If you dated someone who lived 70 miles (1hr 10 min) away would you consider that a significant impediment to starting a relationship with them?

What are your thoughts on this particular distance affecting the outcome of the early stages of a relationship?

As for myself, while its certainly farther than the optimum distance, I would not consider it anything major as long as I had a reliable vehicle, but I'd love to hear what others think.

Thanks

Tried someone that was 50 miles. It lasted all of 3 dates, and I was like "no way".

It depends on the direction. 70 miles northeast puts me deep inside Canadian soil. Regular border crossing can be a pain. 70 miles west is ok though.

For me it would be too far because driving gives me anxiety.

If it were a weekend relationship, I'd be fine with it. If they are expecting me to battle Washington DC traffic during a weekday when I already have a 45 minute commute? Hell no!

My Snugglybumps lived about 90 miles from me when we met. About an hour and 15 minutes away in slow traffic times.

Our "dates" were generally weekends at one house or the other.

Since then he sold his house and moved in with me.

I don't know, I've had way more fun than anything experienced stateside during my two cross border
STR romps, just saying... and hassle? Not anymore hassle than a toll booth would be.
