It's not funny, it makes sense. Imagine what would happen if you are living in zone 3+, and your friend/partner lives in zone 3+ on the _opposite_ side of London. You could easily have a 90 minute travel time between those two points. In most places a travel time that long would count as being in another city.
- quickthrower2 7y agoWell you could’ve move in with your partner, and meet your friend somewhere. I get what you are saying but London is damn expensive so living out a bit makes sense for many people.
- lazyasciiart 7y agoMost people go through a period of time where they are 'dating' someone but not ready to move in.
- quickthrower2 7y agoYep this is the stay over for the weekend (and some weeknights stage). Totally doable up to a 2hr commute.
- Engineering-MD 7y agoBut it reduces the conversion of initial dating to something more permanent. Living nearby and being able to meet up at the last minute with little effort makes it so much easier, I think it’s why socialising at university is so much easier. Living further away requires a greater activation energy to lead to stable bonding.
- cs02rm0 7y agoThat's not a reason to live in central London just in case it happens, unless you're that myopic you can't imagine meeting some from Reading, or further afield.
