Texas. Just saying that word out loud probably sends chills down your spine. You know what other state has that effect? Literally none of them. Am I biased? One hundred percent, thanks for pointing that out. Now I could spend the time we have together reminding you of all the amazing things Texas has brought around for your enjoyment (see: Tex-Mex) but there's really only one point that I think needs some re-visiting.
Texas girls, and more importantly why dating one is arguably the best choice you could make.
As if daisy dukes and cowboy boots aren't enough, Texas girls are nothing short of firecrackers. We aren't about to keep our opinions to ourselves, and if we have an issue with something we certainly won't keep you guessing. But make no mistake; we're not about to jump in head first with you. We'll give you a chase, but not in an I-want-to-see-you-scramble kind of way, more of an I'm-not-that-easy kind of way. We have high standards and unless you completely blow our socks off from day one we're going to bat our lashes and politely ask you to prove to us you're worth our time.
You know those girls that give you a deer-in-the-headlights look when you tell them to wear clothes they “don't mind getting dirty"? Those girls aren't from Texas. We'll just as easily slip on stilettos and a cocktail dress as we will cutoffs and a t-shirt. We can bait our own hooks and load our own guns, because our fathers sure weren't going to raise a girl who couldn't take care of herself.
At the end of the day, that's what we do: take care of ourselves. We want you around, but we don't need you around. Cancel a dinner date? That's fine, we have three girlfriends a phone call away that can pick up where you left off. We won't sit around and base our happiness on every text you send. We don't play games and we expect you to give us the same courtesy.
Out of all of these qualities, the biggest is that we know what's important. We aren't about to cry over something that doesn't matter. We understand that family comes first, which means you won't be able to find someone more dedicated to making sure your family adores us. But at the same time, if our family has doubts about you we'll kindly show you the door. We'll make the best out of any situation because we get the importance of living every day to the fullest. We're the girls that will dance in the rain and play in the mud, not complain about being wet and sit in the truck if y'all get us stuck (again).
When it boils down to it, we're attitude-throwing, boot-wearing, eye-lash-batting sweethearts that can drive a truck as good as the boys and wear a dress better than the other girls. Our independence is rivaled only by that of this great state. Not everyone can handle it, but if you're up for the task I can promise you one thing: you won't be disappointed.
