No matter where I go, Chicago will always be my home. No matter if you are from the suburban area near Chicago or come from the downtown districts, Chicago is the home to many. How could you not love the city that sleeps a little bit, but also is filled with some of the most cultures in the United States? I know no matter what anyone tells me, Chicago is my home. I only hope that the next person thinking about dating me knows that. I for sure know they may need a warning before dating anyone from Chi-town.
1. People from the Windy City don't blow hot air around.
Chicagoans are pretty up front, just like many different types of people. There is no reason to sugar coat things.
2. You're Chicagoan will stay devoted to you, no matter how difficult times get.
It only took the Cubbies 108 years to win the World Series before taking home the W in 2016. Need I say more?
3. They will always know how to make you laugh.
Second City is one of the best comedy clubs in the nation. Case in point.
4. They live in the best place in the Midwest.
The adventures of dates are endless, whether you are jumping in a kayak or Ferris Wheel for the day, the adventures will always be memorable. You have a whole city as your romantic backdrop, even if some of the time you are sitting in a pizza parlor devouring deep dish.
5. They're prepared for every single climate in one day.
There is no such thing as one weather forecast for one season. Summers still may have a torrential downpour one day and be 90 degrees the next. Winters can be extremely mild, or you get a foot of snow in a night. You never really know, but your Chicagoan will be prepared. That I can guarantee.
6. Their love for you will be deeper than their pizza.
If you think thin crust pizza is the best, you obviously haven't been on a date downtown for pizza. Your Chicagoan will know exactly where to take you, and your life may just be changed by the pizza you will consume.
7. They already have mastered the awkwardness of the L train.
A number of people and smells can be way too overwhelming. Your Chicagoan will make it an adventure instead of something that just causes an anxiety attack.
8. You have the best dates right in front of you due to the amazing museums.
If Chicago was good enough for Ferris Buller, there is no way it isn't good enough for you.
9. You will finally get cute photos with someone other than yourself.

10. They will stay by your side, specifically in the winter.
Seriously, though. You will always have a cuddle buddy, but it will be the best when winter comes and you're freezing (while trying to take cute pictures at The Bean).
11. When it's warm enough, you'll most definitely have dates by the lake.
Lake days are the best, whether you are venturing to the beach or taking a bike ride on Lake Shore Drive. Your Chicagoan will make sure it's romantic, even if you aren't completely convinced of the Divvy bikes at first.
12. They can make you enjoy a whole day at the most boring place called Navy Pier.
Who the heck wants to go somewhere that is literally called "Navy Pier"? What sounds fun about a pier? Literally everything to a Chicagoan. The possibilities are endless. You can stay inside, enjoying the stained glass, IMAX movies, and ridiculous food. You can also venture outside for so many boat tours, ice cream, and a beautiful view of Chicago as you walk on the Pier.
13. Concerts are always the most fun in Chicago.

14. Lincoln Park Zoo is just better than any others.
You get a state of the art zoo and the downtown city all in one. How could you not fall in love?
15. You'll finally find someone that loves Chicago as much as you do.
No matter what, you can't help but love the Chicago skyline.
So if you're planning on asking that special someone on a date, you probably should. The Chicagoan is ready for your adventures, even if they are in a small town. Just know that when you do get to meet their hometown, it is unlike any other. That is something I can guarantee.
