1. Nebraskans Are Naturally Charming
Midwestern friendliness is like nothing you’ve ever experienced and if you find yourself dating a Nebraskan, you’ll find out all about their down-to-earth, humble nature. Charm is embedded into their DNA and it’s the best kind: genuine charm that comes from having both feet on the ground.
2. You Won’t Have To Dress Up For Your Runza Dates
Who wants to have to get all dressed up and fancy for every single date? Your Nebraskan is laid back and will make sure you have plenty of fun, casual dates at Runza’s. Don’t be too quick to judge that they want to take you to a fast food restaurant. It is amazeballs.
3. Your Nebraska Darlin’ Won’t Let You Miss A Cornhuskers Game
Did you know that Nebraskans are the most loyal football fans in the country and possibly the world? The Nebraska Cornhuskers football games have been consistently sold out since 1962 (that’s over 330 consecutive sold out games)—but don’t worry about missing one because you didn’t get tickets on time. Your Nebraskan would never let that happen.
4. A Nebraskan Will Show You How Sweet Simple Life Can Be
One of the best things about dating a Nebraskan is that there’s no pretenses. You don’t have to worry about putting on airs. Instead you’ll enjoy simple walks, picnics, snuggling and holding hands. It’s the simple things in life that light up your Nebraskan sweetie. They’ll make you wonder why you even attempted to date anyone before them.
5. They’ll Make You Feel Like One Of The Family
Family is important to Nebraskans. They love their entire family and extended family and tend to spend a lot of time with them. This is extra great for you, because they’ll make you feel right at home, and you’ll feel like one of the family in no time at all.
6. A Nebraskan Won’t Hesitate To Be Silly With You
Nebraskans are fun-loving people. They’ll be silly with you, dance in the streets, kiss in the park and make you laugh all day long. What makes them so fun and silly? It’s because they are down-to-earth, salt-of-the-earth people. Remember the no pretenses thing? That makes them fun!
7. Being Corn-Fed Has Its Advantages
Your Nebraskan sweetie is not only steak-fed, they’re corn-fed too. That comes with a whole set of perks.
8. They’ll Keep Your Warm During Winter
Sure, it snows a lot and winter is beyond cold, but one thing you need to know is this: snow is to be played in. Your Nebraskan sweetheart won’t mind snuggling by the fire, but they’ll like playing out in the snow much better. They know that it’s not even cold once you get used to it and who knows, with the way the weather is here, it might just be a sunny, spring-like day tomorrow.
9. They’ll Show You What A Perfect Steak Is Really Like
Two words: Omaha Steaks. You’ll have them in restaurants, get them at the local butcher and cook them out on the grill. You’ll definitely learn the art of a quality, juicy steak, because your Nebraskan lover will enjoy showing off their steak grilling skills. You’ll never have an overcooked, dry steak again. Ever. Isn’t it grand?
10. They’ll Turn You On To Flavor Combinations You Never Knew Existed
Sure, cinnamon rolls are delicious, but your Nebraskan will take that to a whole new level by pairing them with…. wait for it…. chili! Yes, savory, meaty chili with sweet cinnamon rolls. It’s a Nebraskan thing, a special combo that will make you wonder why you weren’t pairing these two dishes together for your entire life.
11. You’ll Bond On The Wide Open Road
Dating a Nebraskan will involve hitting the wide open road and driving for miles and miles through prairies and corn fields. When you spend time together on the road the hours will just fly by. Just you, your sweetie and some great tunes are all you need for a road trip of epic proportions.
12. It’s Not All Prairies And Farmland, They’ll Also Take You To Omaha, Lincoln And Anywhere Else You’d Like To Go
Yes, there will be picnics and the wide open road, Runza’s, cookouts, and sunset walks, but there will also be Omaha and Lincoln. They’ll have no problem getting spiffed up to take you to the theater, museums, fancy dinners and a night out on the town. Nebraskans are sweet, but not boring. They’re humble, but not couch potatoes. They know how wine and dine you properly.
13. Going To The State Fair Isn’t An Option
It doesn’t matter where your sweetie lives in the state of Nebraska, they will look forward to making the trek to the Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island all year long. The carnival rides are awesome, but the highlight is definitely all of the fried-everything fair food.
14. Marveling At The Magic Of Nature Will Become Your New Favorite Pastime
From the glorious sunsets and romantic thunderstorms to the great crane migration, you’ll learn to love nature even more than you already do when dating a Nebraskan. The real kicker might be when they show you the the area along the Platte river between Grand Island and Lexington where the cranes stop to rest and feed for about 6 weeks along their migration.
15. They’ll Be Happy To Make You Part Of The Family
When it comes to getting serious and settling down, you definitely won’t have anything to worry about with a Nebraskan. They love family and can’t wait to start their own. You’ll have a big, fun wedding too, because that’s what families are for.
