Get to know other transplants to Minnesota ahead of time or find a way to meet some once you move. Native Minnesotans are notoriously tough to befriend; many Minnesotans have friend groups that go back to primary school and can be kind of standoffish at first.

Just remember that Minnesota Nice is not a complement.

It's not but it's not really an insult either unless your a dick who's misusing the term.

Minnesota nice is a cultural stereotype applied to the behavior of people from the U.S. state of Minnesota, implying residents are unusually courteous, reserved, and mild-mannered compared to people from other states. The phrase also implies polite friendliness, an aversion to open confrontation, a tendency toward understatement, a disinclination to make a direct fuss or stand out, apparent emotional restraint, and self-deprecation.

Having spent a number of decades in Minnesota I'd say Wikipedia pretty accurately captures Minnesota Nice.

This got reported. I think you're walking the line of rule 5, but you haven't crossed it. Let's enjoy the weekend everyone.
