How Far Would You Go for Love? A New Survey Says Most Singles Would Cross State Lines-and Borders

"According to the study, 65 percent of singles are, in fact, open to dating someone long-distance, while a whopping 84 percent said they'd even be willing to relocate for the right person. However, this data does come with some generationally specific caveats. 68 percent of millennial and 64 percent of Gen Z survey participants said they are open to long-distance dating, compared to just 54 percent of Gen Xers and older adults."

"Additionally, just over one-third of respondents said they "trust" long-distance relationships just as much as local ones. But here, communication is critical, with 40 percent of survey respondents saying they'd expect to communicate with a long-distance partner multiple times a day. As for how far that "long distance" can be, it appears millennials are the most open to international love, with 19 percent stating they'd date someone outside their passport zone, followed by 16 percent of Gen Z and just 11 percent of Gen X."

A survey of 1,000 single adults across the U.S. measured openness to long-distance dating and willingness to travel or relocate. Sixty-five percent of singles reported being open to dating someone long-distance, and 84 percent said they would be willing to relocate for the right person. Openness varies by generation: 68 percent of millennials and 64 percent of Gen Z are open to long-distance dating, compared with 54 percent of Gen X and older adults. Just over one-third trust long-distance relationships as much as local ones, and 40 percent expect multiple daily communications. Millennials show the highest international openness.
