Reply to comment by LockedOutOfElfland in Maine residents - what do you find positive and negative about your state's low population density? by LockedOutOfElfland

Dating in this state is horrible.

I wondered about that when I was there. At the very least do Bar Harbor, Stonington etc. residents stand a good chance of finding a hookup or week long fling with the summer tourists via dating apps?

I live in a lake region inland where our population at least triples in the summer. Personally I stay away from dating tourists, but I'm 39 and not interested in flings. Most people my age left for college and never came back. Those who did return brought their young families. I love my quiet rural life, but I fully know I'd have to leave to find the kind of partner I want.
