Magnolia
Magnolia is a Kent County village south of Dover with a population that would fit comfortably inside a single Wilmington apartment building. The dating scene, accordingly, requires a car and a willingness to drive to Dover, Milford, or the beaches for anything resembling a night out. What Magnolia offers is genuine small-town civility, historic homes along Main Street, and proximity to Killens Pond State Park for daytime dates that involve kayaks rather than cocktails. Tinder here is mostly people who actually live in Dover. Treat Magnolia as a place to retreat to after dates happen elsewhere, not a hunting ground.
