I met my Swedish boyfriend over the internet on an obscure teen chat site two and a half years ago. We had been friends for over a year, telling each other about our culturally-different lives, harmlessly flirting with each other, and not realizing that we both had a soft corner for each other. Until the day when I found myself another “flirt” of sorts and my dear Swede got a tad jealous, realizing then that he did indeed feel a little more than just a feeling for me.

Being the sweetheart that he is, he wrote me the cutest poem everrr, expressing to me that he feels something for me and that he wonders if I feel the same way too. It was a ridiculously cute gesture and since then, there has been no looking back :D

We’ve now been together for more than a year! In the course of the year, we wrote essay-length mails to each other every single day; skyped, texted, chatted a lot; wrote real, handwritten letters to each other; he delivered roses to my school, sent me his favourite shirt, and candies; AND after six months of being together, he came to spend two weeks with me in my home (and was my first kiss ever!) :D

We’re both just short of our twenties but we do know that we love each other and that we want to marry each other and grow old together! :)

Love is weird. Strikes at odd moments. Makes you believe in miracles. And then… it disappears sometimes. Not all love is meant to be.

But this one is sure as hell is meant to be!
There’s nothing like our love <3!

@Abby – Keep us updated on the Swede.

@Tiny- How is it going with your Swede?

@Kassie – Just give him a kick in the balls, he’ll know then. Otherwise, you still have lots of pretty Swedes to like.

@Berenice- Congrats to you! Let us know how your move goes to Sweden.

@Winston- Good luck on all the paperwork junk and welcome to Sweden.

Hi, I met the love of my life , ( swedish girl )in South Africa. She was on a 3 week university exchange program. We went out almost everyday once we met & when she left we kept in contact via skype,sms & emails. I then visited her in Sweden for 2 weeks & we travelled to London together for a week, we decided there that we want to spend the rest of our lives together , she came back to South Africa 2 weeks after London & we got engaged! , i’m in the process of waiting for my permanent residence visa & soon we will be together again.

I wouldn’t have met her in Sweden if I was just travelling there. Sometimes life just happens & things happen for a reason.

Hi everyone

I met my swede fiancé 3 years ago in this community site “hi5″ hehe now I think about it!! It was kind of stupid cause I never trusted in “cyber-relationships” anyway, I had a formal boyfriend back then so Robert and I were only good friends, “How is the weather there” “How is family doing” here and there and well, about a year 1/2 ago we both were single =) and well we decided to “try out” I have gone to Sweden, he has come to Mexico, we are engaged and I am about to move to Sweden next October. I would have never expected that in my life! It just happened!

I think Swedish men must be the most beautiful men on the planet. If only the one that I fancy knew I existed!

I met my Swede in Manchester, UK. We work together and spent weeks dancing a merry dance round each other with neither of us making the first move… We FINALLY managed to go on a sort-of date. It only took 3 or for drinks before he made a move :)

That was two weeks ago and we’ve been inseparable since – he’s the funniest, nicest, most honest and genuine man I’ve ever met. Thank God for Swedes abroad! :)

We met in Glasgow, Scotland. And started dating the next day. He definitely made the first move (as being from the midwest I was raised to not make the first move, and I still believe in that rule…partially because I’m too lazy to be bothered. hehe) He’s not from Stockholm, and doesn’t seem to fit really any of the typical male Swedish stereotypes that I enjoy reading from Expat blogs. … well… except for the hair thing…he has more bad hair day fits then I’ve ever had in my life…bahaha.

He is the sweestest, honest, most genuine, kindest, person I’ve been with, and I love him dearly. I’m either moving to Sweden in the next year, or he’s coming to America. However, when we first started dating, even after seeing eachother daily for a month he was slow to make the commitment…after he committed…then he is committed…definitely worth waiting for.

From what I’ve seen from him, and his friends, once you find one, they’re in it for the long haul. All of his guy friends live with their girlfriends, and are completely devoted..and are quick to move in together (which is nothing like what my friends are like at home in the US) However, this could be a Southern Swedish thing…also that they are from a smaller city…Bigger cities always seem to have more problems in the dating sense I think…maybe that’s just me.
