Female 🐠 - how bad is dating in nyc in your late 20s - early 30s? I’m going through a break up and obviously not going to look for anything serious right away but just curious on what to expect

It is exhausting! You might as well just sit in front of the mirror and ask yourself “how are you? What do you do for a living? What music/shows do you watch? Where did you grow up? Do you have siblings?” Over and over and over until you you’re Blue in the face

Not easy but so much better than being in a relationship ship that isnt right for you!

You have to treat it like a job. Sign up for the key apps like hinge and bumble when you are ready. Date with intent and you’ll weed out those that aren’t serious. Don’t go back to your ex because that’s more comfortable. You will find your person.

I love it lol ofc, everything has pros & cons. I have met up with a lot more decent guys in the bay than in nyc but there’s still good ones here and so much to do & eat. Even if the date was whatever, just think about it as an experience

People are locked down by that age in the city. Those that are still single by then typically have some type of personality issue.

Even for NYC early 30s is pushing it. I agree that a lot of quality people are already in relationships or married here by their early 30s

No point trying. Wait for chance and luck to happen at the right moment and shoot your shot.

All is well that ends well! My husband (an NYC online dating find) is amazing 💕

If your not looking for anything serious, it could be lots of fun

Can’t wait for Saturday to come so that my date and I can Netflix and chill, then having him sleeping over and I waking up next to him. Miss his warmth and miss giving and receiving cuddles. I like the feeling of having certain people making you behave in a more tender way. I’ve been literally longing for that moment for the week as I’m on a boring PMO case. Romance is not lost between gay guys! :)

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation
