Dating in Midland-Odessa isn’t easy, thanks to a transient population and questionable relationship statuses. But when you do meet someone worth taking out, there are still plenty of places in the 432 to enjoy a great date night.
Moving to Midland-Odessa, I was curious about the dating scene. I went undercover on dating apps, hoping for a decent experience—but what I got was a mix of ghosting, superficial questions, and a possible scammer. Here's how my short-lived experiment went down.
Is the dating scene in Odessa, Texas, really as bad as people say? Locals call it "nonexistent" and a "dumpster fire," but is there hope? I hit the streets of Midland-Odessa to explore where singles can actually meet like-minded people.
"West Texas Single" is a term used in the Permian Basin to describe individuals who act single while temporarily away from home—despite having a committed partner waiting for them. Is this just an accepted part of the lifestyle, or is it crossing the line?
