just be friendly, and others will be friendly towards you,,,im sure its like that most places, well hopefully most places..

the only time ive seen folks get a bit suspicious about people from away, its usually in the small fishing and farming towns,,where not only does everyone know each other,,they are related,,(the genepool is quite shallow)
having said this,,i do believe the times are a changing,,,most welcome outsiders ...its good for the genepool

bluewatergirl, dont worry bout fittin in,,,just smile, be friendly, and oh yes,,,if you are female, and quite the looker,,,maine men will be very gracious and friendly,,(in a nice way) , and i dare say the men will warm up to you quicker than some woman,,,,,some maine woman,,,dont like thier man smiling or being friendly towards a pretty woman,,,so dont be offended if some woman dont warm up to you right away..,,,i know this sounds small-minded and ,,silly, but ive witnessed this firsthand,,

my best advice for anyone moving to maine,,is just be friendly,,,and never be arrogant, condescending, we pick up on that very quickly,,and dont be flashy, or fake, and if you talk to maine natives,,like they are stupid, ignorant, or talk down to us,,,we take offense,,,,and one more thing,,,,there was an episode on "seinfeld" , i think it was judge reinhold,,that was a "close-talker" got three inches from your face,,,we despise that,,,ive noticed,,,some out of staters are very loud,,and close-talkers,,and try not to spit when talking,,,

one of the best and quickest ways to meet your neighbors, is to have a "lawn-sale" or garage sale,,,doesnt matter if you put all junk on your lawn,,and put a for sale sign out there,,everybody in town will stop by,,,

welcome to maine!

Nope! I've never had one deleted, so I'm not sure. I guess we're bad girls!
