"First Time in New York" is the 12th episode in the second season of the television series How I Met Your Mother. It originally aired on January 8, 2007.
Robin realizes that she is in love with Ted but she can't bring herself to say it, instead blurting out. While recounting the story to Lily, Robin admits that she's never said "I love you" to a man before, as none of her past relationships have progressed that far.
Robin's sister Katie is coming to visit New York for the first time, and Ted suggests that he and Robin take her to the Empire State Building. When Katie arrives, Robin is surprised to see that she is with her boyfriend Kyle, who is in town visiting his cousin; Kyle is immature and obnoxious, spending all his time ogling attractive women in front of Katie. Katie tells Robin she's planning on having sex with Kyle, and Robin recruits everyone else to help her convince Katie not to.
The gang takes Katie to the Empire State Building, which they use as a thinly-veiled metaphor for waiting for sex. Katie gets annoyed and accuses Robin of being a hypocrite. She says that she read Robin's diary and knows Robin lost her virginity when she was 16. Frustrated, Katie stalks off to smoke.
Everyone reflects on the first time they had sex. Barney tells them a story that was stolen from Dirty Dancing. Lily and Marshall did it in college; they wanted to wait and make it special, but did it in his dorm room with Ted in the top bunk. In the middle of sex, Robin's boyfriend admitted that he was gay. Robin says that they only "barely" had sex, and when Lily says it doesn't count, Marshall realizes that she went halfway with her high school boyfriend, Scooter. Lily doesn't understand why Marshall is mad at her, because she didn't really have sex with Scooter. She compares it to being in the Empire State Building; they're in the lobby right now, and nobody buys tickets to get to the lobby. It doesn't count if you don't get to the top.
