You'd think that through the power of TV and movies,Swedish men would have seen the proper? way to act around a girl on a date or whatever,and adapted. I suppose we all find differences in culture and mindset in other countries when we've been brought up a specific way.Could be fun to read a Swedish blog about the problems of dating British and American people. Came across another blog a while ago similar to this one,though i think she was a Brit journalist on a mission to write a piece on dating Swedish men.Anyhow,it was funny to read how shocked she was after a dinner date when she did the usual (polite)thing,and asked him.."I'll pay half of the bill ok?" He mumbled "ok"...and held out his hand! lol (For the Swedish males reading this the thing to say is "no thats ok,i've got it covered") To me,a Brit,and i suppose American men,our mindset on a date is basically of a sexual nature and all this meal and wine stuff is just foreplay.(If we're honest lol). We KNOW..that if we make one slip up then there's gonna be no chance (if any)of late night frolics! Accepting her offer to pay half the bill will get you as far as if you went back and beat her cat to death with a bat!!! (Things could be a lot different with a Swedish girl? I don't know,never been out on a date with one.) Some girls actually don't mind paying half,but it's not the accepted rule of thumb! There must be hundreds of funny stories like this.

Then at the next day he pops with a cute phrase like "I miss you and need you" or "Im about to have sweet dreams with you this night" lol. But he didn't answer anything about my letters. And again I feel in the damn clouds! grrrr. I don’t like silence, and when he (my swede sweetheart) doesn’t answer me back, after a long letter I sent to him, I feel ignored.

Being a single male "Swede" this was fun reading. Not just this blog-entry but this whole site has had me (for some reason) mesmerized. lol. I´m gonna stop by here again, rest asure. If you need a "interview with a Swede" I´m sure I´ll be able to help with questions - (should there be any). Since there seem to be some confusion regarding swedes (or Swedish males to be specific). haha I stumbled upon this blog by accident.
