We recently published an article about why you should date a beach volleyball player but, let’s face it, most of us won’t be so lucky as to snag a pro. Why, we hear you cry? It’s down to one simple reason: They are, in fact, are already dating something, not someone else – beach volleyball. Now, if you’re a beach volleyball player and you’re reading this and thinking, “don’t be so ridiculous”, here are 10 reasons that prove you wrong:

1. You are always excited to play beach volleyball, and before you play a game, you still get butterflies in your stomach.

2. When you’re not playing beach volleyball – chances are, you’re thinking about playing beach volleyball.

3. Your friends and family are constantly complaining that you spend too much time playing beach volleyball.

4. You’ve basically already moved in together – and… beach volleyball’s decided to decorate. There’s at least six beach volleyballs lying around, and that’s just your living room.

8. You’ve taken tons of pictures together – your Facebook album should really be changed from being called ‘Random Volleyball Pics’ to ‘Time with My One Love’.

9. You’re always shopping together and let’s be honest - they always choose ‘beachwear’.
