Anyone ever live or hear anyone talk about living in lansdowne VA? I’m curious what it’s like living there for young families.

Classic suburban life. Everything closes around 9. The swinging culture is alive and well. So is the evangelical culture - many mega churches around to choose from. The homes are newish and nice in a cookie cutter way. Safe, quiet.

Grew up a few minutes away. Great area - safe, close to a lot of amenities. If you’re commuting to DC everyday could get a little annoying but it’s not horrible

Does it actually have that “get away resort” feel it claims to have (excluding the actual resort)? Or is that an overblown gimmick?

It depends what you mean by getaway resort feel - gated community vibes near golf courses and an actual resort and spa? Yes, you have Lansdowne Resort right next door, Lowes Island and other country clubs right up the road, and private, tranquil neighborhoods. To some people that sounds like a getaway and to others it might sound like a scene out of Edward Scissorhands. I don't have kids so the area is much too quiet for my taste but I could see the appeal for a family.

How do you know if someone likes you in the beginning of dating? I met this guy online who I thought was cute and we went on a few dates. He always texted me right after the date and always initiates another date right after or within a day. He’s been sweet to me (ie when I was packing for a trip, he noticed there’s dirty dishes in the sink and he just started washing them for me) but he never texts in between dates and doesn’t really initiates much physical contact (he reciprocates when I do)
