How close is too close?

By *orwegian Blue OP   Man  over a year ago

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

I just got a reply "sorry, you live too close"

There have been numerous threads about how far we would travel,

But what about people nearby?

Is there a distance that is just too close for comfort?

They do say you should not s**t on your own doorstep. But lots still do. And some still will. So it's up to the individuals

One of my first fab meets (on old profile several years ago) ... we met socially first at an Indian restaurant. I walked as it was really local to me. Turns out she walked too. We were about 300yds from each other. I soon after moved across town. (This was Malvern at the time).

A couple of years later she moved across town. This meant she was now walking distance away once again...we were good/regular friends by this time. About a year later I moved into the same road....

Since then we have both moved again and are now about 9 miles apart....but still good friends, and her no longer on fab. We have several mutual friends and have met each other’s family (her parents, my sister)

I don’t think it matters how close as long as both parties are open and have nothing to hide.
