Things to NEVER do While Dating in Sweden?

I asked people on the streets of Gothenburg what not to do while dating in Sweden, from paying, to faux pas. Here is what the Swedes had to say.

  • Seems like the guys like the way things are for the most part but it seems like the women are open to more β€œtraditional” things like the man asking out and paying for dinner or paying for a drink. Interesting πŸ€”

    • Swedish man who has dated quite a lot here. It's no wonder that it's like that in dating, because even if most things were in the man's favor
      before not everything was, I think many men look forward to, for example that girls take the first step as often as men, or ask men out to the same extent as men do. For many men I think they see it will be one of their gains with more equalit, unfortunately we are not there yet.

    • Wait a second, are u saying that even in the most equality based society in the world, where women have more rights than any other country, that they are still not happy? Nooooooo! LOL

  • I live in Sweden and swedes are generally well intentioned , I am sure they would invite but when you go out with your friends and drinks cost minimum 15 euros it puts the mood down and forces to split a bit
    Problem is that the high cost of living for leisure kind of ruins the party mood, and if you invite people Γ©ventually will give it back to you so it is about to show that we can have a more convivial approach and then Swedes are hooked πŸ€—

    • In 1998, I had to change planes at Stockholm Airport.
      Two small beers for my colleague and myself were more than $16 .
      God only knows what it would be now !!

    • Then imagine a full night out and the concept of splitting the bill ain't that weird anymore :)

  • Thank you Marina. This video is very helpful. I like all your videos in Nordic countries!

  • Hi Marina! I love your channel and wanted to ask, are you planning on making anymore you know you are dating videos? They are the best, and I would love to see a video about dating a New Zealand man and woman. Have an incredible day and can’t wait to see more videos!

  • Answer to the ”no one ever buys me a beer/drink” thing they talk about and preferences.

    1. Swedish girls in most situations when you been here long enough always shut men down in different ways and are very cold, so asking girls out turns into a big negative situation(not worth it) as in other countries.
    2. Tinder desensitise an already very private social structure.
    3. Nothing said as good qualities in this video by the people interviewed is generally seen as something positive in Swedish society.

    What nr 3. Is though is something that breaks the norm making it more exotic and if swedish girls likes anything it is something exotic.. for a short while at least :)

    • I am Mexican living in Gothenburg, nobody as me out, smile at me, chat with me πŸ˜… I have 2 years here, still very confused with men here.

    • ​@@Hednahey, not sure if you need or want my advice, but it seems pretty simple. Men there aren't going to act that way. If you like a guy, you're going to have to initiate a little.
