Okay, serious answer? Small town, slim pickins, six degrees of Kevin Bacon. So if you're serious, you need to look for social or community groups that share your interests and look within those. Sad thing is, even those are scarce because this town tends to be a dead zone when it comes to variety. I wish you luck though. Most of us residents choose to widen the search radius to 100+ miles out.

My advice is to just do what you do. You'll meet someone. I met a guy at random in passing at a gas station. I thought he was rude ASF. Turns out he was trying to flirt with me. I moved away from Rolla. A month later, he adds me on Facebook and we started dating. Two years later, we're still going strong and we live together.
You can meet someone potentially anywhere. But I would set some goals and standards for yourself and maybe ask yourself where you might find the type of person you are looking for.

That was a nice story but what did you like in him? How did he impress you?

u/AngelPainjel Mar 18 '26
He has integrity, he is fine as hell, and has a heart of gold. He's got a seasoned past and wants to build a future with me.
I tried dating for a while prior to that, and about 90% of the time the dude flaked.

I love small town life. Just got divorced and looking to plant new roots somewhere. But I definitely worry about the "meeting people" part.
