    1. We are used to disappointment when it comes to dating.

    E!

    Seriously, check out anything Miami-dating-related and you'll see the amount of sheer ridiculousness we've had to put up with, from trying to date someone who lives too far away (You're in Miami Gardens? I can't, sorry.) to attempting alone time with someone who still lives at home.

    2. We don't all want to spend entire weekend with you at the beach.

    Some Miamians (who shall remain nameless) might have lived most of their lives there and only went to Matheson Hammock, like, one time.

    3. If fact, a lot that's written or discussed about Miami people as a group does not apply to Miamians as individuals.

    4. This is true, though: You must be well-versed in the art of chisme to maintain a relationship with a Miamian.

    Or else just be OK with the reality that we'll gossip with all our friends about you. It's gonna happen.

    5. Also please understand that Miami is, in many ways, a small town where everyone know who everyone else is dating.

    6. Don't mention LeBron on a date.

    Seriously. The wound is still too fresh.

    7. You MUST BE ABLE TO LIFT.

    8. Speaking of pizza, you must be able to answer this question: Where will we go on our first Miami pizza date? Sir Pizza? Or Frankie's?

    9. In fact, we have very high standards for food overall.

    10. And we're sort of particular about our coffee dates.

    11. The 4th of July and New Year's Eve are not the best date nights for us.

    12. We're not being loud while flirting with you. Everything in Miami is just... amplified.

    E!

    LIFE ON CAPS LOCK.

    13. Yes, Miami is home to the world's most beautiful people.

    14. Sometimes we don't even mean to "dress sexy" on dates. Coming from such a hot, muggy place, our idea of casual wear tends to be a little different from other people's.

    15. Also, date nights in Miami can be a lot dressier than people expect!

    16. At some point in your relationship, you will have to pose in front of the Wynwood Walls.

    17. Miami has its own, unique vocabulary, and chances are you'll be using it, too.

    18. If the person you're dating left Miami, you'll have to go back with them at some point because you never really LEAVE Miami.
