For me, finding someone that you genuinely have something in common with is very important and very rare. For the past two years I have had the pleasure of dating a car guy. I haven't had many serious relationships, but I can split this one apart from the others in many ways. The main one is him being a car guy. To find something you love is awesome, but to find someone you love that loves what you love is 100 times better. So here are a few reasons why you should date a car guy.

1. They are the best help

They know you better than anyone else, so they can see you lie through your teeth when you're struggling. And when you are struggling, they don't just take over; they want you to learn how to do it or to help you complete it. From cosmetics to performance, they are always willing to help and are willing to do what they can to make your dreams come to life.

2. Odd dates

Some of the odd dates that I have come across include long drives to car shows, going to a dealership to look at cars, looking at cars on the side of the road and lots and lots of car meets. The best thing is going to car meets. Seeing varieties of cars and just talking about them provides a big connection that you cannot find with anyone else. You know each other's interests and never stop talking about them

3. They're knowledgeable

Now, I am not a life long car girl, but I have been for the past decade or so. Ever since I was really able to appreciate cars, I was hooked. But a car guy seems to know everything! From the kind of drive shaft you do and don't want in a Jeep to how much horse power and torque any car on the lot has, they seem to have an entire brain just for cars and it is super helpful and interesting!

4. They're committed

For anyone that works on their car, there is no such thing as a quick or simple task. Usually you hit a few road bumps or it takes longer than expected, especially if you aren't a professional. With tasks taking long, they're committed to finishing the project in the time frame that it needs to happen in. When preparing for a show or just to add something, stopping in the middle isn't an option. This goes for other things in the relationship, too. They are resilient and dedicated to you and your dreams, even if it doesn't include cars.

5. They're passionate

From talking about cars to working on them, they are passionate with every word they say. Also, they're passionate towards you. Passionate in what you have to say and what you do. From walking, to talking to working on cars, they're sucked in and passionate about what you're doing and what you seek to achieve.

From my years of dating, I have never come across a man like my car guy. Honestly, he's the best for more than the above reasons. He has been supportive through all of my decisions, picked me up even if I was covered in grime, stood by my side as I waited to get judged, everything, he was there. It is hard to find someone you share a common ground with, let alone someone who is also passionate about what you are passionate about, too. I am proud to date a car guy and can't wait to marry mine.
