Whether you're looking for your first serious relationship, or just ended your third marriage and think you'd be happier being married to a Platypus, I've come up with a simple way to make dating in and around Minnesota a LOT easier.

From Rochester to Warroad, and everywhere in between, Minnesotans have to get to know a lot about people before they'll go out on a first date. Mostly because it's so blasted cold and snowy, you really have to WANT to see the person to get all dressed up in winter gear.

"Hi, how you doin'?" has seen its last days as a useful way to get to know people, because we all assume you just mean, "Hi!"

Now it's up to you!

I've given you the tools, now it's up to you. Ask the questions, and listen to the answers. Are they oddballs that'll make your life miserable? Then move on and find someone way cooler.
