She said she had a lot, but the one she could remember was:“If I'm not your cup of tea, don't drink it. And if I'm too much for you, find something that's less.”Her advice for someone visiting New York City is to explore the place because there is always something to do. She said:“It's a city that never sleeps. It's literally a concrete jungle. There's so much diversity here, so many different types of culture. So, just really indulge in your whole day. And you know, you can always go to TikTok and find a good restaurant.”The next question was about how someone would know if their crush liked them. Amaya Espinal said they must notice if their crush makes an effort to pursue them. The other signs, in her opinion, were:“He plans dates. He talks to you nice and he also tries to understand you. I feel like in a relationship, it's all about understanding each other and just meeting each other at a middle ground. If he's not meeting you in a middle ground, baby, this is not an earthquake. So, let him fall through his cracks.”Answering the next question, Amaya Espinal said that one should do whatever they liked, even if it included entering a reality dating show. She said if they were in the right mental place and were confident enough, this could be the perfect opportunity.Also Read: What happened to Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene after 'Love Island USA'?
