Since I always travel, and hobby as part of my travels, it's generally 3 to 4 hours.   I will admit I once drove 2 1/2 hours strictly to see an ATF for a 4 hour appt.  But that's rare on its own.

Re: I've been known to "invent" trips...

One time, I drove to San Diego just to see a lady because we couldn't make our schedules match on a couple of occasions. That is about a seven hour drive.

Another time, I had a trip to Seattle get cancelled on me, and had to cancel a date, so I invented a trip the following month. I did other things while I was there, but she was the main reason for the trip. That one was a three hour flight---and back.

If you don't include driving to Ft. Lauderdale last year for a M&G, I guess about an hour from home is the furthest I have gone.  Don't think I will go much more than that, since there are plenty of lovely providers within that distance from my home.

A post script, to go anywhere in the Tampa Bay area takes at least 30 minutes and more from any location in the area.  It's just spread out.

because there is not providers in my area If i want to hobby I must drive at least 3 hours ( to Wichita Ks) or 4 1/2 to Kansas City.

and every few months will go to NYC which is three hours.

My longest motor trip was to Buffalo, about six hours to see Bev and Ciara.

I thought it would be more relaxing than flying, but I'm not so sure now.

I dunno how far I will drive... Certainly for a Fav, I'd go further than a first date.  So far the furthest is an hour & a half.

6 hour drive and a 1,5 hour fly

No more than two hours locally, However...

...I do travel extensively for business which often means 1000 to 2000 mile flights.

Just for a session and maybe lunch.

Until I retire, will probably not travel more than an hour and a half to see a provider.
Then again, looking at your photos and reviews, I may have to make an exception.

For me to drive to NYC, get to the location, find parking, and walk the rest of the way to her locale.  I've had a few two hour trips also, when traffic and/or weather are factors, or when I go to places other than Manhattan.  OTOH, if I stay in NJ, usually half an hour or less.  Now, if you include once flying across the country where I coordinated vacation time to coincide with a fav's visit to Vegas, over 2K miles...

I have a fav in South Jersey who I usually see when I am in the area on business. It had been about four months and I was missing her particular effect on me so I took a little road trip two weekends ago for a four or five hour session...BOY was it worth it!

Now, granted, I was doing a mileage run on a cheap fare to keep elite status on my airline anyway, but still...

But anything more than 20 miles and I'm going to be both too tired to be interested and too sweaty for them to touch.

I have driven an hour each way just to have lunch with her.

but the metro DC offers ample numbers within those parameters; but I also often travel on business and get variety; if I'm driving rather than flying, and time permits, I've gone up to an hour out of my way.  The problem is that when you add in the appointment time plus travel, 2 hours is pushing it for how long I can be out of the office without drawing attention, and I really can't even do that very often; if I'm out of the office more than an hour, I couple it with a customer call in the area and explain it that way.

I like something more like 10 or 15. Hate to drive in traffic, particularly when I don't know where I'm going.

Depends.  If its a drive somewhere and return, probably no more than 4 hours.  If its a special someone and I'm going to stay in the area I am driving to, a day drive would be fine.  As a general practice wouldn't want to drive more than 1.5 hours on average.

Depends on the prize.

Drove 4 hours for an overnight adventure, once.  But, 1 hour is about average for me.

how much time I have available for the date.

but usually if I'm gong that far it's to see a dozen different ladies, not just one. lol
