What to know about the Swede – Part I

8, Jun 2008

An unintended consequence of finding a Swede and sticking to him, is having a monogamous relationship. The Swede I met in the US, Þorbjörn, has decided we should stick together. (Well, I agree too) Adorable, very endearing, shy, he is a perfect a little Swedish specimen. The problem now arises that I can no longer [...]

Americanisms in dating…Of wingmen and pilots

11, Apr 2008

I’ve been trying to come up with something to post about this week and life hasn’t been exciting. I thought however we would revisit Þorbjörn, the little swede I met in the US. We had a discussion about meeting someone in a bar in Sweden versus the US. Here are the conversations (edited to make [...]

Online Dating…Part 3

16, Dec 2007

Okay! I officially switched networks to Stockholm and put up a photo a few days ago. Sadly, that has not stopped weird Spanish speaking people from “winking” at me…Maybe I signed up for the Match.espana instead of sverige? haha. And, let’s not forget the 40-60 year old males winking. Ewwwww… But! Some profile observations on [...]

Love through Materialism

10, Dec 2007

You know when it is Christmas in the United States for two reasons: 1) car commercials; 2) love can only be expressed through a diamond of some sort. DeBeers, Kays, Jared…the list goes on. Men are told that they need to buy some shiny, hard, graphite object in order to show their love for their [...]

Online Dating…Part 2

15, Nov 2007

I thought I would update everyone on the online dating via match.se Well, it’s not really going anywhere for a few reasons: 1) I have no photo posted – I will have to post one. Hopefully the world doesn’t find out my SN. :-P 2) All I get are matches that are in…Spanish!!! Yes, Spanish. [...]

Dating in Sweden…Need Your Help

29, Oct 2007

I was checking out my blog stats today and noticed the original Dating in Sweden post was the most popular. Now I am guessing that post does not enlighten those of us who are currently confused because I am confused too. I propose that if there are any Swedes (male or female) willing to take [...]

Online Dating…A social experiment

17, Oct 2007

Several weeks ago I decided to sign up for Match.com in the US. To me it felt like the last ditch effort to not just find the “l’homme de la vie” but a regular man to go out with. Nothing materialized; a few people wrote to me but I was just not interested. And there [...]

What I learned in 40 hours in Stockholm, Sweden

16, Sep 2007

I went to Sweden for the first time on September 1st and stayed for a mere 40 hours (why so short? that’s another story). I feel love in though: the people, the country, the city, the progressive ideals, and the T-banan (a functioning metro system) made me feel “home.” Well, everything except feminism gone insane [...]
