I know one sub flew to Guernsey to meet a master she met on Yahoo. It didn't work. This month she flew to Miami to meet another she had chatted to for 18 months. That didn't work out either. She blamed herself for getting the dates wrong but he was working in a different part of the country. Mmm, risks eh!

my best pal, and sould mate lives at the other end of the country, i try to see her once a year for a week, but it hurts, as i am out of her day-to-day life, and do not get to see how she really is each day. we text every day/talk each week, but that is not the same as being in a room together and experiancing the chemistry. real strength is knowing who you are | ||

Goodness, I think I'm gonna cry in a minute! I feel for you, I really do. I find it hard enough only being able to visit once a month or so. x | ||

thanks everyone for your responses... far far too early to start thinking in terms of relationship... but realising that a 5hr journey to meet someone is both manageable and should be at least considered if the click is this good... "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, scotch in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ~ "WOO HOO what a ride!"" | ||

My first relationship was commuting between the UK and Sweden for a little while before living in both the UK and finally Sweden together. Now i have a 170km distance which is manageable, it's just timing work shifts around that and having 'awake' time together that is proving to be difficult! | ||

The furthest I've tried to go to meet someone I met on the internet is Moscow. I bought tickets but the computers in the Russian Embassy were on the blink so I didn't get the visa in time 
That was purely for sex (well, and to see Moscow), no real chance of a relationship starting.
The furthest I reasonably regularly travel is Sheffield to London. Must give him a call. | ||

My best friend lives very far from me too and I am out of his everyday life though G is not my soul mate we do text and e-mail. We try to meet up for gigs occasionally and try and meet at Christmas but this is hard as it is a time for family commitments. I empathise with you, and he is only my friend. Time to e-mail him me thinks Best M

I'd be prepared to meet up with anyone who interested me, but I wouldn't go far out of my way to do it. Possibly a couple of hours to meet up with someone if I hadn't met them, but not much more. However if they were much farther away I'd expect them to cover roughly half the distance to enable that meeting. I'd also not be keen to be the one doing the travelling all the time, so someone without their own transport and more than an hour or so away is probably not going to pique my interest enough. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||

Yes, rather regularly, and I also had to get visas to go. | ||

Amazing replies here. I think some are talking from the POV of being in a relationship rather than the OP's question about a first meeting with someone you haven't met which may well be a different answer. I'd probably limit my travel to London and the home counties for a first meet, although I did make an exception to this once and very rewarding it turned out to be. If a partner you were already in a good relationship with was to move away though and still wanted to continue the relationship I think I'd probably have to say distance would be no object. |
