The one thing you should know before dating a country girl is that we love differently. Expensive dinners might be enough for some women, but we want something better. Learn how to win our hearts and you’ll never want anyone else again.

  1. We always put our hearts on the line. We can be guarded, but we’re willing to take a chance. We’ve had our hearts broken, but we’re tough. We know we can handle it, but we also know what’s to gain.
  2. We know what hard work means. We’ve always worked hard and done chores. While a city girl might freak over a broken nail, it’s just a fact of life for us. When it comes to love, we work just as hard to get through the bad times so we’ll have more good times.
  3. We’re fiercely independent. Maybe it’s the country air, but country girls are extremely independent. We love our freedom, but we still want to be held. It’s that independence that helps us love as strongly as we do.
  4. We want love, not fancy gestures. We don’t mind being wined and dined, but it doesn’t really impress us. Going out with our friends, watching the stars, lending a helping hand and listening to us are far more important. We need you to show us you love us, not just buy us things.
  5. We crave someone to make us laugh. We have a sense of humor and we need someone who not only gets our jokes, but can make us laugh too. It’s probably one of the first things we notice about a guy, outside of tight jeans of course.
  6. Love turns to hate quickly if you screw us over. Betray us in any way and our love is quickly replaced by hate and the need for revenge. It’s not worth leading us on. You know how we get over a broken heart? We get even.
  7. We’re quick to introduce you to everyone. When we fall in love, we’re eager to make you a part of our family, including our extended family of friends. It might seem overwhelming at first, but it’s important to us. We’re just as happy to meet everyone who’s important to you too.
  8. We’ll always be ourselves because we’re proud of who we are. Country girls are strong and confident. We’ve dealt with bullies calling us hicks our whole lives. It’s just made us stronger. When we love, it’s for real. We’re not faking and you’ll know who we are from day one.
  9. We’re honest, sometimes more than you’d like. We don’t have time to sugarcoat everything. That doesn’t mean we’re not in love with you. It just means we value honesty. Remember, if you ask us a stupid question, you’re going to get an answer you don’t like. Of course, you probably shouldn’t tell us our butts look big in those jeans.
  10. We’ll often put others first. Our big hearts sometimes gets us in trouble. We have a bad habit of putting others first. We’ll go the extra mile to do something special for you and not expect anything in return, though we don’t mind when you do something sweet for no reason.
  11. We’re young at heart. We laugh, we play and we don’t give a damn what others think. We’re basically kids in an adult body. We know there’s more to life than stressing over something silly like the latest celebrity trends. We just want to work hard and play harder.
  12. We have our own interests, but love trying something new. We already have plenty of interests, one of which we’re probably turning into a career. But, we have an adventurous heart. We love trying new things, but we won’t hesitate to tell you if we don’t like it.
