Coming from a small country town, finding a boyfriend that is anything but country is nearly impossible. But trust me, dating all country boys all my life hasn't really been a bad thing and it most definitely had its perks. You're probably thinking "What and how do you even classify yourself as those girls that date a country boy?, "What's so special about dating a country boy?" and "How do you actually know you're dating a country boy?" Well, that's what I'm here for.

1. "You Gotta Get A Little Mud On The Tires." -Brad Paisley.

His favorite past time besides spending countless hours and hours with you is driving along a backroad hitting every single mud puddle possible. Big or small, your country boy doesn't care. He'll end up hitting every puddle that is visible. Some girls probably get annoyed when driving in the truck with their country boy because it seems like all they ever want to do is going mudding and take the longer way back home just so they can hit more puddles on the back way. But I'll give it to them, nothing makes a country boy happier than a kid in a toy store than getting his truck covered in mud.

2. Guns.

If you already didn’t feel safe around the house with your dad and your brother or even your cousins and their guns, let’s just add another male in your life with a bunch of guns. A number of guns that any country boy can and will own in their lifetime is about as equivalent to a number of shoes your typical girl will own unless you are anything like me and kinda hate shoes.

3. Truck.

If your boyfriend is anything like mine, he loves his truck but then again, what country boy doesn’t love their truck. You might be dating a country boy if you can catch your boyfriend just casually staring at his truck more than he stares at you. I know mine does this one more than any guy I know, but at least I know he’s looking at his truck rather than other girls. His truck will mean the absolute world to him and won't let anybody other than himself drive it. If your boy really loves you and trust you, he might actually let you drive his truck and if he does, you better feel pretty damn lucky.

4. Boots. Boots. Boots.

Boots, boots, boots, and more boots. The number of boots country boys own doesn’t exist. I say this because it’s 110% true. Country boys will have a pair of boots for hunting, a pair for fishing, a pair for working, and a pair for nice occasions. But, don't worry, all the boots a country boy will own are basically the same kind of boot but don't try to tell him that because he will beg to differ.

5. Country Music.

Nothing melts my heart than listening to country music while driving in the truck with my boyfriend and I look over and he’s singing along to every song on the radio. If you're dating a real country boy, he'll even sing those corn country love songs to you too. Anything from Carrie to Miranda to Tim to George, he'll know every word to every song and he'll even sing those hilarious girly songs to you while driving and he'll do just because he knows it makes you happy.

6. "Your Beard Is So Fat, Even Dora Can't Explore It" - Si Robertson.

I’m not sure about you, but I absolutely love country boys that have facial hair. I honestly feel like having any type of facial hair makes any man more attractive but when you put facial hair on a country boy, it’s like walking into Heaven earlier than you should. The majority of country boys that I know, have facial hair and I mean they have amazing facial hair and they keep it for as long as they can.

7. Baseball Caps.

Just like their boots, country boys love their baseball caps. I mean, country boys will even sleep with their hats on because they feel pretty much naked without it on. They will have hats and hats of the same brand but in different colors, basically one for each day of the week. It definitely isn’t a bad thing because you’ll always know what to get him for a birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, or even anniversary gift, and maybe if you’re lucky enough he’ll even let you wear one when you’re having one of those bad hair days. If you’re really really lucky, he might even let you keep his hat, and if he hasn’t let you keep it, don’t get upset over it because your time will come soon.

8. Hunting and Football Season.

I'm just going to lay it out there on the line for everyone, but do not try to plan anything during football or hunting season. And I say this because the chances of you actually going on those cute romantic little dates that you planned are very very very slim. Hunting and football season is where you lose your boyfriend and don’t get them back until both seasons are completely over for the year. Country boys take hunting and football season extremely serious, and I mean extremely serious.

9. Beer and Whiskey.

Your country boy will forever be your drinking buddy. If you weren't a beer or whiskey type of girl, you will be by the middle of that relationship. Country boys don't give a crap about those fruity little drinks that you can only get at the local town bar. They really only care about their beer and whiskey, and they only men they can truly trust is their Jim, Jack, and Jose.

10. Respectful.

I’ve always loved country boys and it didn’t help that I lived in a small country town so that’s all I was ever around me. The reason being is country boys are extremely respectful. They are raised how to treat a lady which in today’s society is extremely rare. A real country boy respects his girlfriend and makes sure that nobody else ever disrespects her. He’ll open the truck door for you and will always hold the door open for his girlfriend. Country boys have the best manners anybody could ever have and it seriously melts my heart.

11. Your Personal Mechanic.

Country boys magically know literally everything about cars, trucks, tractors four-wheelers, and snowmobiles. They can take apart entire snowmobile and put it back together perfectly fine and then make it sound and work better than it did before they took it apart. It seriously blows my mind on how they magically know everything and anything about cars and trucks because it takes me forever to learn a new braid for my hair.

12. Protective.

Country boys have this amazing tendency of being over-protective of their girlfriends. It’s not just their girlfriends that they tend to be protective of, it’s everything they own and everything that means more than life itself to them. It’s definitely a perk of dating a country boy that’s for sure.

13. Full of Adventures.

Country boys are amazing at finding the perfect little simple dates. Never been muddin? Well, it looks like you and your country boy are going to spend all day in the truck, driving around the county hitting every mud puddle possible. Never shot a gun? Well, it looks like you and he are spending the day in an open field shooting every gun that he has.


Being in a relationship with a country boy is probably one of the best things I could have ever done in my entire life. That country style of dating doesn’t really require a lot of money because we enjoy the simple things in life. We like things like picnics, fishing, BBQ’s, bonfires, muddin’, sunrises, sunsets, and sitting in the bed of a truck on a warm summer’s night star gazing.

Find yourself a country boy and you won’t regret it. I say this because they are the most simple, laid back, and patient boys you will ever meet. They’ll go with the flow and won’t ever freak out when things don’t go according to plan, instead, they’ll just make a new one and roll with it. Any guy that is willing to spend all hours of the day sitting in a tree standing to wait for a deer, turkey, bear, moose, or any other big game to show up must have the patience of a saint and can handle any type of attitude or sass you bring to the table.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
