Then I went to college in a neighboring county, then I lived in Ireland for a year. He then moved to another county in New Jersey and when I returned we were on opposite sides of the state. Now I'm in eastern Connecticut while he's still in southern Jersey. Here's to one partner being in graduate school and the other partner anchored by his profession! We've never shared a zipcode...here's to someday sharing a street address! When my boyfriend and I first met we lived on opposite sides of a county in New Jersey.

We have been dating going on 3 years now. Given that, I know people from the Peninsula or South Bay that won't date East or North Bay. No sympathy here. One or the other of us has a 6 hour drive up and down Hwy 5 once or twice a month so we can visit for 36 hours and then head home. Thank god for being on the same cell phone plan!

He was in Toronto, I was in Colorado. Fun! We basically flew to one or the other country every three or four months. It was expensive but the best we could do.

But that was just more of a gap between when we were together in college and when we were together after college. I have a friend who lives in the Upper East Side of NYC and regularly commutes to see his girlfriend in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. On the best of days, that's 2 trains and 1 hour of train travel. On weekends, that can mean 3 or 4 trains (because of construction) and 2 hours.

Any area within a 25 minute ride north, south, east, or west, is considered part of the "DMV". The minute you began struggling to get a great radio signal, you're venturing into parts unknown. Baltimore, for example, is at minimum, a mere 45 minutes, but is considered an entirely different state, as if its not even apart of Maryland. Anything past Woodbridge VA, and you've officially entered the South. And lets not even discuss western MD or the Eastern shore. Dating "outside" of the main beltway can be a definite non-negotiable.

Maximum time would be 30 minutes. So that means there aren't many people from Manayunk (NW) who would date someone in South Philly. A wise strategy would be dating someone in Center City, because then you can crash at their place and don't have to worry about that $30 cab ride home when the bars close and the public transport has been shut down for an hour. However, having said that, my boyfriend is over 3300 miles away in Scotland. Not strategic at all. It's horrible, but probably less horrible than driving the entire width of LA on a Friday afternoon.
