With many relationships, the end goal is a romantic night out, a loving look into one another’s eyes and an invitation to spend the rest of your lives together. But in NYC, a much more tantalizing option is a romantic night in, not looking at your phones for a while and a spare key to an apartment with central air. Here are 17 things most dating New Yorkers would happily hear over a proposal.
1. “Know what would be a great way to save money? If you moved into my rent-stabilized apartment."
2. “I think I’m going to try to get into cooking.”
3. “The L’s not running. Let’s just stay in tonight and watch Netflix.”
4. “I deleted Tinder.”
5. “Good thing my Grandma held onto that brownstone. It’ll be ours someday."
