And, let’s talk about the elephant in the room here. Unless you’re going to the airport, or you hurt your foot or something, taking a car is one of the least effective methods of transport around these parts. Taking the subway or bus costs $3, and it’s relatively reliable. You can also walk, or bike for fairly cheap, or even rent a Citibike or an electric scooter.
Meanwhile, if you take an Uber, you’re in luxury I suppose, but you are going to be sitting in traffic, my friend. You are going to be in a for a sloooowwww ride. You’ll watch as busses zip by you in the bus lane, and you’ll realize that you paid 10x more to get to your destination 10x slower.
I looked up the route out of curiosity, and it turns out you can get from Greenwich Village to Williamsburg in under an hour. It takes between 21-35 minutes, depending on if you’d rather walk, or do a subway transfer. I cannot stress enough that most of us would consider that an extremely easy and convenient route, and I don’t understand why the date seems so aggrieved by this.
But people did have a lot to say about why they think she’s pulling this stunt:
A functioning adult living anywhere in NYC asking how they will get to another part of the city is wild to me.
That means they aren’t a functional adult.
Consider it a win, she showed you how entitled she was before the date.
I think a basic requirement is being able to show up on time at any place in nyc without assistance. Anyone that can’t manage that is not dating worthy
I agree that this woman was looking for something… maybe she wants a wealthy guy who will waste his money on the slowest, most expensive mode of travel for some reason? Or maybe she wants to be pampered with no questions asked? Maybe she really does just have a lot of anxieties around traveling outside of her borough?
But I can’t help but think that this guy isn’t missing out at all. He can easily find one of the other 8.5 million people living here, and ask them out instead.
