The fashion influencer came to this realization on Monday's episode of Summer House after the Southern Charm star couldn't help but share how perplexed he was by New York City dating culture. It all started when the 34-year-old Pillow Talk author asked Paige's best friend and costar Ciara Miller, "How's the last year been dating in New York compared to other places? Are you starting to figure it out because [Paige] tells me about how she dated in New York and I was like, 'I would never leave my house.' She went on dates with people she didn't know." Ciara countered, "That's how a date works." Taking a semi-playful dig at Craig's friend circle's dating dynamics, she also joked that Craig wouldn't know about normal dating behavior since all the guys in Craig's home base of Charleston, South Carolina, "date each other's girlfriends."

"In New York, you could meet some random man on the street and it could be the love of your life. You have no idea. That's why you have to go out to drinks with him," continued the Giggly Squad co-host, 30. Paige then dropped a small bombshell: "This is just another example of I don't know if Craig would really vibe in New York City. I think he'd be scared."

When speaking to PEOPLE in February, the reality star said she felt "zero pressure to move down to Charleston right now." "Long distance is definitely not an easy thing to do, but I will say, I think Craig and I handle it very well," Paige continued. "Obviously we will argue about certain things, but I love being with my friends during the summer. I love living in New York. I love going to the Hamptons on the weekends. He's very supportive of that." But while Paige doesn't think Craig can hang in the Big Apple, he has teased possibly making the move to New York City. "I think the next year or two has a lot of my time spent up here, especially with her career taking off," he said at BravoCon 2022.
