Visiting Sumter, SC | My dilemma with dating | Corey Jones

[@trafficcontrol2420]

Nothing like a humble, confident, fine man.

[@Lvmxnt_1218]

Being from Columbia, it’s nice to see you still showing Sumter some love brother. Swan lake is definitely a childhood pastime of mines, even moreso during Christmas time when they have the lights. Keep it up brother.

[@CoreyMJones3]

For sure bro 💯. The Christmas lights at swan lake is top tier

[@misshaynes3594]

@@CoreyMJones3 That lake is beautiful. I'm a nature girl.. I love the "lame" stuff. (Statistically speaking) Lol I agree, very peaceful indeed. I live in Dallas and we have a place out here In FB called City in the park. It has a botanical garden. Most beautiful thing I've ever seen..lol...Lake... Park.... Grills. A entire trail through the woods. It's dope.. And u silly 😆 no disrespect. I agree with your statements in the beginning about when a woman ask you what are you looking for in her/one.... I started to feel the same way with men, at one point I USE (it's clear now) to ask myself like Self? Yea self.... Is you tripping?? Lol But no it's real. You speak these things and then idk if it's subconsciously or consciously, intentional or unintentionally done but it does happen....I just watch how someone moves now instead of speaking. I'll give you what u need to know where we stand but I'm observing. When I feel comfortable then I'll spill the tea.....

[@javionriley8739]

I love black rural towns !! Especially across the “black belt south” and seeing black people owning a lot of land !! There’s a lot of pride in that

[@Tai.tv17]

I love them too, the people are always so sweet and waving when you ride through 🥰

Sumter is a nice mixture of 47.9 Caucasian and 47.3 black.

[@VinnyMartello]

There’s not a single skyscraper in all of Sumter county. And I love it for that reason.

[@VinnyMartello]

It’s a rarity seeing someone talk about Sumter. I live here and honesty I like it.

[@PapaD104]

Good man, making your bed and cleaning up before you leave. Shows you respect yourself and understand actions have consequences. Some people don't understand why those little things matter, but if you can't handle that, how will you handle the big things. Loved your discussion on control too.

[@AjaALLC]

My dad was born and raised in Sumter, SC, I lived there for a few years when we moved there from NY. I just left there this weekend visiting my aunts. We live in the country part of Sumter, but my family is in the city part. I am a Furman High graduate!
