1/2 hour!?

WTF.

I lived in the burbs and went to school downtown (about 1/2 hour) ALL of my friends were at least a 1/2 hour drive in HS. Now that I live downtown and went to college in the suburbs, all of my college buddies (except the few that are down here now) are at least 1/2 hours away. It ain't that far.

It's an excuse not to go out -- and a shitty one at that. You're into him. But it doesn't sound to me like he's very much into you.
