City or country: where the over-40s have more choice in New South Wales

The cities pull single people in because work and study take them there, so the field is bigger and the contact is often more fleeting. The country runs the other way: fewer people, but almost everyone you meet is somebody you will see again, and second dates happen because the drive is short.

Both work in New South Wales, at different speeds and with a different radius. What does not work is applying city habits to a small town, or expecting a capital-city suburb to behave like a community of two thousand where everybody knows who is newly single.

How far people in New South Wales will drive for a date

Twenty to forty minutes is the band in which a second and third meeting stays realistic. Beyond that, every arrangement needs planning, and that is precisely where promising starts quietly fall apart.

So set the radius generously, because it costs nothing to see who is out there, but arrange the first few meetings somewhere both of you can reach in half an hour. Distances in New South Wales vary enormously between the coast and the inland towns, and the honest question is not how many kilometres you would drive once but how many you would drive every week.
