Just say you find a woman and you connect with her and you really are attracted to her, but she travels by bus because she doesn't drive and the trip for you is 40 min on the freeway, how would you pursue that interest? or would you.......
I like a guy , not sure if he's interested, I have rare opportunities to see him, but have had some positive vibes of possible attraction on his part.. I don't know if the distance thing will kill any chances of at least getting to know him more...any advice would be really appreciated.

Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with the drive if I really liked her. Especially if I thought there was real potential for something serious. But also don't expect to see me every day. More like weekends, maybe one night during the week. Maybe more if I was bribed with a nice dinner or wild monkey sex. But that's just me. Also consider his drive to work. If he has a 30 - 60 min drive home from work then has to get in the car to drive 40 min to your house, then back again. That might make for a long day.

Sorry I'm a woman, but I'll give you my 2 cents. My boyfriend and I are on different continents for part of the year, and in the beginning it was an hour drive. Distance relationships are hard. Everyone is going to tell you it's impossible, but it really depends on the 2 people. I am a die-hard romantic, I am the most caring and faithful girl a guy could meet, but if you're pursuing this you need to be prepared if, worst case, she isn't. The beginning is exhillarating, but the most important thing is that you definately should not put your life on hold. And be prepared on down the road for tough times, because distance does make it tough. But follow your gut feeling, if this person is worth pursuing, do it. If it feels like a once-in-a-lifetime connection, like you guys could really have something, pursue it. Just really get to know eachother. A distance relationship can be like a high...you leave your every day routine for an exciting weekend, or a trip, whatever. It makes that person all the more special to you. And sometimes it kind of blinds you, because you know after a while how it would be if you werte together on a daily basis. But only you can know if you really have a shot at something great together. Go for it, just be careful and always put your life, yourself, and your goals exactly where they would be if you didn't have a distance relationship. And if it works, great!

What's a 40 minute drive? You sit on the couch in a stupor for 2 hours watching the stupid television or sit on the PC for hours at a time really doing nothing but chatting or playing games. So, what's a 40 minute drive to meet someone that maybe, you'd like to have in your life?

It takes me 30 minutes to commute to my place of work. Now if I am willing to drive 30-35 minutes to work, what is an extra 10 minutes for love, dating and romance?
