Here's what I mean by that: In a new relationship, my experience has been, seeing each other often builds the relationship. A weekend relationship? And, honestly, I can't do the trip thing every weekend because I have stuff to do. Who has time to do the drive/meet every weekend? I understand that if it develops, then stayovers come into play and it becomes better.
Maybe I'm just nervous, tired and not thinking clearly?

2 hours!!D'oh! for focks sake! try 5000 miles ,,,nah you got it too easy I think, Let us know how it goes,,,please,,,and good luck ,,take a chance, two hours is nothing,

2 hours is a jump in the hay, specially where I live, everywhere is driving distance. Now if the question was about a longer distance......run.....simple as that, you'll get your ass burned.....runhelp

2 hours in nothing!!! laugh.... for many people living in cities it takes over and hour to drive to work.... it takes me circa 3 hours to go home for the weekend... in the grand scheme of things it's not very much.... all the more reason to give this budding relationship a chance... in time you will be able to decipher whether this is worth pursuing or not.... if it is.. you won't even think about the journey...u'll be too busy looking forward to seeing the person... good luck wine grin

In response to:
will give you some advice i recently handed out to a friend of mine...........BREATHE!!!! you are rushing things, this is just a meet ......quit planning your life already!!!! it's worth pursuing because there is an interest.....if you meet and hit it off wooohooo cool keep goin...........if you don't oh well no harm no foul and you had a (hopefully) good weekend out of it!!!Never hurts to try


I agree..thumbs up while you do have to consider certain things and not be completely blind... its a little ott to start thinking years down the line after the first couple of meets... if all goes well then wonderful!! and in time these things will just fall into place like they're meant to wine

Personally, I think if someones 2 hours away then it always turns out to be more trouble than it's worth. I've had a few relationships such as this and they usually fizzle out in the end. The one time I did relocate to live with someone 100 miles away for a year, I just couldn't settle in the town and also missed my friends and life here.

Also, like you stated about yourself, I also had other things to do, had my son around, housework to catch up on because I work all week, I even work some weekends so it interfered with that, missed seeing my friends also on a weekend.

If I were you I'd still go though, at least you get a nice weekend out of it if nothing works out long term wine

2 hours means merely nothing applause
I would enjoy to drive 2hours, to have 2 hours of flight, just as to walk 2 hours to meet someone special wine

I now live 1100 miles from where I did this time last year and I'm really, truly at home for the first time in my life.

2 hours is nothing! You waste more time than that each week with frivolous activities.

Or look at it like this: The time I've spent being blissfully happy in the last year has already exceeded my drive time (moving included!) by considerably more than a hundred percent!

So, if it's "return on investment" that you're concerned about, then ask yourself this: "What's two hours compared to what may be the rest of my life?"
