Hey Sapphire, I hope you are well. I live closeby in Stockholm and could answer some of these questions over a cup of coffee in stockholm. I’m 18 years old and would love to tidscuss these things. I’m abit shy and maybe not as old as you would want. But it would be an interesting experience to meet you, Well you got my mail.

Greetings Nick

Hey Sapphire,

I’ve been browsing through your blogs for a couple of days now and I think that most of your posts are hilarious! I’m planning to be in Stockholm for 2/3 weeks in the summer, and I was hoping you could give me some hot spots from you! Some places to hang out at evening, or to relax during the day. I’m having my final exams in May this year, and I’ve talked with four of my friends to make a Eurotrip. But we kinda all agreed on the first meeting that we should skip all the countries and go straight to Stockholm…

We’re really anxious to find out what rumors/stereotypes of Sweden are true, since we’ve heard a lot of good stuff about the country. I hope you can tell me some of the do’s and don’ts for us!!

Best of luck from Holland,

Max

@Moonlight – I agree with Björn, if the guy can’t even say ‘I miss you’ or even ‘i like hanging out with you’ then he’s some stupid guy. And even if he’s shy, he should have some brains.

@Anders – I’m still not sure how Swedes get together with each other but a change in your style to be a little more unswedish may bode well.

Most importantly, just be confident and happy.

hello everyone!
I am 33 years old and a man. I am from Sweden. I am ordinary and easy going i guess not like a swedish man should behave. I react on the fact that we swedish men cant show feelings when we are at the pub or restaurang or whatever. I must say i find it very hard to even get eye contact and “i dont kill people with my eyes” so to speak. And another thing the girls i have talked to mostly girls from other countries. Almost everyone says to me: You are cute and handsome and second of all you dont look like 33 more like 23. Compared that to the real world i am screwed. I guess i am strange or act unswedish or impolite i dont know really.

Björn,

thanks for the reply, I thought he might not be completely over his ex, but the more I think about it, he might be just playing with me… :( You’re right, he probably just wants to sleep with me (and he made that as clear as it gets) and I fell for him completely… :( I still dont get him though – why did he bother writing to me in the first place (I was the one to give my email address to him, but didnt ask for his, and he was pretty quick to contact me), he’s the one suggesting a date in Venice, jacuzzi together after sightseeing, and much more after the jacuzzi, but goes completely cold after hearing that I cant travel anywhere due to health. Dont get me wrong, I told him that I would absolutely love that… I should probably move on… Serves me right for being so childish and naive:(

@ Moonlight

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but as a swedish guy. I would say that if he cant even say something small as a “I will miss you too” then it might not be the “one”. I mean If I would really like a girl and she would say something like that, then it would give me a huge amount of butterflies in my stomach hehe. I wouldt tell the whole world of course, but I would at the very least give the girl a similair answer in return.

And if it of any help, I am pretty shy too =P

hey all, it seems like whatever I google about swedes – this site comes up:) I’m in a complicated situation with a swede atm, we only met once, but chatting on msn ever since that night. He’s adorable, but I dont understand him most of the time… he flirts with me a lot, I know he likes me, but, for example, when saying bye I say I’ll miss him, he just writes “awww, how sweet” instead of saying he’d miss me too… :( I know he’s shy, he’s probably afraid as well, because it turns out that he always ends up dumped by girls and so on… I just dont get it – what do I have to prove to him to get him to open up?… I told him I’d like to meet him again, and it seems “sudden” for him for some reason. I didnt get a full opinion about that, because during that conversation I remembered that I cant fly over (I’m in England, he’s in Sweden, we met in Manchester) because shortly after we met I had a deep venous thrombosis and am not allowed to take any trips for at least a year. I’m on the edge of giving up – maybe its just not meant to be?…

Anyway, Sapphire, whats your blogspot url? I’d like to follow and see if I can come to understanding him more… btw, mine’s moonlightam.blogspot.com
