Kids, don't try this at home. Talk to your parents about dating if you're under 18, and definitely if you're over 18. When you are ready to go for it, here are 10 reasons to choose a third culture kid!
1. We know people all over the world. You'll have a free couch to sleep on in almost every country you visit.
Get excited.
2. When you get promoted and your job moves you overseas, they'll be happier than you are.
First of all, congrats.
3. Their trivia knowledge is on point, although you may need to educate them about what happened in the 90's.
Who's that kid with the football shaped head?
I think I saw one of these at a garage sale once.
We know literally one Spice Girls song, and that is it.
4. They'll be able to impress and relate to your friends and family in three seconds.
5. There will never be a lull in conversation; they love to talk about themselves.
Yes!
6. Their [swearing] vocabulary spans multiple languages.
7. Meeting the parents might not be an issue, since they're a $2,000 plane ride away.
Crisis averted
8. If date plans go wrong, don't worry–you'll find them incredibly flexible.
9. For your birthday they'll buy you a plane ticket!
Where are we going?
10. It might take a while, but once they love you, they'll love you forever.
