Gabrielle, 30; media educator for the DreamYard Project and contributing writer for Autostraddle; the Bronx
Her ideal date: “I like when people are thoughtful and create unique outings that reflect what they like and what they want to share with me. If I had to come up with the date, we’d ride bikes around Governors Island, flop down on the lawn for a picnic and grab some Blue Marble ice cream, then take the ferry back to the city and part ways to freshen up. We’d meet up later in Morningside Heights, eat at Toast and drink some craft beer. We’d walk it off along Broadway and if it was a Friday, head down to Hot Rabbit to dance our asses off. Finally we’d part ways and walk off tired and thinking about each other.”

Helen, 29; customization artist and events coordinator; Bushwick, Brooklyn
Her ideal date: “A date shouldn’t be a nerve-racking experience; the less pressure, the better. We can start off downtown at the Meatball Shop. This serves a couple of purposes: First, it’s familiar and comforting. Who doesn’t like a good meatball and a side? Second, I can make jokes about balls for about an hour. If things go well, we can hop across the street to Arlene’s Grocery for Rock ‘n’ Roll Karaoke to have some PBRs and watch people rock out and make fools of themselves. Perhaps we might even partake in the fun after a couple of shots. And that’s it…easy breezy. No need to get all fancy and drop a lot of money; you should always come as you are.”

Molly, 28, press agent, Upper West Side
Her ideal date: “My ideal first date is something low-pressure, like weeknight drinks, preferably at a cozy spot (think couches, a fireplace and exposed brick). And if we’re hitting it off, we’d move on to something more fun and interactive, like playing bingo at Tortilla Flats, walking on the High Line, or watching skaters fall in Central Park.”
