16 Perks Of Dating Someone From Boston

1. They’ll Bring You Dunkins In The Morning

What’s the best way to make the morning after memorable? Bostonians know it ain’t French toast. You’ll know you’ll be seeing a lot more of them if there’s a cup of coffee and pastry from Dunkin’ ready when you wake up.

2. They’ll Shovel Your Car Out For You In The Winter (And Save Your Spot With A Chair If It’s Southie)

When the snow takes up more of the street than the cars do, you’re going to love that your Bostonian will have your ride work-ready by the time you’re ready to go. And seeing them put out some random stool in your rear view mirror to save you a half-hour of parking stress after work is what will keep you coming back.

3. If You Trash Talk The Yankees, They’ll Only Find You Hotter

This will come as no surprise, but your Bostonian wants to wipe that smirk off Derek Jeter’s face as badly as you do. CC Sabbathia? More like CC Sa-BAD-ia.

4. They May Just Take You Out For Romantic Sail In A Swan Boat

The only way to go on a swan boat ride is with your beloved. Gliding across the pond in the Boston Commons is a highlight to any young Boston couple’s weekend.

5. They Make Very, Very Patient Lovers

Nothing says, “I will always believe in you and our relationship” like someone who has been a Red Sox fan since before 2004. You don’t survive the Curse of the Bambino without being a patient lover.

6. They Will Know Just What To Do To Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

Rough day? Stressed out? Let your Boston lover treat you to a sumptuous chocolate treat from Mike’s Pastry, or, if you’re a local who doesn’t have time for the throng of tourists, Modern might be more your speed. Either way, your partner will know to get at least 10 cannolis.

7. Do We Even Need To Mention The Sexy Brain On Your Bostonian?

Odds are your smarty-pants Bostonian rocks a maroon sweater or still has a graphic calculator from their MIT years. Boston boasts the best schools in the all the land, and that means this city’s population is the very definition of smart being sexy.

8. They’ll Show You Why Boston Is The Most Romantic City

Step aside Paris! Be ready for your Bostonian to pop the question if you ever go on a date that looks anything like this: some ice skating on Frog Pond or a stroll along the Charles and then dinner at Top of the Pru or really anywhere fancy in the North End. And after all that, you’ll be saying “Yes yes yes!”

9. They’ll Never Be Jealous Of You For Making Eyes At Tom Brady

The man’s a god, after all. Your Bostonian lover will never be jealous, just love and respect you even more.

10. You’ll Never Be Lost By Their Side… Even When Walking Around The City

Dating in Boston is always an exciting adventure. Some cities, like NYC, are super-straightforward, laid out in a grid and easy to understand. Boston doesn’t care about that because it’s way more romantic to stroll down a long winding road.

11. Their Homemade Chowder Will Make You Happy As A Clam

If you ever think something’s fishy about your Bostonian, rest assured, there is. And after you have a steaming bowl of chowder, or chow down on some of their tasty lobster rolls together, you’ll thank them for changing your life, at least seafood-wise.

12. You’ll Finally Have Someone Who Loves Ben Affleck And Matt Damon As Much As You

Your Boston lover is not confused about what makes their city great: sure, maybe John Adams, but more likely Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. If your favorite movies are “The Departed” and “Good Will Hunting,” (and maybe even “Daredevil” or “Reindeer Games”) we have some news: your soul mate is in Boston.

13. They Won’t Judge You For Driving Like A Masshole

Driving back from a hot date in the North End, there is a 99 percent likelihood that you’re going to get cut off by someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing. And instead of grinning and bearing it, your Boston lover will respect you all the more for rolling the window down and telling that guy exactly what he is (and then returning the favor.)

14. They’re True Love Pioneers

Maybe their sense of pushing the envelope is genetically encoded from the Boston Tea Party, but your Boston lover will be super open-minded. Marriage equality? Not a problem here. Love really is love in Boston.

15. You Can Count On Them To Stick With You For The Long Haul

Maybe it’s their super Catholic roots (Irish or Italian), but Bostonians are not afraid of commitment. With one of the lowest divorce rates in the whole country, when that ring goes on, it’s never coming off.

16. They’re Wicked Awesome You’ll Nevah Fall Hahdah For Anyone Else
