How far is to far for a relationship ?

at one point i would have agreed with you all saying distance doesnt matter, but relationships are hard and are tested constantly when you cant see one another whenever you want... so if she or he means thats much to you i think in some circumstances its better to wait while you can be with them more, rather than have some half assed relationship that ends badly.
 
323 miles

failed after 6 months (2 weeks ago) but regardless I dont regret even a second of it. Go for it don't let it be a factor although it was ultimately for her. If you believe you can have something special with her/him, sod the distance and go for it mate. :D

If I can drive 6 hours for someone then I'm damn sure you can drive for a little over a hour, it's NOTHING. Hell you could see her every day if you wanted to put the effort in, I know people who travel further than that to work.
 
Last week I drove around 250 miles to see my gf (omg I was just about to write wife lol). It took around 4 and half hours of which it was worth it. :)

I laughed at that i must be messed up. :p
Anyways 60 miles dude is nothing for a good woman. I have travelled much further. Being my age i have met loads of women but there are only a few you actually click with.
If this woman has it for you then go for it Big style. 60 miles Pffff it's not even an hours drive man. :)
 
60 miles? I love the UK so much :D

60 miles is nothing! That's a CD (or two)!

And plenty of time in the week to booze and watch footie without a moaning gf :)
 
Shouldn't matter....

Apparently some relationships last because the two people in the relationship dont meet each other all the time.... kinda creates mystery...

I know of a friend of mine who likes a girl (another friend's sister), but won't do anything cos she lives more than 15 minutes away (20 mins to be precise).
 
60 miles is nothing at the moment my women lives in Walton-on-Thames in Surry, thats a 2.5 - 3 hours drive each ways. We see each other as much as we can.


After all love knows no boundaries ;)

That's ridiculous! So lazy.
 
For 3 years ive lived in notts and the missus lived in brum.
In between that I lived in cardiff for a year and she lived in brum.
Saw her at least every other weekend and then any holidays together 24/7.
Still going strong and tis worth it :} if its worth anything - you will make it work.
 
If you're already in a relationship, then it's nothing. If you're starting a relationship, then it's a big ask.
 
Before my wife and I married, I was living in Doncaster and Poland and she lived in Swansea. I'd make that trip every Friday.

Took quite a while and a lot of text-messages during the journeys!

Mine lives 88 miles away, but we've been together for 4 months with no major problems, other than both of us complaining the whole time how we only get to see each otehr at weekends. We're gonna make it work because we're both going to uni together in September.

Nice bit of advice, don't live together or even that close together if you can help it.
 
Leon lives 180 miles and a load of roadworks away. Takes me in excess of 4 hours to get there on a Friday because traffic is so bad. He also works shifts, which means I get to see him 1 or 2 weekends a month. We manage pretty well and are still very happy after 4 years. Hopefully won't be apart for much longer :)
 
Myself and Desmo were living 250 miles apart for the first 6 months of our relationship

I would spend hours on the train with 2 changes, I once caught a 6am train on a saturday morning to go and see him and also once drove up on a friday night at 8.30pm after I finished work because I couldn't go another weekend without him

He used to drive to me on a Friday and then leave at 7am and put up with all the rush hour traffic on the Monday morning just so he could spend another night with me

The crux of the matter is if you want it to work and are both prepared to put the effort in it will work ! and 60 miles is NOTHING !

I also think that for you to have a future at some point one of you will have to accept that you will need to relocate ... I decided to do this as it just made more sense :)

Hi

I like this girl but shes about 60 miles away. I drive and said i would visit every weekend or when im off. Is 60 miles to far apart (an hour drive) ?

I think not but she is a little unsure so just wanting the general opinion on distance relationships.

Thanks

Ummm well my gf lives on the other side of the world, NYC to be exact. So i think that sums it up really, the distance is hard to overcome but i do love her with all my heart and she does with me. a lot of trust involved as we dont see each other often but thanks to the internet i can stay in touch and if not then calling cards are a blessing in disguise lol.

60 miles is nothing mate, at least you can drive or train to see her. With me it costs me hundreds of pounds for a flight then about 7 hrs on a plane.....but would i change it?? NOPE not a chance:)
