Any runners here?

Recently moved back home to the West Shore (Camp Hill/Mechanicsburg) and getting back into running it’s been years. Usually just run in my neighborhood but would like to find someone to go out on longer runs.

Dating pool has felt so barren here for me that I’m planning to move closer to a city

30 Upvotes

I live in central Pennsylvania, specifically the Clearfield/Centre county region. Ive been looking for someone within 60 miles of me for the last 6 years or so. I’ve genuinely joined 20-25 different apps, websites, or dating groups. For 75% of those sites, I’m lucky to find one woman who’s even 80 miles from me. I went to like a half dozen different churches looking for a community I could start in that was in my age group but In all but one of them, there was barely even anyone my age, man or woman. I asked for advice on changing my profile and pictures from men and women alike. I lost 80 pounds entirely from 24 hour fasting and worked out despite having a painful nerve and muscle disorder. I humbled myself and did everything to improve myself. I don’t drink or smoke.

I was 24 years old when I started this search. Now I’m 30.

In that time, I’ve only been able to get exactly one date that I immediately broke off after because she was trying to con me. I can’t name the amount of app conversations where the girl was even remotely interested on one hand. Several dozen matches and only a handful where the girl even replied to me. And the real life search was even more barren. A lot of married couples or elders and that was it. It hasn’t even been a “oh you just suck with women” situation where I just keep striking out (I wish that were the case actually at least I’d know what the problem is). I can’t find them or get an opportunity to talk with them to begin with, real life or online.

I’ve given up on this region. My family lives here but most often on these apps or sites, the women I was most compatible with were simply too far away living in the suburbs of cities. So I’ve decided to move to Indiana county so that I’m only an hour shot from Pittsburgh. I don’t really have any other options.

I don’t want to have to move just to improve my dating chances but I’ve done nothing but put myself out there for 6 years and nothing ever came of it and I’ve put too much time, resources, and effort into this area for me to keep wasting it here.

I don't live in Central PA, so i'm looking for some brainstorming help.

I'm helping a gentleman named Ahmad Collins — a husband, father, and Central PA resident — who is on dialysis and urgently needs a living kidney donor. We put together this video and his webpage:

https://www.thegreatsocialexperiment.net/upmc-harrisburg/ahmad-collins

We're trying to figure out the best ways to get his story seen locally. If this were your friend or family member, where would you share it? What groups, organizations, employers, media outlets, or community pages should know about him?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Male. 25. I've been looking into housing for some time now, but with my background and credit score, it's been hard.

I work full-time, 3rd shift, but I enjoy the peace and quiet. Mainly just sleep, eat, listen to music, or play PC games in my free time.

Thanks all. 🙂

purgatory Where to live near Danville, PA for one year?

5 Upvotes

My bff will be moving to the Danville area next month for a one-year position at Geisinger. We’re trying to get a better idea of where employees usually live, either in Danville itself or in nearby towns within a max 20min drive.

I’ve been checking Zillow, but the rental options seem limited and prices look higher than expected, mostly starting around $1,400 to $1,500 and going up to about $1,000. Are these normal prices for the area? Are there better websites, apt complexes, or local groups to check?

Any recommendations for safe and convenient areas would be helpful, especially places commonly rented by Geisinger residents, nurses, physicians, or other hospital employees. Thanks!

Visiter looking for suggestions

Hello! We are coming in for a long weekend to go to lake Tobias Wild Life Park. I assume the park will just be a day thing, but my little one struggles with long car rides so we are extending the stay. Is there anything else in the area you would suggest checking out? Best area to stay? Any suggestions for a family of 3 with a 4 year old who likes to be on the move is appreciated!
