Distance and how to get a reply?

I live in the far tip of Cornwall
Tried every website and app known to man for the last 4 years
There’s just no one local to me
Apart from the obvious answer of to move
What can I do to attract someone?
Post Covid everyone wants to buy a house in cornwall and Devon
But why does no one seem to want to date?

Same as FC on this. I’d rather spend all the time I have in his arms. The Dayuse room booking is 6-8hours long. That is where I’ll be if you need me. Just don’t call me when I’m busy! 😃

Perhaps it’s the beauty of the Cornish coast … too much distraction … yummy sea …

I think most apps are pretty poor and I have been extorted on several occasions .. and I was supposed to be tech savvy …

It’s nice to have some distance inbetween … but as others have said - it’s doesn’t want to be too far either .. but if you do connect - why not … I think it’s always wise to have a social … regardless of the situation or distance if you are just chatting for months with no commitment .. defo a flag

Paula99,

It is not that I say what I want. I say what I need and inject some common sense into it. If you don't like then fair enough.

Bit of both Paula99,

If you want to connect you need to show a bit of commitment. Do I need to say more?

Up to an hour travelling for me in the car, there and back 2 hours. Plus the time for the date or meet. Further than that you just won't have as many opportunities to see each other as you could do being closer. You would both have to be available on the same days for a long journey. Difficult.

Ttam01 - You said:

The more common response sadly is no response ie. no answer at all or a few 'your profile & 'message raise red flags' type ones which I'd love to discuss one to one as I've no idea what they mean.

Looking at your profile I notice you're 60 and looking for someone 21-59. Not even someone your own age. Then you talk about daytime fun, FWB, NSA. You also haven't included anything in what you look for in a woman. So, I'm not really surprised if women see some of that as red flags.

Syphyjohn..

By all accounts you don’t seem to care about what you say …how you say it or what you do ?.. don’t put us all in little boxes ..I make a point of speaking from experience and it doesn’t work for me but that doesn’t mean it won’t work indefinitely .. .as for making an effort do you speak from experience or you just venting your frustration???

Paula99,

Again, I feel a sense of either party not giving a f**k about making the effort. If you want local connections then fair enough, however, some of us have to work a bit harder.

In general woman are different to your herd of cows!! If we are ‘in need of some attention’ we are still very selective, and don’t just look for the nearest male specimen to help us out 😂

Ttam01..

Credit where it’s given for your ‘travelling /logistics post and you are willing to accept the travel time..but like you say some guys will use the ‘I can control my diary and travel with work excuse ..knowing full well it’s not going to happen ..
From a personal perspective a distance related’ affair is bloody hard work and the travelling drives you round the bend and this in turn leads to cancellations and less meets and so the relationship fizzles out before it has begun..

Both sexes are guilty of not being forward thinking 😊
