But my significant other was not that into tiki when I met him. He thought it looked ok and even fun, but barely gave it all much thought. When he got to know me, he liked me so much that he wanted to get into my interests so we would have even more in common, and be able to do things together. He wanted to please me, and started looking up tiki places to take me to so that I would be happy about our dates! He even took me to my first visit to the Mai Kai (I wasnt living in Ft Lauderdale yet, and lived pretty far from it. He drove me all the way, and pulled out all the stops. We shared our very first kiss in the Mai Kai gardens! And he started buying me tiki mugs to make me smile. But the fun thing is... through buying me tiki stuff to make ME happy, he started seeing stuff HE liked! He took me to The Hukilau and while helping me find items for my new apartment. (I loved The Mai Kai so much that I MOVED from where I had been living about an hour and a half away, to a new apartment 15 minutes away, which HE found for me. He is a realtor by day.) While we were looking at merchandise for ME, he started to see things HE liked for HIMSELF! And when bands played, he got all into them and would go buy the CDs! Now its about a year later, and we are living together in the same apartment. Close to The Mai Kai. And we are tikifying the pad together, and he is suddenly really embracing tiki. We go to events together, look for mugs together, go to happy hour at the Mai Kai together, you name it. I guess he just got into tiki because he was so into me? How loveable is THAT?!!! :D What a catch! :D Now I have started trying to set up a home-based tiki business. Guess who asked to be my manager? :) As for you, just go alone! Can you do that? We will all have so much fun together! You will love it, and she will be able to stay at home and rest and stuff! Come without her. Its your life, and you need to live it. :wink: 5 days out of 365 in a year isnt too much to ask. COME TO HUKILAU! :D ~L :wink:
