or really south of canal, unless its TriBeCa, and only then if I like the cross-streets. And forget about Queens, or Bronx or a large percentage of Brooklyn.
I'm not the only one, although everyone around here creates their limited universe of where they will allow a potential romantic interest to live.
Recently I dated someone within a 10 minute walk. That was great, except now I avoid that hood since the BAD THING happened.
Actually, at this point, that wasn't so recent ago. and the bad thing ended up being a good thing I think. At least it wasn't so bad that I can't walk in the neighborhood now. Really, I can or should be able to go through the hood again. Actually, I look forward to meeting up with her. When I walk through the hood, I imagine seeing her and her little doggie and saying all the niceties and then how are you. maybe we get a cup of coffee for old times - or maybe she is violently bitter with me - but I try not to imagine that scenario.
Maybe this all is a good reason to expand out my dating universe. Right now I'm seeing someone from Williamsburg. That's definitely not too far away, but definitely not too close either. It's a good distance - one I prefer and is easier. Then again, I would like to date someone from the more southern/brownstone end of brooklyn again - although the people in the neighborhoods are awful and boring and smugly self-satisfied, at least there are plentiful trees and prospect park.
