Vermont is well-known for its scenery and outdoor activities, but really it's the people here that make it such an incredible place. We're not just about maple syrup and good cheese (although we love them), there is more to Vermonters than meets the eye. If you're lucky enough to be dating someone from here, there are a few things you should know right off the bat. Here are some insights that will hopefully set you on the right path if you are dating someone from Vermont.
1. Vermonters are usually humble...
But you had better not insult their state, or they’ll take you down.
2. They will offer to drive.
Vermonters have driven in all kinds of weather and terrain so we can handle any road.
3. They are willing to take chances.
Who knows when a new sport will be invented?
4. They will snuggle in front of a fire.
And, no, it's not cliche.
5. People from Vermont are probably tougher than you.
Accept that right now.
6. After living in Vermont, you can’t complain about the cold.
They’ve always been through worse.
7. They have had more snow, too.
Don't even try to compare. You'll lose.
8. Be ready to go to some country fairs.
We love all of them - especially ones with pig racing.
9. They can be silly.
And they can also admit when they make a bad choice.
10. They might love their pets more than they love you.
But once you’re ok with that, you can be ok with anything.
11. Be prepared to eat lots of comfort food.
After a long day of fun, we love our delicious meals.
12. A date at Thunder Road Racetrack is inevitable.
And you will LOVE it!!!
13. You cannot complain about Vermont.
We can, but you can't. Ever. Under any circumstances.
14. They can't sit still...
So take them on adventures!
15. They know that the little things go a long way.
Nothing says "I love you" like having your car shoveled off and warmed up for you when it’s -10 degrees.
16. Dress comfortably.
Be ready for everything, not just a black tie gala. We're much more likely to do something more fun anyway!
