I started this group because being a conservative in a deep-blue state, I often feel like I'm alone - but I know you're out there somewhere! I'm looking forward to meeting some people who are just as concerned about the future of Maryland and the country.

We've all been there..We've all gone through it...and we all know dating in this area can be as frustrating as figuring out how many times you have to go around the Beltway to find the exit to Connecticut Avenue! We all have friends and family to talk too- but sometimes they don't really understand how difficult it is to meet your future soul mate online. Our mothers fear the fact we put ourselves out there, our fathers for don't understand why we do it- and if you are like me, most of your frie …
