Single 34F Thinking of Moving from SF to NYC
As the title says, I'm 34F, single, and work in tech. I'm not completely dissatisfied with my life in SF--I have my small circle of friends, I take advantage of nature, events, etc--but having also lived in Mexico City for 2 years, I miss the energy that a proper city provides. I like arts & culture, walkability, and diverse urban design. I also haven't had any luck finding guys I'm interested in dating here in SF, and I've been rather depressed the two years I've been here.
My company is giving me the option to relocate to their office in NYC, so I feel I should just go for it since I don't have anything tying me down in SF and I've always wondered 'what-if'.
The main reasons I'm hesitant to move are:
- I've lived in SF for 2 years now and am finally getting comfortable
- Having to rebuild community/support network (I'm quite an introvert, and building even my small group in SF has taken a lot of work)
- The winters in NYC seem brutal (SF is too cold for me most days)
- If it doesn't work out and I decide to relocate, seems like a lot of wasted effort?
I should add that my main priorities right now are finding that longterm partner and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
What do you think? Should I do it? Or is moving to NYC overrated and I should just keep building on what I have going on in SF since at my age it takes so long to build a solid community?
