If you’re dating someone from New Jersey, the first thing you should know is that you’re lucky to have us. Garden State guys and gals are undeniably great, and I’m (probably) not just saying that because I was born and raised here… So, if you’re lucky enough to be dating a Jersey girl or boy, there are few other things that might be helpful to know. Here are 10 of them:

1. We've get a sense of humor.

And we don't take life too seriously. The country constantly laughs at us (armpit of America...), so why not laugh with them? We don't want them coming here anyway - more Jersey for us.
2. But Joisey is never funny.

We can laugh off a lot, including all those Newark Airport jokes... but "Joisey" is never funny.
3. We're not afraid to speak our minds.

You'll probably learn that if you say "Joisey." We've all got different opinions, we want to be heard, and we don't care much what other people think.
4. And we're not afraid to use our horns.

Especially if you're going 50 in the fast lane... even if that's the speed limit.
5. We're a proud bunch.

And we have a lot to be proud of here in the Garden State. Even if you take us out of Jersey, you can't take the Jersey out of us.

We've all got a favorite shore town, even if we never step foot in the water. And how could we not with sunrises like this? Photo taken in Seaside Park.
8. We value our families.

Insert mob joke here... But in all seriousness, our families, friends and hometowns are important to us.
9. Music matters to us.

With legends like Frank Sinatra, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen and Whitney Houston hailing from our state, it should come as no surprise.
10. Our pizza is better than your pizza.

Accept that whatever pizza place you take us to in your home state, it will always pale in comparison to Jersey pizza. Same goes for bagels and hard rolls.

Of course, this list is all in good fun. But we have a sense of humor, so we’re okay with that. What else must you know about dating someone from the Garden State? Once you’ve won us over, consider These 14 Unique Date Ideas In New Jersey.
