I wouldn't. I'd take a day trip to [insert location here] for me, i.e. to explore in order to expand my horizon, see new things, take in the environment, etc. If I found someone who interested me I'd talk to her. But I would not make 'practice flirting' my sole purpose of the trip. Be your own man first.
I'm with you on this!
Practice your interaction skills by all means (with both men & women) but I wouldn't make it the sole purpose of the trip. Focus on it too much and you're bound to come off uncomfortable and unauthentic. I can't see that getting you too far.
Does it have to be New York btw? I mean isn't there a town a few towns over that has some kind of attraction, a museum, fun park **insert whatever interests you here** where you can go and have a day to yourself, learn something new, practice your interaction skills with a wide variety of people, improve your confidence and maybe not freak people out? I mean New Yorks seems a little unrealistic as a first time practice.
Wow, so apparently half of the guys on this forum are completely incompetent when it comes to the realm of holding a simple conversation with a decent looking girl.
I personally think that's a bit exaggerated. Go to NYC to soak in the city, hit up some museums, go to restaurants or Broadway, SOMETHING besides just simply wanting to practice hitting on girls.
I think it sounds like a great idea too, but then I'm a traveler by nature, and who cares what the excuse for the trip is. Just go, have fun, take in several types of places, and flirt with lots of girls, whether they're attractive or not--just for the sheer joy of it. And then come back here and let us know how it went.

Oh! Once again you hit the nail on that one. 2 REPS!!!
I have "practiced flirting" before. I'm not too terribly embarassed to admit it, it is a skill, and I am very inconsistent with it - with some people I just drop the ball completely. I don't think there's anything wrong with hanging out in a bar, or something, just to talk to people.
I would not take a 2-hour trip for the purpose of hitting on women, though. It sounds like the real problem is that you are too afraid of failure with the 'handful of women' that are in your town.
Do you have a job? If not, it might be worth it to get a part-time gig at a coffee shop or store or something that would force you to talk to people (not just hot chicks) for a few hours.

I don't think you understand what rural New York state is like. It's pretty desolate out here. I recognize people by their face and I don't know anything else beyond that. How can I possibly practice meeting girls around here without blowing my chances and being labeled as "that guy" with the few around here?
Location: somewhere close to Tampa, but closer to the beach

Agree with Moonie..go to expand your horizons, and if you meet someone, things will happen...Have no expectations other than just enjoying what you are experiencing..and you won't need to practice anything..
