Is it worth dating someone who is like 2hrs away from you? But barely see them? Or would it be convenient to date someone who lives in the same city or closer?

1. Long distance relationships aren’t for everyone.
   The problem is – you might not connect with someone nearby in the same way; and it makes you cling onto the LDR.
   Realistically; unless either of you have some specific plans to move to the others city; then you’re both wasting each other’s time.

2. If you really like them, then it is worth it.

3. 2 hrs is a bit much for me personally. But I’d drive an hours distance to meet and hang out with someone. Don’t let distance limit your dating options. If you both legitimately want to spend time with each other, you’ll find the time to spend time with each other and the distance won’t be an issue.

   I would ask, what is it about this relationship that makes you feel like you’re stuck in a loop, and how does that relate to distance?

4. i’m in the same boat and wondering the same thing

5. I’d happily date someone who lived a couple hours away. I love driving/riding my motorbike, so it gives me an excuse to get out for a cruise, and I’m also more than happy only seeing the person I’m dating once or twice a week. As long as free time availability somewhat lines up, I wouldn’t see an issue personally.

6. depends to be honest. living in a larger city and spending time commuting, 2hrs is a fair amount of time but not a dealbreaker for me. i have to drive for around 1h to 1h 15m to reach my gf but if it were 2 hrs i would still do it.

   But I love driving and if i were for instance massively stressed out by it I might not see it that way
