In short, you\u2019re a keeper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Far Would You Go on a First Date?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before a glass of $7 New York City beer collides with your face, make it clear to your date that you\u2019re talking about the subway system.&nbsp; New York newcomers will explore all five boroughs, but experienced daters know the precise block and street where their romantic journey ends.&nbsp; You need to know if you\u2019re out of your date\u2019s range, if not their league.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If discussing the five boroughs has her brow furrowing, she may not be the city-dwelling New Yorker she chalked herself up to be.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokeo.com\/reverse-phone-lookup\">Corroborate her city of residence<\/a> with a simple reverse phone number search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Movie Clich\u00e9 Best Describes You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone is playing a part in NYC or following a dream that has been immortalized a hundred times on screen.&nbsp; So which one best describes your date?&nbsp; Are they a Holly Golightly escaping their past or rising up the ranks in a<em> <\/em>\u201cDevil Wears Prada\u201d-style corporate environment?&nbsp; Pray that their chosen story has a happy ending and that said happy ending features you as the male lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If You Had $1 Million, Where Would You Rent a One-Bedroom Apartment?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, you\u2019ll only need to find an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/cost-of-living-in-new-york\/\">average of $3,684 a month<\/a> to rent a one-bedroom in the city, but the price of rent will rarely be off your mind or out of conversation.&nbsp; Yes, even on dates.&nbsp; Accept that price comparison and real estate are inevitable ice-breakers.&nbsp; It\u2019s the elephant in a very expensive room.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Would You Show Me You\u2019re a New Yorker Without Telling Me You\u2019re a New Yorker?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be born in the five boroughs to belong.&nbsp; If you still can\u2019t drive but can cross a busy street without breaking stride, navigate uptown without looking up from your phone and instinctively fold your pizza slice, you\u2019ve made it.&nbsp; Given that genuine New Yorkers enjoy a good argument too, your question opens up infinite possibilities to debate the merits of the Yankees or Mets, Brooklyn vs. the Bronx or why \u201cFriends\u201d is terrible\/unmissable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the Most Touristy Thing You\u2019ve Done in NYC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your date can\u2019t laugh at herself, you might end up as the object of her ridicule.&nbsp; A constant source of mirth and scorn in the city is the tourist community.&nbsp; Everybody who came from someplace else has a story to tell that reminds them they were once new here too.&nbsp; Usually this will feature Times Square, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetravel.com\/new-york-city-worst-tourist-traps\/\">Magnolia Bakery<\/a>, the top of the Empire State Building or <a href=\"https:\/\/sarahfunky.com\/new-york-city\/insider-tips\/2020\/08\/03\/new-yorks-worst-tourist-traps\/\">being burned by a fake taxi<\/a> at JFK.&nbsp; You can both laugh about it now, of course, knowing that after just a few months in New York, you learned how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/what-to-do-when-scammed-out-of-money\/amp\/\">spot a scammer<\/a> from a block away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would You Rather\u2026New York Edition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The options are limitless.&nbsp; Give up bagels or pizza for a year?&nbsp; Go without heating in winter or air conditioning in summer?&nbsp; Share your apartment with bedbugs or rats?&nbsp; Lose your MetroCard for a week or your credit card?&nbsp; If you\u2019re looking to establish boundaries, there\u2019s no better way to find out where your date draws the line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s another one for you:&nbsp; Would you rather date a woman who is dishonest about her criminal history or her relationship status?&nbsp; Keep a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokeo.com\/\">people search tool<\/a> in your back pocket (literally) to ensure you never have to settle for either (note: additional fees may apply).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear in mind that however slick your patter and however much your date is laughing, she may still ghost you.&nbsp; This is New York dating after all, which is why it\u2019s a good idea to do a little discreet background research on a new suitor if your gut is ever telling you that something is off.&nbsp; Ensure your connection is genuine by validating important details like marital status, age, dating profile activity or even association to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/dont-fall-for-these-dating-scams-2\/amp\/\">dating scams<\/a> with Spokeo\u2019s confidential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokeo.com\/\">name<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokeo.com\/reverse-phone-lookup\">reverse phone number searches<\/a>.&nbsp; Do your due diligence, ask the right questions and make her laugh on the first date, and you may well win a second.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a single man in New York City, it\u2019s easy to become complacent.&nbsp;
