Dating scene in new york city

Find a Match. New York, New York

It may be the "concrete jungle where dreams are made of," but those dreams apparently do not include a dating life. New York City was rated toward the bottom of all cities in the U. The city was rated th out of cities overall, getting the worst marks of all cities when it comes to economics. It fared only slightly better when it comes to dating opportunities, rated th by WalletHub. To add insult to injury for singles, NYC has the highest average rent for a one-bedroom apartment among all the cities included in the survey, WalletHub found. Those units were three times more expensive than one-bedroom apartments in the survey's least expensive city: Columbia, Maryland. So even if a single person is going on dates, it can be tough to have any be all that lavish, because so much of their money is going toward rent. But it's not like that rent money was going to go toward an approaching wedding anyway, right?

I should have known the date was going to be a disaster when he suggested we meet in Midtown. In those days we used to say we got a nosebleed if we ventured above 14th Street. Having only lived in New York for about a year, I still regarded the men here like a zoologist observing a new species in the wild: utterly fascinated, but also acutely aware that I could be bitten in the ass at any moment. Getting to grips with the finer points of the mating rituals in the city, however, would prove a lot tougher than picking up the vocabulary. What I did know from my limited research was that New York men were far more forward than their London counterparts and, like Kenny, many of them could sniff out a new girl in town from a mile away. I spent the hour before hopelessly roaming the dance floor in search of Femi, who was promoting a neo-soul party in the Meatpacking District to supplement her underpaid internship at an ad agency downtown. With his all-black uniform and dark sunglasses, Kenny had a brooding allure, something like Wesley Snipes in Blade.
