When you live rurally, there's no such thing as a 25- or 50-mile date. There are people closer, just not the ones you want to meet. I'll go 50-100 miles for a nice leisurely meal (not a coffee), maybe 150-miles for a day together. After that it's called a "weekend" or an overnight and requires a pretty good connection first. But at my age I expect most serious ladies are retired or have (or will make) very flexible schedules, so after a bona fide relationship begins we generally spend a few days here, a week there, a weekend some other place, as we wish. Gives us each time at our own place and time off altogether. Long-term I'd want to settle on one place... probably some other place. I don't treat "dates" as if I'm ordering pizza and I'm not looking for lots of dates, so any drivable distance isn't really a thing. I enjoy the drive.

I live where I have to travel 30 miles to go to the dentist and 100 miles to see a concert so, 25 or 50 miles is nothing at all.

If first date means first meeting, keep the beer. I don't mislead that a meeting will become a subsequent date. But, that's the thrill of adventure...

I traveled 40 miles. But it was worth it.

I went from Iowa to Florida a couple years ago, though that was for more of a visit-date than for one night. In June I'll be going from Iowa to Massachusetts to meet someone, though that isn't as date-like

How about 1800 miles? On my trip to Texas and Michigan this summer, I'm stopping to meet a friend and then I'm stopping for a date. Should be interesting.

No comment, I need to see the target of that First Date. I got time on my hands, some money in the bank and lust is a creative aphrodisiac.

I'd say I'd limit myself to 50 miles, generally; but I'm going to meet someone in Hawaii this month I've been corresponding with now for several months. Hey, It's Hawaii! WTH, and I'm desperate. What can I say?

I actually had a minimum. Refused to date anyone in the same city limits. After my fair share of psychos I decided to make it more of a chore to show up unannounced, so I only dated outside of the 25 mile radius.

5 miles or less for my date.

I'll consider walking 47 miles...

In my case, it's less of 'willing to', and more of 'can'; since I have an eternal child, he can't really be left with others for more than a few hours at a time - aside from my daughter, I have noone else to really help with him.

Willing to go anywhere - but circumstances dictate otherwise.

It totally depends on the person and the chances of a possible relationship (and I'm not talking about sex).

Less than 25 miles. I have done the long distant thing a couple of times, and found nothing good about it, and l mean nothing. I would drive 50 to get laid, but not for a date. ?

Thats if I was dating, I used to commute to France every month to see my girlfriend but that became a little too much.
