The Boys Of Summer are back, ya’ll! The promise of warmer weather has a lot of single ladies and gents looking for a special someone to share their beer and nachos with. I thought I’d give you a head start and share why it only makes sense to date a red, white, and Cubby blue wearin’ Cubs fan!

1. Because no one wants to date a Cardinals fan.

This is number one for obvious reasons. No one wants to date a “can’t hack-it panty waste who wears their momma’s bra!” - The Sandlot.

2. They are loyal.

The last time we won a World Series was in 1908, but we still fill up Wrigley every game like it’s a church on a Sunday. If we can stand by a team who’s been losing for over 100 years, we’ll stand by you too.

3. They are not easily disappointed.

Cubs fans have had their fair share of dream crushing seasons. So when you’re not exactly the love of our dreams all the time, it’s totally fine.

4. “There’s always next year.”

With an attitude like that, how could a relationship end?

5. They have low expectations.

The team motto this year is “try not to suck”. As much as we love to see the Cubs win, we also know that they have totally sucked in the past. So when you suck a little, don’t worry, we’ll still love you.

6. They are passionate.

Wrigley bleacher fans are notorious for throwing back homerun balls from visiting teams. They’re also pretty great at talkin’ smack and defending their boys in blue. You better believe they will be just as passionate about their commitment to your relationship.

7. They know how to celebrate.

Even when things get tough, they show up ready to party! Since they know how to celebrate 100 years of subpar baseball, they will for sure show you a good time on your birthday… If ya know what I’m sayin’.

8. They’re optimistic.

Every year we start off the season by saying “This is our year!” So whenever you’ve done something to let us down, we will still come back for more.

(But this is SO our year…)

9. When the going is good, it’s really good.

When the Cubs are on a winning streak or make it to the playoffs, you’ll have a tough chance wiping the smile off of our faces.

10. Because HOLY COW they’re great!

Now go out and find yourself a baseball lovin', beer drinkin', good timin' pal!
