    Just curious, how far is too far for you to travel/drive for a first date?

    For me, it's 7 km (a little over 4 miles for you non-metric using folks). Because I don't have a car, and the furthest place I can easily reach through public transport in about 30 minutes is 7km away. It's also close enough that I can bike or walk home without too much trouble, if I need to.

    If I had a car, I'd probably still say "30 minutes," but that would cover more distance. But if I felt I'd really clicked with the person, I'd probably be willing to go a bit further.

    Idk. I like people who don't live too far. Maybe 20 minutes.

    Technically I could drive more than 20 minutes for a first date since it's only one time. But they'd have to live <20 minutes away.

    I'm not leaving my city for him-but hey, there's 11 million people where I live, so there's plenty of fish.

    I would travel half an hour, but I'd go up to an hour if we met half way [so still 30 minutes].

    Half hour maybe. I refuse to date anyone more than about a 45 minute drive away

    For me, 15 miles is probably the maximum I would drive.

    The gay dating pool is already small, so it's really rare that you will find another gay person within 5 miles that would be compatible with you.

    I agree with you, if both parties meet half way, 30 minutes seems fair. 45 minutes is the max.
