How to say “nearby” without sounding like Uber

“Are you close?” can sound like a logistics check. “I keep things local because that’s the point for me” sounds like a preference. Same data, different spine. SexTok treats that preference as normal.

Lines that don’t make people flinch

• “I’m mostly meeting people in [area] — you around there?”
• “If it’s more than a short trip, I’m probably not the right match.”
• “Happy to chat; plans stay local for me.”

Local-first isn’t shaming travel. It’s choosing the problem you want: chemistry with someone who can show up. More pacing: skip the feed. Join when ready: SexTok.
