Some info: Her bio said, “Looking for my Phil Dunphy” or something like that, hence the Claire reference.

I do live far away from everyone. My city isn’t a country city, but it is about 1-1.5 hours from one of the main cities in my state, where I work often and where I matched with this girl, so it’s not uncommon for people to be shocked at the logistics.

I’m thinking of first trying to get her to come over to me by giving parallel reason to come here, for example: Yeah you might need to set aside half a day or something, but this place has a lot to see. Or: Yeah it’s a drive, but we have the best coffee shops.

If she doesn’t want to come over here, I can wait a bit and say something like, “Lucky you, my motorcycle chain just broke so I have to drive to [her city] to pick one up before a long ride this weekend.” Or something like that.

What are your thoughts on proceeding and the messages in general?
