The topic here isn’t a one-hour drive, but more a plane, train, bus trip (or a much longer Uber car ride). Many people do travel a distance for dates, so here are some tips that can help you make the most of the journey.
When possible, plan a few extra days.
In a best-case scenario, you may get another date for the day after. If not, take some time to enjoy a new city. This can also lead to some great conversation starters either before, or at, your in-person date. Ask the other person what they enjoy about the city, and what they recommend be seen, you can even research together. This can also extend to favorite food places or other recommendations.
Having this additional element of communication is a great plan. It can also show, that you are willing to take that extra day or two and commit to the possibility of the relationship growing. Even if you do not see the person you are going on a date with again, you are still allowing time to have an adventure.
Pack the necessities early. To determine what these are, decide what you will be doing on your date. It can make sense to plan, or at least make loose plans, in advance of leaving to get to whichever city the date will. It makes for an easier time of packing for the trip. In addition, look into the weather to determine if you need to bring specific clothing that you may not have otherwise thought of.
Once you have decided what type of clothes you need, determine whether or not you would like to check a bag. For a small weekend trip, it is sometimes possible to wear one set of clothes and pack another (or two) in your personal item (backpack). This can be a great way to save some money.
Traveling to meet someone you meet on the phone chatting line in person is a lot easier to do with planning and using some smart and simple tips to save money and time. Make sure to plan for a great trip that will be amazing even if the date isn’t the best, and have fun!
