There are a limited number of dating options where you live.

Which is why you are on a dating app.

She is a match that lives 30 miles away.

The conversations you had with her before setting up a first date were enjoyable.

Which is what motivated you to ask her out on a first date.

That being said, you are having doubts about driving 30 miles to meet her for a first date.

The doubts are based on the fear of coming across as too desperate in driving all the way to the city she lives in, instead of having her meet you halfway.

Is it too much to drive 30 miles for a first date?

It isn’t.

You live in an area with very limited dating options.

Thereby, it should come as no surprise that you were matched with a woman who lives 30 miles away.

Driving to see her 30 miles away is the smart move.

Instead of looking desperate, it makes you look like a gentleman.

Remember, you are both on a dating app.

This indicates that she hasn’t had much luck finding a compatible partner in the real world.

Knowing that she has had a difficult time finding a compatible partner in the real world, she is less liable to be too quick to judge a guy for facetious reasons.

To look at you as desperate, when she already knows that you are driving over from an area with limited dating options, would be facetious.

By driving 30 miles to meet her for a first date, you are demonstrating leadership.

Women are attracted to men who are assertive and go for what they want.

In driving to her, you are showing your assertiveness and a readiness to lead.

Additionally, you are making her feel safe.

Women place a high priority on feeling safe with whoever they are dating.

Safety is a major factor in how women go about choosing a mate, especially women on dating apps.

Driving 30 miles to where she is located lets her know that you care about how she feels about her safety, which makes you look like someone she can let her guard down with and trust.

She feels safest meeting you in a city she lives in, given that she is familiar with the area.

By giving her this, you have her feeling much more safe and relaxed at the date.

This makes for a pleasant and free-flowing first date.

Driving 30 miles to meet her for a first date has you scoring multiple brownie points with her before the date even happens.

What guy doesn’t want to have this much of an advantage before meeting a match?

You would have to be out of your mind not to want these advantages on a first date.

Whether two people live in the same city or not, most first dates never lead to a second.

Assuming you two get along at the first date, in choosing to drive 30 miles to meet her, a second date is as good as guaranteed.

The distance is a small price to pay.
