Is Edmonton an option? I know Edmonton's gross but it's closer to an airport for you, closer to Wetaskiwin for her, and there's much more to do than in Red Deer. It smells and the Oilers suck but the city really isn't THAT bad.

If you're worried about leaving your buddies... It does suck for a while but gets better. You'll meet new people who have similar interests. You wouldn't be the first guy to move to a new city.

I'm 26. My girlfriend has a job that has high potential for relocation. I'd move with her, even though all my friends are here. I've had plenty of friends move to Edmonton, Toronto, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Dubai for jobs or significant others, away from all their friends. They all did okay. Worst case scenario you hate it and just break up and move back.
