New York Dating

New Yorkers like to think that they know everything about everything. Always the first to a wise crack, they are brought up with a street mentality which forces them to be the first person in any room to speak just in case they lose their chance and someone takes them down in this dog-eat-dog world. Like anything in New York, you have to fight to get the best dates because in a city of millions there’s only a minority of high-status city kings and queens who all the others want. In short, you have to good to get ahead with dating in New York.

                The rhythm of love used to flow through the concrete of the streets back in the day before every piece of information in this world was packed up into digital form but now we all share using the Internet, even New Yorkers. You have to use every tool at your disposal to stay ahead of the game and ghetto traditionalists often get left behind when their rivals use online dating sites to get with the local girls. Internet dating sites are not just for long-distance relationships after all, with many useful local applications.

                They talk about a New York Minute as a unit of time when a million things can happen and everything can change so there is only one way to stay on top of shifting trends and that is to plug into one of the city’s many blogs to see what is en vogue at the very second you’re asking her out; if your smartphone is hooked up then you might be too by the end of the evening. Don’t get caught out at a spot that the rest of the hood wouldn’t be seen dead in, and make sure you’ve got a booking.

                One of the most useful apps you can find in the busiest city in the world for singles are geo-localised dating services. Wherever you are in the city, whether it be on Liberty Island or a café in Brooklyn, you can use GPS and Wi-Fi to locate other singles who are also using the service. They might be a few blocks away or in the next building but if you are both looking for company then you could be meeting up within ten minutes for a date. It just shows that the world is now changing as much as the city so we ALL have to keep up.
