They've been renovating vacant apartments and with that has come some substantial noise. I don't think there's any real way to know how much noise there will be until your upstairs/downstairs/next door neighbor moves out. Otherwise I really like it here.

pretty sure they meant it sounded like sarcasm. not that they’ve had it and not liked it

I like their chicken Milanese.

I used to chat with everyone at Clarendon Gold's Gym and made a ton of friends there. Also Martial arts. District Martial Arts is in Ballston and has tons of young people who moved to the area who want friends. If you put yourself out there you will find people who want to have a social circle to live it up with

I did one of those Volo leagues in DC and thought it was fantastic for meeting people.

Meetups related to your interests whether on meetup.com, Instagram, DMV Facebook groups. Keep showing up until you click with some then get to know them.

They have tv at each chair and I think can do headphones if needed.

Yea. COVID did a number on them and they lost some staff. I’ve never had a hard time getting an appointment though. Not sure for new patients though.

Social sports and volunteering are easy marks. Also check Meetups.

Good call! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

Nope, I found it great. If you don’t like it, not much I can do about that

is this sarcasm

I really like Arlington Advanced Dental Care in Ballston. It’s a no frills place with a really nice dentist.

I also go here and really like it (I’m currently seeing dr Hassan, who is great). But getting an appointment is tough. They are very busy, I think they don’t have enough dental hygienists.

I go to them. They are very good.

I read somewhere that people need about 80hrs together to go from acquaintance to friend. While I wouldn’t consider that specific number gospel, friendship takes consistent time together to form, which is why random meet-up groups didn’t work for me even though I really liked the people I met. I would look for clubs that meet consistently once or more every week that don’t have high turnover. Perhaps volunteer at a museum? Or take a cooking class? Even though it didn’t work for me, if you’re able to find a meet up group for, say, a type of live music that meets regularly and doesn’t have high turnover, it might work for you.

thanks!
