I've alternated mine between 30 and 60 miles.

I received one match a month with importance set high. With importance relaxed, I get "flex matches" everywhere east of the Mississippi, including Canada.

The farthest I've met is 60 miles (close to three hours, and what I consider long distance.)

When I was your age, I was more open to a lot of driving, but too busy (evening student) to deal with travel (and too poor to do anything besides drive.) Today (at 38) I have become much more patient, and know I can accept infrequent time together. I am also more exacting in what I'm looking for, and I know distance can be fixed much more readily than character flaws.

I agree with the advice that you should use at least one other dating site, besides eHarmony.
