If somebody's not willing to travel to your borough, they're just not that into you! @bumble
Summary
If somebody's not willing to take a train, cab, bus to your borough, they're just not that into you." That's the opening salvo from a Manhattan rider who's got strong opinions about dating geography. She won't date anyone requiring a train transfer. Too much. Kareem, happily married and living with his wife in the same home, pushes back on her radius restrictions. She insists she's willing to travel for love, mentioning the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens as acceptable destinations, but draws a hard line at Staten Island. Her best date ever? Coney Island, complete with the Cyclone, beach time, and airbrush tattoos. The contradiction is glaring: she claims she'd go the distance but also smashes that one-mile radius button on Bumble. Still, her final verdict stands: travel for love.

So, what's your take? If somebody's not willing to take a train, cab, bus to your borough, they're just not that into you. 100% agree. I mean, no. I wouldn't date someone where I had to transfer trains. Yeah, I can do a different borough, but if I have to switch trains, I'm out.
Well, you drive, right? You have a car. Why are we talking about me? We're supposed to be talking about you. I'm married. I'm wifed up. I'm good. We live in the same home.
That's amazing. Yeah. On Bumble, I—I—I—I smash the one mile radius button. Yeah. Just dial your radius. Dial radius to the minimum radius. If you really want to build a relationship with someone, you need to date within walking distance. I'm willing to drive. I'm willing to do it all.
It sounds like you're not willing to. I think I am. I don't know if you are.
Would you cross a river for true love? I'm from Jersey originally, so I do it all the time.
What borough are you in right now? I'm in Manhattan.
And what is the furthest you would go? I would probably go to the Bronx, Brooklyn. Not to Staten Island. We're not going to Staten Island. Queens. Queens. Yeah, sure.
What's the best day you've ever been on? Ooh. Going to Coney Island. Coney Island. Yeah.
What did you do there? Got on the Cyclone. Went on the beach. Got airbrush tattoos.
I should try it. Sounds like an all day affair. Yeah, it has to be.
So, you're willing to go out of your way for true love? Sure.
And you're saying that other people who are not willing to do it are just not that into you. They're just not that into you. It's not that hard. It's not that hard. No. Travel for love. Travel for love.
You would—you would think it's easier, right, in a city of 8 million people. But you got to go travel for that love. You got to go out there. And now that is a tagline I can stand behind. Travel for love.
Mm-hmm.
