Seeing as how most new york themed events are complete failures, might be time to start small first.
Normal, casual night out at a bar in NYC. We can determine time and place if the interest is there. Nothing forced, just come out, grab a drink or 2 and leave either alone or with someone else only if things turn out that way. Just a way to get to know some people on here! Girls and girls both welcome.
Any interest?
I've gotta echo my friends Nick8 and VB here regarding our Meet-N-Greets: I went to the one in NYC last Fall and it was amazing. The ones I've attended, both here in FtL and NYC, were a mix of men and women, straight and gay. It was all very LPSG brought to life.
As to the dancing: I work in a bar down here in FtL and we are only allowed two nights per month to "encourage" dancing; otherwise we'd need an additional piece of paper called a Cabaret License, which is both expensive and difficult to get, due to "nuisance" complaints from both police and neighbors.
Dance clubs exist here, and I know they exist in NYC as well. But at least down here they're in completely non-residential settings.
I was told at several establishments nor to dance there. One guy forcibly grabbed my arm and said, "Are you going to stop dancing or am I going to escort you out of here,".
Understandbly, you don't dance at pubs either. However, the managers/owners were just rude about it in new york city.
I lived in Manhattan for a year back in my late 20s, coming down from Boston where I was raised. Boston is a very cold and reserved place (until you crack the shell); New Yorkers are, in contrast, gruff, loud and tend to have a magnified sense of their importance (until you crack the shell).
Once the shells are cracked, you'll find both cities to be inviting and friendly. In Boston it's done by finding your "circle" and expanding it; in NYC, I found that replying in-kind only escalated things. Instead, I'd kill them with kindness: "please" and "thank you" goes a long way. :wink:
