Are you new to the state and wondering what your Delaware love life may look like? Or has your summer fling from Nalu at Dewey Beach turned into more than just a fling? Regardless of how you found yourself dating a Delawarean, welcome to the best kind of life – a Delaware lifestyle suits just about everyone. Here are a few things you really ought to know about life with a Delaware date.

1. We live for the beach.

Even in the dead of winter, we head to the beach to find our peace. There's nothing like sand between our toes and the sound of the waves lapping on the beach... so be ready for a road trip at any time.
2. And we're super picky about our seafood.

Living close to the bay and ocean means we're used to only the freshest seafood, so we're picky about crabcakes and shellfish outside of the area. Don't take offense, we just have good taste!
3. We'll always be up for taking the long way home.

Delawareans are used to taking the winding, country roads to avoid beach traffic, or regular traffic. We'll skip the highway any time.
4. And we might make you stop at roadside farm stands.

One perk to living in Delaware is how close our towns are to local farms. Even in New Castle County, we can get fresh produce from roadside farm stands - and we'll want to pull over for our favorite seasonal veggies.

Delawareans are really excited about our history, landmarks and state. While it's easy for others to say "dela-where?!" and make fun of our small state, we don't appreciate it, and we'll quickly set you straight.
7. We're great at cooking.
