be the one who comes to you first?


I had this discussion with my friend last night and she said that the guy should always go to the woman first regardless if the woman replied to him from out of state. Why would I travel to meet someone first if they contacted me to ask if they are too far? If I say no then wouldn't that mean they would come to me first?


That's how It's always been when women contacted me from the places below

NYC
North jersey
Delaware
Maryland
DC


So what do you think

I always met half way, some place fun. Examples are guy who lived near D.C. and I met in Philly and spent the day walking South Street, guy who lived farther (Vermont) and I met in NYC for the day. I would never go to someone's home or have them come to mine as a stranger regardless, so it needs to be a meeting place where there are plenty of activities. I would also never have driven all the way to a strange man's city if it were hours away, nor would I want them to drive all the way to mine if it were hours (because I would feel obligated to spend the entire day with them even if I didn't like them). People who are closer but still somewhat far, say north Jersey or PA suburbs, I'd suggest we meet somewhere like Marlton, Mt Laurel (cause it's close to the Turnpike for those who live in north Jersey) and just have drinks or dinner.

In the end though I stopped being receptive to long distance anyway, it's a PITA IMO, and when I need a hug, I don't want to have to wait days or weeks to see the person.

I am open to it if they are close enough when they can get here. But halfway is not a option for me because I don't drive. But I am planning to catch the train to Delaware in September because I did contact her first

Difficult to date without adequate transportation. Maybe it's a easy coast thing.
