3 Reasons Why You Should Date Locally*

Dating in 2020 isn’t easy. Believe me, I’m doing it! This year I wanted to start doing more things for me, that is my main goal for the year and part of that is putting myself out there romantically. I’m not proud of how much I’ve hidden myself away from guys since my last break up and the few disastrous dates that followed but after slipping into depression territory at the end of last year I really have to make an effort.

So local dating. Like Love Oxfordshire Singles, if you’re in that area for example. It’s something I avoided for a long time however, my last big relationship ended because of the pressure that was on it. We were doing long distances and we both spent a lot of money on seeing each other monthly. Between paying for fuel for his car and me with train fares we both had no money to live and in the end it got the better of us as we just weren’t in a position to move. So now i’m trying to date locally and here are some reasons why you should try it too;

It’s Cheaper
As I mentioned above, the financial strain on my last relationship was a big deal. We were travelling from London way all the way up to Scotland, sometimes on a weekly basis in an attempt to make it work, and in the end, we just couldn’t afford it. I had the commitment of a child and I could feel that he was starting to resent all the journeys he had to make. I don’t want to go through that again. I don’t want my inflexibility to come between me and a partner because I have to put my kid first. It’s much cheaper to travel around a local area, you can see each other for a few hours without having to then travel hours home again. That’s what you need in the beginning. It needs to be easy in the beginning. If you live in Derbyshire, you should try Derbyshire dating, simple as that.

Long Distance Is Hard
It is. Anyone who thinks otherwise is lying to themselves. You know when you have those hard days where you want nothing more than to see a loving face at the end of the day? Or if you just want to vent to someone and but face to face? If you have a long distance relationship you don’t have that luxury. Most of the time you have an appointed date to spend together and you need to wait until then. I’ve seen me crying on the phone to my long distance lover begging him to come see me but we both knew how impractical it was. Adults have work, some have family and sometimes it’s just plain impractical. Dating locally means you could just pop over for a cup of tea, or meet for dinner and it isn’t an issue. Sometimes you just need that 5 minutes but with long distance that’s pretty much impossible. But if you live in Oxfordshire, you should give this Oxfordshire dating site a go then you won’t need to worry about travelling miles after a bad day at work.

You Can Go On Last Minute Dates
Yes! If you’ve been using a website like Love Derbyshire Singles and you get message asking you to meet for dinner and you already live in Derby, well it’s a no brainer is it? You can be out the door and in a restaurant in a matter of hours. You’re much more flexible and it ultimately means you can meet more people if you don’t have to juggle work, family and other things just to get a big enough window for a date. It can be spontaneous and in the beginning, spontaneous is fun!
