""Dating someone in another borough on the opposite side of the city instantly makes it a huge commitment. I love that my boyfriend lives within walking distance from me. It makes a big difference being able to see him without a huge commute. It's a big pro.""
""Depending on where you live, 40 minutes is the standard and typical basis for going most places in New York, but if you're dating someone who is one hour or more away, that's so tough. You'd obviously want to see them multiple times a week.""
""I'd say it would be 'cooked' if someone lived in Canarsie, Brooklyn and wanted to date someone in Whitestone, Queens. That's a horrible commute. You're technically next door borough-wise, but getting there is a nightmare - trains don't connect.""
