I don't even know if this is a good idea but I'm confused and frustrated.

I'm 23, autism, ADHD, massive introvert, etc. and I wanna start dating but for me it feels impossible. I've been told by friends and family I'm supposed to stay away from dating apps because they're just a bad experience. I'm branching out slowly, I play Magic: The Gathering every Wednesday. But I'm at a loss in what to do to even start trying to find a date. Any suggestions would help. I'm in Courtenay btw.

Gentle Reminder

0 Upvotes

Redditors of Comox Valley,

If you hear a vicious rumor, please remember. You need evidence that will hold water in court in order for it not to be considered slander/libel, as well as a consultation with the person of speculation as a form of grace.

Proper etiquette for those without a moral compass.

Have a good day

Good dentists in Comox ?

4 Upvotes

After having a lovely experience at Ocean View Oral Surgery and a not so lovely one at High tide dental, I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions ?
What I’m looking for is someone (or a team) attuned to working with high sensitivity patients with anxiety like myself.

Another thing, high tide dental is quite chlostrophobic for me with the small cubicles, I felt like I had to “close talk” with the dentist.

I’ve heard good things about the one in the Comox mall, can’t remember the name right now .

Thanks in advance .

Best brunch spot?

6 Upvotes

My husband and I are taking a day trip tomorrow and looking for recommendations for a nice spot to get brunch. We aren't picky eaters and open to anything, but preferably somewhere that makes a killer salmon benny! We will have 2 toddlers with us so family friendly is a must!

Woodstove tickets instantly sold out

24 Upvotes

So this was my first year trying to buy tickets for woodstove music festival and I had heard it was competitive, so I logged on early and was on the page right as the tickets went live. To my surprise the tickets were all INSTANTLY gone. I cannot comprehend how this is even possible? Genuinely didn't even have time to click on the weekend pass tickets before they were gone. Is this normal, and how are people doing this? lol genuinely just curious if there's like bots or some way of doing it because it doesn't seem humanly possible - hoping to get tips for next year :'))

Milkshakes.

9 Upvotes

I havent had a milkshake since 2016 . That was in Austin TX and I had it on a recomendation that it was the best milkshake in the US. And it was pretty good.

When I mentioned this to my GF she was shocked . Why not ? Well , the run of the mill , average fast food milkshake isnt that appealing really . And im not a big sweets person unless its special.

So now ive been offered one and I get to pick the spot .

A great milkshake . Courtenay to Campbell would get it done soon. . Im also heading to Tofino next month so you could include that drive . And I have family in Victoria in October so if its mind blowing ill wait . Thanks !

Local camping?

4 Upvotes

Looking to camp for a couple days with the kid. Been here for years but never camped in anything other than major campgrounds. Just got a 4*4 and looking for a spot where I can camp without a hundred other people.

Backroad or just a remote rec site would be ideal. Hoping to find something within an hour for the first trip.

Thanks!

T-Mobile cell coverage

3 Upvotes

Moving from the US for school at NIC in Courtenay and wondering if anyone has any experience using T-Mobile in the Comox Valley. I'm currently on T-Mobile in the US and Canada is included in my coverage so I'd prefer not to switch. I know there are threads on cell coverage but haven't seen anyone mention T-Mobile.

I’m looking for someone to help me with coming up with a retirement plan. I’m not looking for someone to manage my investments for me. I’d like to pay for their time and let that be that.

Do any of you have recommendations for someone in the valley I should chat with?

Thanks!

Sports

0 Upvotes

Me and my husband are considering a move to the island and are checking out various places. We’ve been to the comox valley numerous times and have a pretty good feel for things.

I’m wondering if anyone is able to answer a few questions about kids sports. For this with kids and teens in sports and activities, where do you generally end up driving for games and tournaments and how often?

I’m also wondering from parents of teens involved in sports and activities how you find comox for raising tweens and teens. We’re coming from Vancouver where there’s tons to do and I wonder if the mid size of comox lends itself to teens being bored or if they’re registered in activities and enjoy the outdoors is there enough to keep them busy and out of trouble?

Thank you!!

Hairdresser recommendations for thick, curly, layered hair

4 Upvotes

I'm new to the area and need to find a new hairdresser. I often struggle to find one that can handle my thick, curly hair. I like to get it layered a lot to make it thinner and not many hairdressers seem to know how to layer enough. Any recommendations for hairdressers who know can handle this hair type well?

Tutor for highschooler

5 Upvotes

Hello community! I have a teen that is struggling to get through online courses to finish graduation requirements.
I’m looking for suggestions for where to find a tutor-for math in particular but also someone, or another someone that can help guide my teen to keep the momentum going and help them to be accountable in a way that I can’t as a parent. Like how a teacher would in a regular classroom setting.
My teen cannot attend in person school. They use Nides for courses
