Yes, you can!
PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS
- Forget Sex and the City . It seems like a very obvious statement, but we know that you still dream of finding your Mr. Big. Forget it. Forget everything. Until they leave you through a post-it. Today New Yorkers don't even bother to inform you that they don't want to see you again.
- Download all possible dating apps : From Tinder to OKCupid. And take time and thought to fill out your profile. Stay connected to them always . Flirting in person is overrated.
- You'll only get one chance. The city is ultra-competitive at all levels and never sleeps, because there is no time for anything. And less to flirt. A date should be effective, efficient, and not leave you with the feeling of wasting the most precious thing in New York: YOUR TIME.
First question: where do you live?
ACTION PLAN
- First question: where do you live? Be careful what you say: something as seemingly harmless as revealing the neighborhood you live in contains a lot of information. The main? A rough idea of the money you earn and a clear conception of the type of person you are and the type of leisure you are looking for. If you live in the East Village you will still feel like partying, if you live in the Upper West Side you will probably have a better income, but also less desire to go out every night.
- Distance relationships have another nuance here . Related to the previous point. You to Brooklyn and I to the Bronx. That's considered a long-distance relationship in New York. And an element that New Yorkers study long before letting themselves be carried away by romance. We are talking about spending more than an hour on the subway there and another hour back to see each other.
- When you think your date has become a successful networking event, everything is going well. You will have a second date.
- Size Matters. The one with the wallet. Money matters. The work too. The more contacts.
- Climate talks are not superficial. They are essential for a good date. It is the favorite theme for New Yorkers.
You'll only get one chance.
- That and what New York is the best city in the world . Say it more.
- That's why, or mention that you would like to live somewhere else. Traveling is fine. It's very nice. Wanting to live in any other city in the world other than New York is wrong.
- surprise him . It is probably the most difficult thing to achieve with a New Yorker. They think they have it all, have seen and tried it all. But they are wrong, there is always something new to discover. Of course, it will be difficult, but after an arduous search between the lists of 'Things about New York you never knew' and 'Secrets of New York', you will find that plan that will leave you with your mouth open.
- New York pizza is the best in the world . Remember it. Tattoo it. I love NY is synonymous with I love Pizza. Do not joke with that.
- Beat him by the stomach. But you don't have to cook. Moreover, you must not cook. Nobody cooks in New York. It is not a rising value at the beginning of a relationship. But if you take him to the best ramen place in town, or to try the best tacos, you've succeeded.
the workaholic
- Learn the concept 'rotation' (rotation) . He or she may be dating different people at the same time. It is his particular way of casting. May the best win.
- Meeting people in New York is easy Getting to the second date is almost science fiction.
- Be cool. The coolest.
- Take a Broad City and Girls marathon to understand the current rules of the game . And drop that you have seen them. Forget everything you thought you learned in Friends, and as we already told you, in Sex and the City.
- You should be prepared to meet these New Yorkers: the cultureta that knows them all; the workaholic; the model; the actress; the one who does not know where Spain is; the one who believes that guacamole is typical in your gastronomy. And that you know how to dance sevillanas. Everything at once.
- You must be prepared for meet all the previous hookups while you hook up with the current one. It's amazing how small New York is sometimes.
surprise him
CONCLUSION
- If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere Sinatra sang in New York, New York. And this should be your motto also when flirting: if you get it in New York, you'll get it anywhere. Don't despair.
- And if you succeed, you are in the ideal fairy dream city: overflowing with romantic plans, cheesy moments and cinephile love.
