So I’m intrigued to what people on here think is to close for potential meets?

Iv always had a Fantasy of like a hot house wife a few doors down!

And Iv always seem wonen and couples state they want local meets only!

Any feed back is greatly appreciated x

I won't meet guys from my home town, and rarely within 10 miles. It's too close to home! I don't necessarily want to bump into a previous meet over the asparagus in Tesco......

I think 30 miles is going to be the closest I’ll actually end up meeting though, being somewhere so rural.

Unfortunately I find very few fab chaps local to me sexually attractive!

I couple of years ago I had a few meets with a hot young guy who lived about 10 minutes walk away - but sadly he moved to London!

Generally speaking though I’d be very cautious about meeting someone very local!

They’d need to be discreet enough not to say anything incriminating if I saw them out and about with my kids or friends, for instance - though I’d be happy with a simple ‘hello!’

I’d also need to be sure that they weren’t discussing the fact that I’m on fab with their friends/people they know in my local area - as I don’t live in the most broad minded of towns!

All in all - there’s a lot of trust involved in meeting someone very local!

Nowhere is too close, we are good friends with a couple just around the corner who we met on here, it's a pity they stopped swinging as we had great fun but we are still great friends.

Yep, I'm definitely not arranging a meet with someone who lives in the same house as me . Although I do wonder how many times it has happened on Fab - a couple on two solo profiles being unknowingly attracted to their own partner's solo profile. Reminds me of Escape (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes. Or that cringe-making old story line in Corrie where Jack Duckworth made a video-dating profile as "Vince", a rich sophisticated music producer, and arranged a blind date in the Rovers, which turned out to be his own wife Vera

I used to have a ten mile rule purely for privacy purposes. Now I’m not so bothered but I think someone on my doorstep could potentially be a little difficult.

Ultimately though it’s not really an issue as no one in my locale takes my fancy

There and to the left a bit

Unless it was someone I was absolutely certain would be discreet and not pounce on me in Tesco then I wouldn't meet anyone from my town - beyond that though anything outside probably a 5 mile radius would be fine

Because I split my week between Leeds and Newcastle, I NEVER meet at home or surrounding.

I've had a couple of awkward situations bumping in to overzealous meets in shopping centres and stuff.

I keep my "meet life" separate from "real life";

Depends on who they are. If they are single, then I don't have any issues.

But I recently had a guy pestering me cos we were "Within half a mile". He was quite the hunk but... it turned out we were on the same street and he is married. He would message to meet as soon as his wife has gone out or gone to bed.

Needless to say thankfully we never met and I've blocked him as he wouldn't stop messaging me...

No wonder so many of you are rightly cautious...!

I've had some young lad pester us and messaging us constantly. Couple days later I saw him in the gym and I confronted him about it.

So I would say be cautious if the other person is to close.

Whatever you are comfortable with. If you personally feel uncomfortable with the situation, then it's too close
