Hey guys, my name is Marina and welcome to our new series what to know before you go?
So the reason I came up with a series is because I was really interested in in showing you what it's like
Dating around the world and some different dating styles and so before you pack your bags and before you go to that country
Know what it's like to be single there and know what to expect
So if you guys enjoy the whole concept of dating around the world and can't get enough of a whole
Love and travel aspects sign up and subscribe to our channel and don't forget to hit the bell button to receive
Notifications for future videos all right you ready let's go to Sweden
So I focus a lot in scandinavia in all of my videos
And I always say that there is no dating and this is especially true for sweden the concept of dating does not exist
So how does that all work?
so first of all you
Probably should go to a mutual friend's party or a club or a bar a place where you can meet people
So you're not going to meet them on the street here
And just as a side note scandinavians are all of other neutral colors guys
so if you're thinking of wearing red or hot pink you might get a lot more attention, so
stick maybe with your base or your black or something neutral?
Point to get drunk like a really drunk like viking drunk
I mean it's normal to go to a party and see someone with his you know
Perfectly put together shirt and hair like seconds later just yelling at the top of their voice
And you know just their hair all over the place
I mean, they're vikings right? They drink like vikings and swedes love to drink. So, you're gonna see a lot of that
Next, step number three um make out or possibly even have sex. This is quite normal in scandinavia it is normal to
Make out with strangers to get really close to strangers without even sometimes exchanging your names
When you exchange numbers don't forget to put the right name into your phone
I mean when I'm avoid embarrassment and know who you actually hooked up with at the party
And because of swedes are so scared of commitment and general awkwardness you can invite em for a date. Which is not really a date
but basically it's a non date or a date that it's considered a non date and
It is called FIKA and during the FIKA, which is pretty much like a daytime meeting where you have coffee, maybe some sweets
There are three topics that you can talk about which are housing problems
Differences between Stockholm and Gothenburg, or just a really terrible transit system which by the way is one of the best in the world
Yeah, the public transport, you know.. is bad
Yeah
And by the way if you're from countries like Spain, Italy or France, stay away from the kiss on the cheek
You seek an aim for is this kind of hot hug where you get some sort of bodily contact?
Only to separate again and and to breathe an air of relief
And you can start and end a FIKA with one of these
Okay, girls don't expect him to pay, you're a big girl
And in Sweden the focus is on
Equality so each person pays their own share and don't expect them to make them first move again
You're a big girl and this is Sweden, and everyone is equal and both of you can make a move in Sweden
So don't expect him to do it first, you can do it first, and he's not even going to be faced
It's completely normal there and by the way if he sends you a text with puss-puss in it
It doesn't mean he's trying to get into the sack. He's basically telling you kiss kiss which is a good thing
push
Jaaaa
So basically as I mention before, the concept of dating really doesn't exist in Scandinavia
especially in countries like Sweden
and even if you've already had all of the above expect that there's going to be strain in the conversation as
Scandinavians are not natural conversationalist. So you expect to get a lot of cinema dates
Netflix and chill and basically staring at the screen a lot of times as you try to make some further conversation
Cio say Austin Master the most efficient and remember
the calmness
Today knowing that we see them
now
