Traffic and dating

I’ve found it really difficult to make friends and date here. People are generally closed off and flaky and looking for the next best thing. I grew up nearby so I have friends from home/university but trying to expand my social network has been hopeless. I feel like our city just attracts that certain type of transplant b/c the few friends I have been able to make here are CA natives

Same here, I grew up nearby so have a couple friends from growing up oe people i used to work with. But it's been a struggle to expand my network in the last couple of years.

This has been recent for me as I enter my late 20s, but being both single and watching your friends settle down and move away (valley/OC/SD) make this place a hell of a lot lonelier
