I did not grow up in the area nor my wife, but we have a bit of family around and came here during a couple of years for holidays.
On the startup + girlfriend: I wouldn't try to "convince" but rather see if it would be a good fit. My girlfriend and I are now associates: we're doing remote consulting and bootstrapping https://www.wisecashhq.com. We first gave this a try for one year, to see if things were good for us. After one year we bought a house here, as we were really happy.
On the city: I know some people from big city who do not adapt well, while other (still from big cities) did adapt very well. It's just something to think about then test, planning a rollback if it's not for you.
One important point for us is that apart from the consulting , our business project is really something we work on as a couple.
