8 Spots to Find Summer Romance in Rockford

Last summer I met someone who brought me back to life; he made me feel so beautiful and so free; feelings I hadn't felt in a long time. It also very well could've been the feeling you get from the summer sun kissing your skin; making you feel like Mother Nature's just giving you a huge hug. It's very easy to confuse the two feelings.

But there really is nothing like a summer romance; even if you know it's going to come to an end by Labor Day. You only get roughly 94 days of fun in the sun and those days should be filled with feelings of being carefree and blissfully in lust.

So where does one find their summer love? Sure you could go to a bar or travel to Chicago for a weekend fling, but you're much better off finding someone that is more than likely sober and shares similar interests. Or not?  Either way, here are some of the best spots to find summer romance in Rockford.
