Lol yeah I wouldn’t move there if I were you. I’d move there if I wanted a house and land I don’t have to leave. And if I didn’t want to meet anyone new ever again. And if you’re a man looking for ladies… good luck

I wish the down voters would explain to the rest of us how young people would meet other young people in Ashland outside of the college scene.

I live near VCC and there's no singles scene here (under 40yo) and a lot more people.

Also near VCC. I drive into the city for all my “night life” stuff pretty much. Center of the universe is nice to have out here but I’d rather drive to Richmond than Ashland

Me too. My work, social and spirit center is in the city. The drive isn't bad as long as I moderate alcohol intake. It stinks having friends and dates mainly in Midlo and WE/SP though, but that distance would be an issue anywhere in the burbs.

I find short pump isn’t terrible but the midlo drive is horrible to make more than once a week.

It really is! 30-40min, esp. when you are just picking someone to drive to the city for a date takes up a good chunk of the evening. At least I work in the city and have dated women who offer to come up my way too. Gotta make it work!

I went to college there and there really is no way to meet anyone outside of the college scene.

Has OLD been a good way to meet folks in Ashland for you?

Bumble was like that for me near VCC. I had more matches with women in Midlo than anywhere. Unfortunately my home location shows as either Ashland or Mechanicsville so I think the West Enders and city folk assume I'm a Hanover Nazi.

Tbh I do quite a few single women that live in Bon Air/Midlo. I can see the appeal of those areas

And yeah, Mechanicsville sucks D: (my husbands parents live there so I have to go there pretty often) like most of the men there are the thumb looking Trump kind

Yep, I stick out when I open my mouth. One might think a "different" guy would be a commodity but women I know generally want a guy with a pick-up, local family ties, and conservative views.

There's a lot to like about this area but I am looking forward to my kids finishing school so I can move elsewhere.

I was kidding actually. But OLD is how you are going to meet people to date if you are living in Ashland because you aren’t likely to meet them where you live.
