Would you go on a 4 mile+ drive to see someone you really like? Because I am contemplating that.
I am sure that many American are used to long drives

I was interested in someone who lived only 120 miles away, and she thought that was too far.

I only date Aspies, and there aren't any who are single anywhere near me, so I have no choice.

And the ones who I have the most in common with live across the U.S., or in other countries.

If I have to travel, I have to travel.

You do - no need to narrow your pool down so much.

Live in Denmark, and I went to England 3 times when I was in a long distance relationship to see the person I was with ( was in Birmingham, solihull area)

And I visited ALONE. It's really interesting and exciting to travel alone ( lol, my fligth always changed in Amsterdam airport, so i got to see some interesting and nice stuff)

so in short: if it's a person you care about, then distance is no problem.
I even visited my friend who lives in Belgium, alone, took a travel buss to get there.
No big deal
