How to Date a Cowgirl

If your idea of fun includes rodeos, honky-tonks and country music, then you might want to settle down with a cowgirl. Down to earth with an appreciation for the simple things in life, cowgirls make for great companions. Before you set out to find love on the open plain, read on for more information on how to date a cowgirl.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Frequent cowgirl friendly establishments. Country-western bars, honky-tonks and rodeos are just a few places you're likely to find cowgirls. Keep up with your community's calendar to take advantage of more opportunities. Country music concerts and equestrian events provide great environments for meeting potential love interests.
2. Dress the part. Cowgirls are looking for cowboys, so don't leave the house without your Wranglers and cowboy hat. Don't look like you're in character, but put some thought into your appearance. Think rugged and masculine.
3. Rope her in. Initiate conversation relating to horses, country-western music or ask her to go two-stepping. Dates should be designed around the cowboy way of life. Romantic horseback rides and picnics out in the country are great ways to woo a cowgirl. Keep dates simple, outdoors and intimate.
4. Pace yourself, and don't rush the relationship. Cowgirls believe in old-fashioned values and command respect.
5. Give her some space. Once you've landed a lady, don't smother her. Cowgirls are independent, self-sufficient and like to hold the reigns in a relationship.

Tips & Warnings

• Check out online dating sites. Some specialize in matching up cowboys with cowgirls. Others allow you to customize your search so that you can focus your search on a specific type of individual.
• Be honest, open and faithful. Cowgirls don't like drama and games, so treat her with the respect she deserves.
• The cowgirl lifestyle isn't for everyone. If you have no interest in the country way of life, the great outdoors and all things livestock, don't date a cowgirl.
• Cowgirls can be a little rough around the edges. Don't expect a prim and proper, highly feminine prima donna. Cowgirls love to get their hands dirty.
• Cowgirl style is denim and western shirts. Cowgirls are more about function than fashion. Don't expect high heels and mini skirts.
• Cowgirls love their horses, so be prepared to share your girlfriend.
