Drive me crazy
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Many singles have strong feelings about long distance relationships — they do work, they don’t work, or they can work with the right person.
But what about dating in the metro Atlanta area, where dating within the city can still feel like you’re dating long distance? Everyone knows that the few miles between, say, south of the city and outside the north end of the perimeter can turn into more than an hour of driving time depending on when you’re picking someone up. You might as well be dating someone long distance! You can make it to Alabama in an hour, depending on where you’re driving from!
Do you have an opinion on dating ITP or OTP, depending on where you live? If you’re not sure about someone you’re seeing, can their location in town tip the scales against them (i.e. living too far from you may make you realize you’re not into them enough to be driving that far)?
If you do date people across town, what do you do to help bridge the gap? Do you try to pick meeting places halfway between the two of you? Ladies, do you try to meet your date at the restaurant or lounge so you can both save time and gas money? How do you schedule around rush hour and problem traffic times?
What’s the farthest (or longest) you’ve ever driven to pick up someone who technically lived in the metro Atlanta area?
