Is love in the air for you? If you find yourself starting to fall head over heels for an Arizonan, you might want to consider some of these dating tips for your fledgling relationship.
- First things first. If you’re serious about someone in Arizona, know that at some point you WILL end up moving to our state and staying. Even long after the relationship is over.

- What would a normal date look like? Well, you should probably expect to participate in plenty of outdoorsy activities such as hiking or camping.

- You should probably also expect to go shooting. There’s nothing that stirs romance quite like the smell of gunpowder.

- Depending on where in the state your sweetie is from, a night out might look like this:

- Food is a must. Arizonans will also show you all the best places to get food—both what’s considered traditional Arizona fare and plenty of other cuisines.

- Just don’t take them to the wrong taco joint.

- About 1 in 5 Arizonans speak a second language, so if you don’t want to miss out on all the laughs when meeting their family, you may want to consider learning the language.

- It’s also important to know that most Arizonans have a tough, often prickly demeanor (much like a prickly pear cactus) but deep down, we’re deeply loving and caring people.
