I (early 30's) had a great first date with a woman (late 30's) I met a single's mixer. I like her and I want to go another date with her, but I'm worried how we're suppose to progress into a relationship. There are some blockers:
We live almost 90 minutes away from each other, and this is with decent traffic.
She's an early bird and I'm a night owl. She gets tired around 9-10pm and sleeps around that time. We both live far from the exciting spots of our city meaning we'll miss out on a lot fun nightlife here and thus making plans for dates harder.
We both live with family, no option to spend the night while we're in the dating phase. She doesn't have sex outside of a relationship, which is fine for me, but that means getting a hotel room for the night isn't an option as well.
I feel like weekday dates are out of the question because of these problems. I always imagined that with the more dates I have with a woman, the bigger things we'd to together, the more frequently we'll see each other, and the more personal time we'll have as well. Building that rapport over time and ultimately ending up committing to a relationship. It doesn't seem like we'll be able to achieve any of three things, so I'm not sure how that last step can be achieved.
Our living arrangements are a chicken and egg problem. Can't get geographically closer to each other without being in a relationship, can't get in a relationship if we don't spend more time with each other, hard to spend more time with each other if we aren't geographically close to each other.
I want to make this work, I just don't know how.
