Date 2

Tonight we talked about Bostonians, a conversation I have more and more. This is the theory: (At the risk of sounding stereotypical, just know I’m assuming there are many, many exceptions.)

People from all over think we’re hard, cold, judgmental. And we are. But we’re also loving, passionate, and loyal… if you just give it time.

You can move to LA or the Midwest and find people who immediately befriend you. They’ll be nice to your face, and you’ll laugh and have lots of fun. However, it will be shallower, limited.

Here in Boston, we believe in something deeper, tougher. It may take time to break in, to find your friends and insert yourself into a social circle, but once you do, you’re in it for life. We offer friendships that are real. We’re sincere. We love people. We just need time.
