conversations she doesn't ask where I'm from. Or how I like living in whatever city I put on the profile to get inside the 75 mile range. I truly understand the 75 mile range, I used to have the same restriction. However I live in a small town and realized I am on online dating because the person I am looking for isn't going to be two blocks over. Which is why I even consider this as an excusable thing to do. We are obviously on this site because we aren't finding what we are looking for where we are.

I understand long distance isn't good unless the plan is to become short distance within a time frame we each feel comfortable dealing with. This I feel if handled with communication, and honesty won't be a problem.

Will someone please help me figure out if contacting her is wrong to do? Or if any girls out there would feel deceived or immediately turned off by this? And potential good match be danged. I do not want to disregard the information on her profile, but I do not want to miss with someone it seems I match so well with and really aren't that much farther from. Thank you in advance.

Girls, do you use Tindr, if so how do you feel about it?

I live in a small town and finding a date is tricky, I've tried online dating and I hate it :P It's difficult to get a girls attention since you all are getting tons of messages from other guys. It feels more like playing a raffle.

I heard about Tindr and was wondering how girls felt about it.
