How far would you drive for a date?

I don't get it. Why are you not hanging out in her area? If she wants to hang at your place, she can figure out how to drive out to you. If she's incapable of being able to figure that out, is that something you want in a person? She'll never get used to it unless she does it.

I'm from CA and that sounds horrible to me. 2 hours and 40 minutes of driving for a date?
 
did 1 hr for the first date with me and my current gf (that was 2 months ago) now she is moved to chicago so its 2 hrs.


yes sometimes we do the there, here , there, here thing.
 
I don't even care to drive across town for a date most of the time. If there's a girl who lives more than 5 miles or so away I'll suggest we meet in the middle. If we got serious I might be more willing to go 10 miles or something like that.
 
My drive to work is around 45-50 minutes each way, 1.5 hours in the winter when the roads are shitty. So 40 minutes really doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I'd be fine with that /shrug
 
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
 
I left her a message saying I didn't want to pick her up and we should do something by her place and she didn't call me back so...
 
I had to drive an hour and thirty minutes just meet my current gf halfway.

I ended up getting lost and almost turned into oncoming traffic. Even with a GPS it was a rough time.

We'll see what happens tomorrow. I see her 3x a week so it's going to be strange if it doesn't work out...

Oh well even better then. Seriously, she should have agreed to meet halfway or not at all.

Is she a coworker or something? What's the situation between you two? What circumstances led to her throwing herself at you so to speak?

Yeah, she's someone I see at work. She's attractive, she seems rather lonely. I don't know, it's hard to tell what's up with people sometimes. She seemed really eager to go, she approached me 2x to follow up. Maybe she'll call me back tomorrow.

Well do you at least like her in that way at all? If she's serious then you could work something out. Still, the distance and travel time is really all personal preference. I didn't mind driving to see my GF back in the day 40-60 minutes there and then back each time, but it used a lot of gas and usually we ended up just going out somewhere random and spending $40 for dinner at a TGIFridays or Applebees or if I was unlucky, more at an Olive Garden because she loved that shit then going back to her parents house to watch TV in bed. She rarely wanted to come down to me though. So I was putting more in than I was getting back. So make sure to think everything out. Don't be the one who is always driving there. Trade off. Take turns. Or always meet in the middle and if you decide to, alternate whose house you go back to when things get serious.

If she works there with you anyway, then you could do things after work and stuff and save driving time. What is the relation of the work location relative to both your houses? Which one of you drives further for work?

She drives much further. Work is only 5mins away from me. I don't know why she wanted me to drive 40mins and pick her up at her house and bring her all the way back to my area to see a movie when there are movie theaters by hers (unless she had something else in mind). But she has a car too, so the whole thing is confusing.

Uhhhhh

That's a pretty straightforward invitation to take her back to your place

Maybe but I know absolutely nothing about her and I'd like to get to know at least a little about a person before jumping into bed with them. That's just how I am. Plus I have to work with her a few times a week so it would be uncomfortable if it didn't work out well.

I'll give her another call tomorrow and see if she returns my call, if not I'll speak to her next week at work and see what's up.
 
My girlfriend lives 45 minutes away from me, and lives on campus 1 hour away from me. I've only driven to pick her up and head back my way 3 times so far. She gets that the drive is pretty tiring, so we usually hang out at her house or do stuff by her town.

Good for you. Good luck.
 
Depends on hotness, and willingness to give me choice of ideas for the date if I were making a big trek...

I don't have to worry anymore, but the most I think I've gone is about 30 miles.

C'mon no 500 miles and 500 more jokes?
 
I'm going across a country for a date. But I also live in an area where my dating pool is dead unless I travel for about four hours. Cultural and language barriers are a pain at times.
 
Drive to her place, make a move, fuck her and then drive back. I just saved you 40 minutes and gas. That 40 minutes driving back will be just you playing music and fist pumping.
 
Took the bus once down to niagara falls from downtown Toronto for a date, only to be stood up. So I would travel about an hour or two. .

She expects me to pick her up (40mins), back to my place (40mins), then drop her off again (another 40). I'm beginning to have 2nd thoughts.

I actually made a drive like this years ago, like in 2003. Picked her up from the train station in NJ, because she went to school in NYC. She was a model...it was worth it at the time. She turned out to be kinda nuts, though, Would not do it nowadays; I am old and it's not worth the hassle.
 
I expected this to be hours or something not 40 minutes. 40 minutes doesn't sound that bad to me. If she drives though you should just agree to meet somewhere halfway, to keep it simple and easy/convenient for the both of you.
