Sligo to dublin, I've travelled to Belfast, travelled to westmeath. I drive 100km each way for work. I don't mind driving. I treat myself to a night away and make the most of it. For coffee I even travelled from cavan to mullingar yesterday afternoon and than back to sligo. |

Belfast |
I stopped travelling for one on one/couples meets as well as meeting anyone who wants to travel over - greater the distance - greater seem to be the expectation.
Especially when there's booked hotels involved.
I definitely don't want to have sex with anyone just because they've booked a hotel to stay over in Belfast and they have no other plans. |

I don't mind travelling, especially if it's mostly motorway!
I've driven four hours to meet someone but I'd unashamedly go to the moon and back for them  |

I’ve travelled from outside Belfast to Dublin just to meet for coffee. Have also taken someone sight seeing on the North Antrim Coast after they were at a Belfast M&G and then left them off in Dublin with nothing more expected than being sociable  |

I won't travel more than an hour. The only exception is if I was going somewhere anyhow .
I don't have time on my days off to be travelling long distances and I also would not expect anyone to do it to meet me either. |

"Ireland to the US "
Shit you just reminded me I went Ireland auz to get stood up
Had been with a girl for a while, we booked auz but I had stuff to sort and couldn't go out until a few month after her so she went on with a friend and her cousin.
Got to the layover in signapore on my flight before she told me she had met someone else!! Good Times.
I went to friends in Sydney and had a great time partying.....she got knocked up 2 months later  |

Would never travel more than 30mins or so for someone I didn't know. I wouldn't agree to someone else travelling much further either even if they said it was OK by them.
We would ALWAYS have a social first and it puts a burden of expectation on the whole thing.
Someone who I had met before and trusted is a different story.
Wel get messages from far and wide and they always say they will travel... but I just remind them that they would need to travel at least twice even in the best of circumstances as there would always be a social.
I guess it's easier for fems and couples as they generally don't have issues meeting so can usually choose from the local pool. |

I guess we are lucky as there are loads locally. We wouldn't have time to meet all the hotties even if we wanted. Travelling away just seems like pointless hassle. |

Most local to meet are married or with girlfriends.

Thankfully never had a no-show. And if I arrange something, I turn up!
I have travelled one or one and a half hours specifically for just a coffee.
With regards to how far I'd go, it always depends on the vibe I'm getting. My gut instincts have never let me down yet . |

I think it horrendous for someone not to actually show up , common courtesy costs nothing |

It seems the internet just gives too much anonymity, which probably makes it easier to be less courteous in organising a social. So easy to ignore, block and move on. Seems a lot of people either lack common courtesy or just don't have the guts to say they can't meet or have changed their mind, or both.
Without wanting to offend anyone, being a foreigner, I do think it's an Irish thing - not wanting to be rude to your face, telling someone they're not for you etc.
That's life! Not everyone is going to like everyone or have chemistry. I personally always prefer the truth. Say it to my face! Say it by text, whatever. But say it, that way the subject can be closed and that person moved on from! |

Speaking only for myself here... I'd much rather be told - no thanks, you're not for me rather than being ghosted or ignored.
I'm an adult; I don't sulk if someone isn't interested in me. That's life, so be it, but at least be somewhat courteous and mature. |
