NYC’s density, lifestyle, and related industries make it super easy to meet others and date without even trying for the most part but relationships are a completely different beast. Ghosting is a big issue in general when dating but can be worse in places like NYC. Having more options doesn’t mean having better quality dates, meeting people with substance, or finding those that want to settle down. The sheer number of people, better gender ratios for guys, fewer trading finance bros tech bros, culture, pace of life, personalities and nightlife can make NYC an enticing place to explore as a single person but it’s not for everyone.
There is much to be written about the New York dating scene to cover in one article but I will outline a number of areas for you to consider and act upon if you are in a slump, new to dating, unable to find a boyfriend/girlfriend or considering moving to/from here.
