Would you travel some distance just to meet someone
Jump to: Newest in thread
I prefer local as I like to build rapport and have something semi (snigger) regular, plus I don't drive. But Jesus wept there are slim pickings here in Norfolk.
If you fancied someone quite some distance away, would you travel for the sole purpose of meeting them, social or otherwise, or is it just not worth the effort? |

It's probably not something I'd do
But I'm not averse to an occasional adventure when I have more time on my hands |

I've done over 250 miles each way before. Distance is no object to me, especially if that person is worth it x |

No,for us,not worth the effort.
We would meet up with others we have chatted to,on holiday,but we would be going on holiday anyway,not specifically to meet a person |

For me, I’d travel if asked to & build a rapport - I travel with my job occasionally anyway. So travel isn’t a big issue.
But for convenience sake, preferably within 10Miles. But if a connection was built then I’d happily travel 
Sex without connection is just a posh wank |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
Up to an hour I would. I have travelled longer but that was for whole weekends. |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
I think when someone ticks all your boxes and they’re on the same path as you and wanting the same things then yes…I would travel.
Sometimes people closer to you don’t fit what you’re looking for, going further out can be very much worthwhile.
It wouldn’t be for one offs and so on. |

I've had people say that distance is no object. Personally, I would feel a little pressure if someone has made all that effort to meet me. Like I'd better be the most sparkling and hilarious version of myself so they don't home thinking what a waste of their time and petrol money! |

Yes.
I have done before and would do again.
Attraction isn’t relative to location and convenience really is a poor basis for connections.
It’s the person that I’m meeting that is the important factor, distance is just logistics |

My range is about max 200 miles 3 hours ish from home, generally if anyone is above that they will come down to a middleish ground  |

All you can do is really just be yourself. Regardless of whether they think it’s a waste or not. It’s why I take a very long time in getting to know someone, on and off the site.
Meeting withers seals the way you feel or it doesn’t. |

I don’t really understand it when people say that distance travelled adds pressure. If you’re thinking that they might think that, then either that’s coming from them in which case they’re an ass or you’re adding that pressure yourself |

"Just logistics" is quite simplistic. Women im particular generally have more caring responsibilities then men, so what for some is just jumping into a car, for others it could involve arranging childcare, let's being fed, transportation to after school activities and all sorts of things. |

In the early days of the internet I used to do travel all over the country meeting people. Sometimes if it went really well I’d end up moving to where they are, like when I upped sticks from Torquay to Sheffield. Shame it only lasted six months but was an adventure. |

If we’re travelling and planned out a whole day trip or weekend away then yeah we’d meet for a social but we’d also prefer local for more regularly FWB types

I think if you both like what's being said and that connection is there and obviously you both have that attraction I would travel for the right girl.
I think it could even add to that anticipation and excitement of meeting that person.
And you could even meet halfway????? |

Rightly or wrongly, I think there generally are more expectations on men to put the work in, however, women ARE more likely to be full time single parents, have relatives to care for and have inflexible jobs. It's not simply a case of prioritising meeting people but simply not being able to piece together all the components that can make it possible |

Prices for hotels go up at the weekend - maybe double the price.
So it depends upon how much anyone is earning. In my mind it's definitely not cheap! |

As I tend to be looking for more than just a fuck and go, I would as I would have gotten to know them fairly well before making the journey. There would be a connection on some level more than just sexual attraction.
It would seem silly to limit potential great matches due to distance, especially when potentially there may be nobody I'd have a connection with locally. |

To be honest we do not have much options other than travel so we used to before the pandemic make a little break out of it and explore different places with the added orgasm bonus.

Pre-pandemic I was routinely making four- or five-hour round trips for meets. I think the furthest I went was an eight-hour round trip.

I did travel to meet a lady l met here, clocked up thousands of miles over the time, she was an unbelivable lady in heart , soul, mind and body., worth every inch of road travelled.l hesitated in going into a full on full time relationship, she moved on,totally devastated me but it was 100% my own fault..." he who hesitates is lost "... |

I think at the end of the day day if there is an attraction there and depending on how many miles away they are I don't mind travelling a little bit of distance. Yes it would be difficult to see them on a regular basis but I honestly think that that you could have a penpal especially on a sex site  |

If I had the time, distance wouldn't be a factor.
Sadly, having made the rod for my own back, time is something I struggle to manufacture in a sizeable quantity to allow for travel.
Although, I have managed before, and sure I will manage again, just takes military precision planning and a little bit of luck. |

I do but I really like travelling to new places and meeting interesting people that may become friends , so I’d plan some adventures around it and treat as an adventure. If it was just for sex I wouldn’t travel more than 30 mins or try and persuade them to come to me ! |

I hate motorways with a passion and find them scary so I will find and use alternative routes to avoid them as often as I can.

Distance has and never would be an issue for me for someone I've talked to for some time and built a connection with to have a level of confidence that the connection will translate to in person.
If we meet half way then most of the country is within a 2-3 hour reach anyway. |

Oops! Pressed send too soon!
That reads quite bluntly.
It’s a matter of how high you prioritise meeting that person, if you can’t wrangle a day past your other commitments or things that you want to do away from fab, then I’d probably say it’s not worth meeting them
No it’s not. I disagree. I simply can’t, no matter how much I like them. For a one off maybe but I don’t do one offs. Anything more regular isn’t possible. It’s not a sympathy thing and good on the people who can but for me it’s not a case of being able to just wrangle a day x"

I've never had a local relationship, fab meet, or anything. I've always travelled, so distance is no biggie.
We enjoy weekends away, so will use opportunities to their max.

Think it very much depends on the situation. We regularly do weekends away, if we met somebody in a social setting who was visiting Newcastle or we happened to be visiting there town and we got on well then yes we would make the effort to meet again regardless of distance.
We do this with some of our friends who live down near London who we have met at least once a year for the last five years. |

"Yes.
I have done before and would do again.
Attraction isn’t relative to location and convenience really is a poor basis for connections.
It’s the person that I’m meeting that is the important factor, distance is just logistics"

Absolutely, 100%. I also have the misfortune to live in Norfolk where there are quite literally no people that interest me at all. It's a wasteland here in the east so I almost always travel.
I'm from London but live in Norfolk so I'm used to it. I have no problem travelling 100 miles or more to meet people who I've connected with. The vast majority of my verifications are from people outside my area. |

Where I live I have good transport links which is useful as I don't drive.
I would consider travelling to London (about 50miles for me) as it's a direct journey by train (or anywhere else on the train line) for a one-off social.
Further afield I would like to think I would but it would probably have to be more than just a one-off social and with someone I had messaged/talked with quite a bit to know that we had some sort of connection/rapport.
I do enjoy train travel and for me the journey would be part of the whole experience. |

It's like planning a military operation for me to leave the house sometimes. I just don't have the hours normally to invest in being able to travel that far. There are too many people reliant on me. I will travel an hour tops if I'm meeting alone. If meeting with hubby we may get a cheeky weekend away then we can go further. |

If it is something like "fuck and go" then not a chance for travelling.
However, you build a connection, share mutual sexual attraction and chemistry, enjoy eachothers company, then travelling for 250 miles one side or meeting in the middle is always possible!
