16 Things You Might Want To Know About Dating Someone From Maine

So, you've fallen in love with a Maineiac! Congratulations!

It's not surprising given that we churn out some of the smartest and kindest people in the country. Since you'll definitely want to hang onto this one, here are a few things you must know about dating someone from Maine. It might not always be easy, but rest assured that we'll get you through those winter nights.

1. Dinner and a movie won't be your typical date night. You'll come to appreciate being outside all day!

2. And, they'll have this grin permanently glued to their face the entire time.

3. But, they're still probably tougher than you.

4. They don't want to hear you say that Portland isn't a city.

5. They probably prefer a fire pit over going to a bar. While you used a fake ID to sneak into places to drink, they brought an 18-pack to the gravel pit and spent the night with this view.

6. You'll learn that crossing this bridge means the air certainly feels better...but, there's a good chance you're not even remotely close to being done with the drive.

7. They'll be able to school you on craft beer before drinking you under the table.

8. You'll learn that being invited "upta camp" doesn't mean sleeping in a tent...

9. ...And you'll be heading there no matter the season.

10. Speaking of which, you can't complain to them about the weather. They've been through much worse. Guaranteed.

11. But, in the summer you're going to want to make sure you can swim.

12. And, enjoying boats couldn't hurt either.

13. You don't just meet their family. You meet the entire town. And the neighboring town. And their families.

14. They will always be referring to Maine when they say "home."

15. It might not always be calm seas...

16. But it will always be worth it.

Enjoy your happily ever after in Vacationland!
