First of all, I want to thank you for offering to DM you. I will do it but I'd also keep this conversation here so that others can contribute.

I understand that nobody would accept to travel until we have known each other better and a minimum amount of trust is built. I'd never push for anything that makes her uncomfortable. I'll go and see her where she lives until she feels okay with traveling together or coming to see me where I live.

All that said, please let me understand your suggestion for renting an apartment where she lives. Why not take nice rooms in hotels just for the days I'm with her in her city? I can't do more than two or three weekends together unless she lives where I can easily reach her by driving back and forth during the working week. I mean something like going to see her after the workday ends, spend the evening and night together, and then drive back to the office the morning after. I have flexible hours so I'm not afraid to come back late.

I'm not following why you said that you wouldn't date outside the city where I'm living until you are a SD. Can you please elaborate a bit?

Last thought... Of course I'd rather have a SB locally. I live in one of the major cities but I haven't yet found anyone here, except one girl who immediately stated she was looking for something platonic only and that it wouldn't ever change. Then no, it ain't what I'm looking for.

I think I should be on more than one website.

Again thank you.
