Im sorry to rant, and likely the comments will encourage me to give my head a wobble! (Please include the eye rolling emoji so i really know my rant is pointless!  )
But….
People who contact you from miles and miles away. Why? I know some people like to travel or work in one city and live in another. I feel rude when i highlight that i’d rather not meet people from further afield. Well i work in your area whats the problem?!  arrghh.
Do people make the long distance meets thing work or is it more trouble than its worth?
(Sorry for whinging  ) |

As someone who is a thousand miles away from most of fab, I still like to have people to chat to, but I steer clear of those profiles that have the ‘ten mile radius only’ thing in their blurb. I don’t have high expectations of meets, but on the occasions I do visit the U.K. I have arranged a few so I get that it’s not your thing, but it doesn’t mean it’s not for everyone |

You’re very right and some people like traveling for meets, its a bit of an adventure. I get it really do. Its just frustrating when someone contacts you from far away - great profile, great first message but the distance is ‘impractical’. |

On weekends I travel around the country due to a sponsership I have outside work but I can choose where I go as long as content is provided. I try to schedule meets around this so for me it's worth pointing this out via message exchanges, distance genuinely isn't an issue and I have zero expectations to play on any meet arranged. |

I guess if someone wants to make the effort then fair play (though I’d guess a lot won’t actually when it comes to it). Personally what annoys me more are the “I’m in your area weds for an hour fancy meeting?” brigade. |

Same... It's just annoying and not practical at all. I like to social first, so it's a long way to come for coffee.
I don't get the Irish guys that message... You're overseas?! Or the Scottish ones that are 300+ miles away. |

I only go to Portsmouth when I take the morning ferry to Jersey but I always get there the night before! |

I get a lot of messages from guys hundreds of miles away and they are never too happy to be told no, but I recently had a message from a guy in Michigan US and he didn't just want a meet, he wanted a relationship. |

He didn't say, but his messages made me think he was either ignoring the 3800 miles distance or just didn't know the distance. |

Not as uncommon a scenario as one might think.
I am surprised by some of the long distance love affairs which I have heard about over the years. Some beggar belief how initial contact was even dreamed of. |

I've traveled to Liverpool from Essex for a meet. We'd established a bit of a rapport over a a comment on a thread a bit like this and I made a weekend out of it. We're now quite good friends and it was a fantastic weekend, which we've repeated a few times.
So sometimes no a bit of distance is not always a problem.
That said if it was a cold message to someone I'd never met before i doubt I'd look at more than two hours drive? |
