It’s weekend and it’s time for some action. It’s the perfect time to meet new people and to go on a date. But do you know how dating in Sweden works? Do you know that apparently for dating in Sweden you have to get really, really drunk ;-) ?

As a non-Swede it is hard to get how Swedes manage to go on dates since they appear to be rather shy or reserved (sorry for generalizing!). We found an incredibly funny article about how dating in Sweden works. Even if the author might generalize and exaggerate at some points, she describes pretty much what we can observe here in Lund sometimes – at least some aspects of it ;-)

But read for yourself:  The Local – Dating in Sweden

And if you want to find out if your Swedish skills are already good enough for dating a Swede, try our Dating Quiz which we created for you! (Tip: some hints to the answers can be found in the two Simple Swedish lessons we posted a few days ago).

If a Swede tells you…

  1. “Jag måste kissa!” he/she

    2. wants to kiss you
    has to pee
    finds something very funny

  2. “Det är slut”! he/she

    3. says that you look beautiful
    says you are a hooker
    says that it is over

  3. “Jag vill sex av dem” he/she

    4. wants sex with you
    orders six (shots,kanelbullar or whatever) for you
    wants you to look him/her in the eyes

  4. “Vill du gifta dig med mig?” he/she

    5. wants to marry you
    says you are very talented
    wants to give you a present

  5. “Fan!” he/she

    6. feels hot and needs some cooling
    is a big admirer of you
    swears

And of course we would be curious to hear your experiences with dating a Swede ;-)
