What are some of the things y'all like to do? What are the local hotspots in your opinion?

The best place to meet women in St. Mary's is a family reunion

Welcome.

[helloween]

Kayaking
Boating
Sailing
Fishing
Crabbing
Camping
State Parks
Historical Sites (St. Mary's City, Sotterly, Point Lookout)
Maryland International Raceway

If you do happen to venture out to the bars, check these ones out, they're your best bet for meeting people your age:

Tiki Bar in Solomons Island
Catamarans in Solomons Island
The Green Door in Park Hall

Let's see, I'm kind of a stereotypical geeky individual in this sense... I have a lot of geeky interests shared by most in my field of software engineering. But, since my job revolves around computers, I'm finding myself coming home and wanting to diverge from these more stereotypical activities that I'm used to... like computers, videogames, anime, etc. aka getting out more :P.

Do u ride?

As in motorcycles? No, but I've been torn on getting a GSXR-600 or CBR-600 for a first bike... although I've noticed my priorities have been shifting lately, so who knows I may get neither and just put the money towards a deposit on a house.

As in equestrian riding, no... although I'm up for giving it a try.

No, but as an engineering-minded individual, I do sew for a hobby.

Only sport I would be interested in playing is soccer, and I'm pretty rusty.

What are the best state parks around here for hiking?

Thanks, I'll definitely take a look into some of these. I do enjoy the outdoors, but I generally go solo as I don't know many people who enjoy exploring wetlands looking for reptiles and amphibians :P.

OK, don't advertise the sewing thing...
Good plan on saving for a house. Now is the time to buy.
The base has adult soccer leagues.
Saint Mary's Lake is about a 6 mile hike (I'm guessing).
Again, don't advertise the looking for reptiles thing.
For chicks try Solomons Island in the summer. They migrate north in the winter.

SHHHHHH!!! I was hoping he might want to knit me a baby blanket, better yet, he can sew me some baby clothes

For kayaking, go to Bluhaven Piers in Ridge.
St. Mary's lake is fun with a mountain bike.
Cold Blooded creatures a plenty, from all kinds of skinks, lizards, turtles, frogs, snakes..... lots to spot. My son finds them all.
Speaking of wildlife, otters are playing with their pups, birds of prey (eating said pups), dolphins, skate, albino deer in the woods at St. Mary's City, just to name a few.
OH, also, visit SO MD, So Good local buying campaign, visit all or most of the local farms buy some fresh good for you food grown in this county

Welcome
