Depends on the woman. A woman should only have to travel from her door to my car, I would pick her up


Sigh...Chuckaliscious.....

If you meet a person from across town for a date and the date doesn't work it's no big deal.

Some guys who message me live too far away for dating so I say no to their offers. I am not big on web dating. I want to get to know the guy in real life.

I've had some guys offer to travel from across the country (or further) just for a date. I totally don't get this.

It's seems like too much pressure. If I decided I didn't feel any chemistry between us I would feel like I would have to stretch the date out just because he traveled so far. I would feel pressured to make the date work instead of just relaxing and being myself.

Would you accept a date from a guy you only talked to for a week on the web and who lived across the country or even further away? Lets say you really didn't know him well and you didn't even know if he is right for you.

The guys I am referring to I would go on a date with if they lived across town.

Thoughts?


Your profile states a willingness to move for the right guy ... perhaps it is a little confusing then? If you are only interested in local guys that's cool ... just let them know... :smile:

I am wiling to move. The question was about these guys that want to fly out and meet me after only knowing me one week. They are nice guys but that would be too much pressure after knowing guys for only one week.

Another thing. Some other people (not you ArtGurl) have miss quoted my profile and said that it said I would move long distances. No where does it say that in my profile and it never has.

I would maybe move a long distance if I really got to know the guy well and things worked out. But I am not going to meet a guy from say...... Colorado.... after one week of messages.

The OP is about me wanting to understand what goes through certain guys minds. It also about wanting other people's opinions on meeting guys after just one week, guys who live far away. It's not about other things that people are making it out to be.

Checkout Girl used to live exactly 4 miles away from me, so I always just said 4 miles was as far as I would go. Since I moved, she is farther away now, so I have to recalibrate.

This is a quote from your profile:

"I can waitress anywhere so if I find that right guy then moving would not be a problem. I don't really have a future in this town."

Hi adj4u.... what do I call you? a? ad? Bob?
Did it work out? Obviously you are still on Mingle but was the date at least worth it? Did you know her long before the date?

From my profile. THE FULL QUOTE. Not the partial one a certain someone just showed.


"This town has very few good single guys so here I am on mingle2 hoping to find someone. I can waitress anywhere so if I find that right guy then moving would not be a problem. I don't really have a future in this town. The guy will have to be pretty special before I move though. "


Note the sentence "The guy would have to be pretty special before I move though"

Note the not lack of me saying I would move a long distance.

I don't expect a guy to give up his career to move to a little tiny town in Jersey. That is why I said I would move.

It seems some only quote what they want to quote to make them seem right. Sorry, you lose.
