One of the dangers of online dating is your ability to look at women who live too far away from you.
A general rule of thumb is to only search for women who live close enough that a weekly visit can easily be achieved.
Depending on your finances this could be anywhere from 10 miles away to a 2 hour plane ride away, for most men.
Now let's get back to the dangers of online dating long distance.
1. Setting up a Meeting Face-to-Face becomes More Difficult
Meeting someone for coffee is no big deal when it takes you less than an hour to get to get there and you can leave whenever you like.
Yet, when a plane or a long drive is involved a short meeting becomes a big deal and (most sane people) will think that if you are driving or flying a hour plus to meet someone you are expecting a lot more than a short get together.
2. You show up and she doesn't show up
Believe it or not some women make plans to meet with no intention on showing up.
This is just a fact of online dating and a minor annoyance if you are anywhere close to where you live, as you can do something else if you want.
However, after a long drive or a plane ride getting stood up can make you downright angry and feelings aside you might find yourself stuck in some place with nothing to do for a few hours or a long joy ride.
In the end, when it comes to online dating your best bet is to stick with women who live close to where you are or will be.
Leave the long distance online dating to those who travel a lot or have lots of free time on their hands.
