First date was nice. thinking ahead

Hi,

After talking online for about one and a half months, we met each other tonight and it was nice.
She's a lovely person, very kind and has good intentions.
Hopefully she has good thoughts about me too.

There's one thing that bothers me.
She's about 45 minutes driving away from me, when there's no traffic.

It's quite much I'd say, and I don't know if I'd be able to handle it - both time wise and financially.

What's your opinion on that matter?

She is 45 minutes away...not 45 million miles.

People who really like each other usually make the effort. Maybe you should take turns and share the expense. She comes to you once a fortnight, then you go to her the fortnight after,
