I've been dating a Hawaii local for over a year now, and sometimes it's like he's from another country. His quirky sayings and actions are sometimes foreign to my "mainland" ways, but that just makes our relationship more fun. Here are 14 things you'll understand if you've ever dated a Hawaiian.
1. They calls sandals "slippers".
2. Instead of saying, "Would you like to go to the gym with me," they say, "We go gym"?
3. His wardrobe consists mainly of board shorts and joggers.
4. Common Kings will pop up on their playlist at least once a day.
5. They eat rice with every meal (even breakfast).
6. They call everyone from back home their "cousin" or "aunty" (even though they're not related).
7. They make a good spam musubi.
8. She requests that you give her your jacket when it's 70 degrees outside.
9. They'll have made you try li hing mui at least once. It's gross.
10. Her Instagram is filled with bikini pics (and they're fabulous).
11. They'll talk about how good Zippy's is, but you don't know what they're talking about.
12. They have the coolest looking ID ever.
13. They have a slight accent, but they don't think that they do.
14. They party harder than anyone else you know.
15. When you ask, "What are you up to," He'll respond with, "I'm just cruising".
