If you don’t know much about Aurora, you may be tempted to think of it as the place the Batman shooting happened.

This means you’ll spend your weekends taking fun road trips and postcard-perfect photos that will become your most favorite mementos and memories of all time.
4. Being Fit & Healthy Is A Given
Dating an Auroran will always be an adventure because they like to keep fit and healthy, and not just by spending time on the elliptical. Even Sports Illustrated named them Sportstown, U.S.A in their 50th anniversary edition. Not only do they have a huge sports scene, but the locals like to get out running, biking, hiking, rock climbing and moving their bodies. Be ready for action, always. The endorphins you create together will give you a feeling of euphoria, which is always a good thing when it comes to being in love.
5. Aurorans Exude Confidence
Growing up in the shadow of Denver, Aurorans have learned how to carve out their own niche, appreciate their own uniqueness and revel in their own confidence. This is a great thing for you, because you don’t have to deal with a sweetheart that lacks self confidence. They know they’re awesome and when you’re with them, you’ll feel ten times more awesome, too.
6. They Make Orange & Blue Look So Good
And you thought that you loved the Denver Broncos? Claiming the Denver Broncos is really the only time that Aurorans admit to being part of the Denver metro area. They are crazy about them, so expect to enjoy season tickets at the Mile High Stadium and premium seating on the regular. They’ve been doing this a long time, so they know how to avoid the long lines and where all the best parties are at. You may have to buy even more orange and blue just to keep up with them.
7. And Aurorans Always Look Fly In Their North Face Gear
Whether you’re staying in or going out of the town for dinner and a movie, your Auroran will show you just how versatile North Face clothes really are. Before you know it, you’ll be sporting matching outerwear and making romantic shopping trips to visit the store in Cherry Creek.
8. They’ll Turn You Onto Some Of The Greatest Local Beer…
You thought all the great beer was in the heart of Denver, but your Auroran sweetie will change your mind in an instant. Dad & Dude’s Breweria in Aurora not only has handcrafted pizza that will make your mouth water, but they also have excellent craft beer. This will be your go-to spot for just hanging out in your neighborhood on a rainy day.
9. Date Nights At The Fox Will Be Crazy Fun
Make sure to have plenty of dressy clothes on hand for your fabulous date nights together at the Aurora Fox. This historic landmark is sure to be one of your sweetie’s favorite places to catch a quality live theater production in a small, intimate environment with you.
10. It’s Not All About The Mountains
When the snow melts away, your sweetheart will show you the best way to warm up - at the beach. It’s not an actual beach, per say, but the Aurora Reservoir has a large lake with a man-made beach for swimming and sunbathing. It’s the closest thing to an actual beach you’re going to find in Aurora, yet you’ll be so smitten with their enthusiasm for kayaking, boating, scuba diving and applying your sunscreen that you won’t even notice it’s not on the ocean.
11. They’ll Impress You With Their Knowledge Of Ethnic Cuisine
Dating an Auroran can be a bit of an ethnic flavor expedition. Hopefully you’re into trying new things and love trying international cuisines. They’ll love to impress you with all their favorite restaurants, from Thai, Indian, Ethiopian, Korean, Mediterranean, Moroccan, Filipino and when it comes to Vietnamese…. they will really impress you. Aurora has some of the best Pho in the country. Always show up for your dinner dates hungry and curious.
12. You’ll Have Romantic Beautiful Picnics In The Park
Aurora has over 6,000 acres of open space and over 100 parks to enjoy. Lucky for you, your Auroran date will know where all the least trafficked areas are to enjoy some quiet time in the great outdoors together. The Trust for Public Land ranked them #10 in 2014 for the best park systems in the country. It’s also likely that they live with a half mile from a park, since 85% of Aurora residents do.
13.They Know Their Way Around A French Press
Before dating an Auroran you thought brunch was just some fancy word for breakfast that was strictly for the hipster crowd. AFTER dating an Auroran you dream of lox, crab and carnitas bennies, zucchini pistachio pancakes and chocolate bourbon french toast from The French Press Cafe and Bakery. Most importantly, you take it all with a side of fair trade, organic, french press brewed coffee from the Boulder Organic Coffee Co. No, you have not turned into a hipster. You just love a great brunch now.
14. They’ll Show You The Love
Aurorans aren’t afraid to show you some love. Maybe it’s all that self-confidence. Perhaps it’s the endorphins rushing through their bodies from all the outdoor adventures. Most likely it’s just the fact that they’re really into you and want the world to know.
