Can I let you in on a little secret? Dating someone from Kansas is pretty much the best! Kansans are polite mid-westerners who know how to work hard, play hard, and just have a good time! What else do you need to know about dating someone from Kansas? Well…
1.) You shouldn’t expect a laugh when you make a “Wizard of Oz” joke.

2.) If our team loses, plans can change.

3.) Heading to the shooting range constitutes as a perfect first date…

4.) …as does eating the best BBQ in the world…

5.) … going out to have drinks and watch the Royals game.

6.) Eat whatever you want; we won’t judge.

7.) You will always be kept safe under our watch.

14.) Lastly (but certainly not least), Kansans are the nicest people you will ever meet.
