Dating in NYC is no joke, it’s like another job I don’t have time to apply for. I mean updating my resume is time consuming enough, now I have to keep up with a dozen dating profiles to make sure I’m flawless and perceived to be the perfect match! It’s exhausting, I’d rather someone else do it for me….aka a wingman. Wingman app does just that actually, which is why I’m giving it a shot. In the app you nominate someone to be your wingman that helps set up your profile and approve/connect you with matches. No one knows me better than my own sister, who thank goodness only had good things to say about me when she wrote my profile. I trust she’ll help me vet through the creepers and pick out a stallion of a man.
In general dating in NYC is tough. You have to put in effort, or just be #blessed to find someone. I’m in an interesting predicament, because I don’t feel I “need” anyone right now. What I mean is that naturally I’m a very independent person, and on top of that I’m very dedicated and passionate about my professional and personal goals. In other words, to be frank, I’m kind of selfish. I’m in my 20’s and I’m trying to make the most of my prime years by focusing on me.
Now I’m not a cynic, and I’m quite a romantic believe it or not. I do value my relationships and love, and I don’t want to one day wake up 40, single, and alone. AHH! The dating pool in NYC is just so big and sometimes it’s easy to think that there is always someone better out there.
My relationship life in NYC has been like this so far. I either go on dates with people I don’t really like, or have the biggest crush on a F*** boy that doesn’t call or text me. I wonder why they even ask for my number. If any guys are reading this- please don’t ask for my number as a charity case. If you get my number, then use it!
I’ve been going on dates with people I don’t like in NYC because I want to give them a chance. I don’t want to judge every book by it’s cover. There have been cases where I thought a date was a networking meeting (awk), and low and behold it was not. It’s confusing with all the types of people you meet, intentions can get miscommunicated easily.
Thus far, I have yet to go on a dating app date, because online dating makes me nervous, and seems like a lot of work. I haven’t been swept up off my feet via dating app yet, so I’m just patiently waiting, putting in half effort.
I don’t really know how to judge a guy on the dating apps so I’m leaving it up to my BFF/Sister aka wingman. Wingman App let’s your best friend set up your profile for you and helps introduce you to your date. It takes a lot of pressure off having to write your own bio. When browsing the app you can also see what other people have said about your prospective date. You are only accepted on the app if your wingman sets up your profile, that way when you browse you can see what your matches wingman says about them.
No luck with boys in the city? Maybe your wingman will.
And that’s all I have to say about that. Let me know your thoughts about dating please, because we’re all in this together, right? I’m really hoping Wingman App will help me bring boys to the yard.
