futuregopher Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Hi everyone, I've been single for the past 2 months after my ex of 2 years broke up with me. It was pretty peaceful and she just wanted to take time to focus on her career after her May 2011 graduation. I personally think it's a quarter life crisis and not GIGS. She lives in the suburbs of Chicago while I'm from NJ. We met at school in Illinois (I'm an out of state student). I am 21 years old (she's 22) and it's my last semester in college. I will be working in NYC come January 2012 for a big 4 firm with roughly 60 hour work weeks. I would like her back but I am not going to wait around for her. I've been in a farm town in Illinois for the past four years of my life and I'm deathly scared of NYC culture shock. It's going to be weird working in NYC and all my friends that I've formed such great relationships with in college will still be in Illinois. I wouldn't want to date someone my last semester because I don't want to lead them on and have an LDR. My question is this - where do I meet new people in a big city like NYC? I would like to form a new circle of friends preferably outside of work and eventually start dating the women of NYC. Am I in for a rude awakening? Any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Wolf18 Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Good luck with that. People come to NYC for the money making potential, but from the human perspective its loneliness exagerrated by the immense amount of people around. Good luck with the women too. If you're an average guy in NYC you're going to be spending atleast a quarter of your income on moisturizer.
