How to Snag a NYC Fireman

He looks amazing in suspenders and a helmet, and he probably has an authentic NY accent. He carries a big hose. He rides in a shiny red truck, whose obnoxious loud siren screams “emergency!”, all the while making you nervous, anxious…and strangely titillated.

NYC firemen are hot, sexy, and easy to spot in uniform. But are they approachable? How do you effectively snag one? Below are the best practices on flirting with the FDNY:

  1. DO NOT mention 9/11. Bringing it up to a fireman is both a cliché and also a major emotional downer at this point.
  2. DO play the eye-sex game with the fireman who just caught your glance as the truck passes you by. This will give them even more adrenaline as they head off to danger. Remind them the best reason to stay strong: NYC women.
  3. DO say hello as you pass the firehouse. If the garage door is open, and the firemen are around, greet them with a smile. They won’t bite.
  4. DO NOT ask if they save kittens in trees. It’s been overplayed, ladies.
  5. DO understand that some firemen probably have yet to see a fire. I’m just saying…
  6. DO NOT try to come in between him and his brotherhood. You will not win.
  7. DO expect a real New Yorker. Most of the FDNY is NY born and bred. Reminding him that he’s a real New Yorker will stroke his big, NY… ego.
  8. DO let him know if you have knowledge of the FDNY, but DON’T let him know you know everything. Give him the opportunity to talk about his job.
  9. DON’T sleep with him on the first date if you actually want to date him. FDNY boys assume if you sleep with them on the first date, you just wanted to fulfill a “hero fantasy”.
  10. DO find him at the following favorite FDNY after-work watering holes:

No luck with any of the above? Just start a fire. You’ll definitely get his attention then!

The Love Lockdown Party Recap!

The Love Lockdown Party took place on Friday, February 12 at La Pomme.

Men were given locks and women were given keys. Upon match (and there were plenty of matches! Over 150!), they were given raffle tickets for a chance to win prizes, like massage gift certificates, and even a helicopter ride for two around Manhattan.

Photos from this event have been posted within the Facebook Fan Page of Maria the Date Coach and Flickr.

A big thank you to everyone who attended and participated! I hope you all had as much fun as I did!

New York City: The Flirt Capital of the World

Throw nearly two million people onto an island 2 miles wide by 13 miles long — 64.4% of them single! — mix in the hustle & bustle of teeming streets, bars, and cramped living quarters, as well as New Yorker’s typical nervy bluntness, and you’ve created the optimal conditions for flirting, dating and sex.
Single or married, on an island like Manhattan, with strangers constantly invading your personal space and anonymity a reality of everyday life amid fast-paced interactions, opportunities to flirt are just too easy to pass up.

And too much fun. The urban landscape is perfectly conducive to the thrill of a quick bat of the eyelashes, alluring look, or playful comment. Busy sidewalks, crowded streets, outsize egos, narrow bars – only in New York City are you served flirtation on a heart-shaped platter. Eyes dart around, capture the glance, linger just a moment longer, and as quick as the interest has sparked, so it passes. Everyone has some place to go. New Yorkers can be as social as they want, but equally anonymous.

The opportunities here are endless: Holding the gaze of someone on the 6 Train, backing into someone at Banc Café, scoffing together at Shake Shack’s endless line, or sharing a smirk at La Pomme as you pass by the stripper poles.

New York City oozes sex appeal. It begs for you to flirt, since its very design and infrastructure encourages close interaction. It’s up to you to capture the moment and take a bite of the Big Apple.
