What does dating really look like when you are dating someone whose family consists of farmers (specifically dairy farmers)?

1. Dates Are Not Normal Ones

Your dates do not normally involve going bowling or going to the movies. They typically involve milking cows, watching siblings, help drive tractor, etc. It's not that these dates are worse than the normal stereotype of dates, they are just different. I have spent more date nights covered in manure than I care to remember.

2. You're Alone. . . WHAT?

Time alone is almost a myth, it never happens. You always have at least one farm hand or sibling watching you at all times. There are always someone's eyes on you at all times. Which is not always bad it does help you to stay in line, but their are also certain conversations you do not want everyone to hear.

3. Plans. . . What plans?

Do not even think about trying to make plans because those plans will change about ten times in one week. I remember a specific time that I was so excited since my boyfriend told me that he could go hiking with me the next morning. Well the next morning came and his dad handed him a list of things that needed to get done and so my boyfriend then could not come with me.

4. FARM

The farm always comes first. This goes along with number three. It really does not matter if you have already made plans if something happens on the farm and they need hands you are going to put your plans aside and just pitch in in any way you can.

5. Learn something new everyday

You are going to learn a lot. Dating a farmer's son or daughter is very educational. I have learned how to milk cows, drive a skid loader, feed calves, fish, and so much more. I also some how managed to get myself a job on their farm.

Dating a farmer's son can be a lot of things but boring is something that it will never be.
