I (21F) am about to move to new york city just for the next 6 months and after this summer am feeling really hopeless about dating. I got dumped in May and had a summer in a different new city where I just went on a lot of first dates which were so exhausting. I went on a few consistent dates with one guy which felt so amazing and exciting (he was also so attractive) and we even had a dramatic goodbye hangout. During our final goodbye, he basically came out to me as oddly conservative (we don’t align) and he told me no woman wants a feminist boyfriend/ I would want to be submissive and he said empathy was a trait he doesn’t value or believe in. This really freaked me out and I even cried because I felt deceived/ like I was with someone who I so fundamentally disagreed with. This has just left me feeling burnt out! I feel ready for a fulfilling relationship but hate this process of getting my hopes up. Any advice on how I should navigate this in new york?
