City or country: where the graduate crowd sits in Western Australia
The larger centres pull graduates in, because that is where the universities, the hospitals and the head offices are. The choice there is wide and the contacts are often fleeting. Outside them the numbers are smaller and the intent is noticeably more serious: people who meet twice in a country town generally mean it.
Both work. They simply run at different speeds and demand different radii, and the people who do best in Western Australia are the ones who decide early which of the two they are actually living in.
How far people in Western Australia really drive for a date
Twenty to thirty minutes is the band in which a second and third meeting stay realistic. Past that, every arrangement becomes a project with planning attached, and that is precisely where promising contacts quietly die.
Set the radius generously all the same, because the map lies about distance in this country. What matters is the drive time, not the kilometres. Plan the first few meetings where both of you can be there inside half an hour, and keep the longer options for once something is already worth the trip.
