is it worth going somewhere far just for dating?

is it worth going somewhere far just to try to find a date?
I want to try speed dating and go on a singles cruises to meet people to date, but I am concerned that my efforts will be money lost. Because I will find someone I like that lives far. I live in a town with a population with less then 4 thousand people center city and all the close towns are equally small so its so difficult for me to meet people to date. I cant afford to move. I have tried online dating. you dont get a lot of clicks when your like me not good looking.
