hailo's rules for Dating in New York

1. When you move to New York, you are going to go insane and feel hyper-social and like everything is magical--especially if it is your first time living in a walkable city. You should lean into that and make art while you do.

2. Then, you are probably going to have one insane situationship that you fall in love with even though they are probably awful at communicating. They might not even be smart enough to realize that they’re bad at communicating.

3. At this point you should start aura farming and understand what about them you’re so into, because it’s probably something you’ve repressed within yourself.

4. Your next step is to release whatever it is you were repressing in yourself and to get a little more intentional and make sure you go on nice dates with decent people who aren’t just looking to “experience life.”

5. Then you should get super into a project of some sort and also into yourself — sauna, gym, etc, until you hit the point where dating feels like an interruption of time with yourself, which you've really come to enjoy.

Take one date a week MAX at this point.

6. Then, once someone feels like a pleasant interruption and you have a crush, keep going, then boom!-- you have a boyfriend, a girlfriend, or a correlative partner.

7. Make sure that you enjoy hanging out with them, that you say what you mean, and that your values and visions for your future align.

That's all!
