go on a friend date with eric in NYC

dates: June 2023 – September 2023

hi, i'm eric. let's be friends!

i'm interested in hanging out, in the spirit of meeting people and enjoying the beautiful city around us :D

past ✨fun spots✨: touring a media research lab, perusing art museums, gallery hopping, reading in a park, biking along the hudson river at sunset, trying new food, going to a classical music concert (chamber or orchestral), seeing a musical, checking out a library or bookstore, wandering around the city and stumbling across the Gossip Girl school, taking photos of sights and non-sights, walking across bridges, …

boundaries: strictly a friend date, not romantic. also, i'm more interested in friends than business connections right now, so please don't pitch your startup. anything else is fair game! i'm open to hearing you talk about your favorite media, pet peeves, how much you love your dog, etc.

who is invited: i think we all have something to learn from each other, and any of us could be friends if fate put us in the right situation together. my goal is to listen to you, try to be kind, and make you feel comfortable. 💚

feel free to make it a three-person thing, if you want
