I live in the U.S. I live in a city which is about 25 miles south of a very big, highly-populated (millions of residents) and well-known urban city (let’s call the northern city “city A”). I live about 25 miles north of another very big and well-known city (but much smaller than city A), but it’s more suburban (let’s call the southern city “city B”). So it’s about halfway between both cities. Meeting women who live in city A is out of the question. I have a car, but there is almost no parking in city A. If you’re lucky enough to even find parking (it’s always crowded), you have to pay for it. Most people who go to city A take a train there, and that would just take too long for me and I don’t want to spend money for a round trip train ride. Also, there are many people in city A who don’t own a car because they just use the public transportation there, so they wouldn’t be able to meet me where I live or even meet halfway. However, I’m open to meeting women within a 30 mile radius, aside from city A. I’m willing to commute a maximum of 30 minutes by car, although with rush hour traffic, that could be longer (I’d be willing to do a maximum of 45 minutes in rush hour traffic).
I only want to do online dating, but the problem is that, like in real life, most of the women on the dating websites are in city A, but like I said, I don’t want to meet women who live there. However, there also seems to be lots of women around city B (but not around where I live). I was thinking of meeting women about halfway between where I live and where they live (around city B) or a little closer to them. Like if they live in city B, they can take a 10 minute drive to a certain area and I could take a 20 minute drive to that area when we meet up. For the first date, I’d prefer to meet them instead of picking them up.
How do I take distance into account when dating? How do you decide what location (like what city) to have the date in when you’re talking on the phone and making plans to go out?
Here are the types of things that I’m curious about: would these women think I’m desperate if I had to drive 30 minutes to meet up with them (and going closer to where they live instead of where I live)? Would they even consider dating me if they knew I lived that far away (about 30 minutes away by car), even if I wanted to meet halfway? What is the maximum distance (or driving time) you two should live away from each other? How far away from where you live and how far away from where she lives should you two meet (what is the maximum driving distance I should travel and what is the maximum driving distance she should travel)? And anything else you could think of that could help me out. Also take into account that I’ll be meeting women only on dating websites.
