    He might come visit your town sometimes or you his/hers. 40miles is not a lot if you have a car or can take a bus/train. You or he/she doesn't have to just go on a date, go visit each other towns and ALSO go on a date. If date sucked at least you visisted a new place!

    The quickest route from Halifax to York (43 miles) is 1hr. I concede 40 miles isn't too far, but I get matches for like Essex and Portsmouth

    Unless you have a car and money very few are willing to regularly travel more than 3hrs for a date, let alone a relationship

    Weird. 40 miles one way isn't terribly uncommon for a work commute here. I wouldn't see it as much of a hurdle, but everywhere is different I suppose.

    The number of guys that say anything over 20 miles is too far is very high.... Personally 3hrs is my max

    If there was a hot girl 40 miles away waiting for me I'd figure out how to get there one way or another.

    That's what's odd it's set at 30 max
    Maybe if you a driving a Pinto.... Around 45min for anyone with the ability to drive the speed limit of most places in North America.

    You’re a bummer, if you lived somewhere like Brighton your nearest match would be 40 yards away. If I was looking for redheads, then I’d have to go a long way as well, due to the lack of gingers in Malta.

    Don't use dating sites so no. Don't they usually have a messaging system so you can chat with your match to see if such a trip is worthwhile or is it one of those instant hookup sites?

    Even if there was a highway from the door of house A to B that would be well over the speed limit
