Do you want to date a Swedish woman-or are you already dating one?
Then you need to know the most dangerous word in the Swedish language:
Maybe.
If you are already dating one, you probably learned this the hard way.
The Swedish gentleman has not disappeared. He has simply evolved.
Good manners still matter-but the rules have changed. Hold the door. Keep your word. Notice when she is cold. Make an effort. Just remember that she is perfectly capable of doing everything herself-and may still notice whether you offered.
Fika may or may not be a date. Silence does not necessarily mean that something is wrong. Personal space is sacred. And when the bill arrives, one wrong move can become an international incident.
Oh... You Got a Swedish Girlfriend? Good Luck. takes foreign boyfriends through the unwritten rules of Swedish romance-using cultural observations, questionable advice and exactly the amount of confidence you should never display on a first date.
Inside, you'll discover:
- Why punctuality is surprisingly attractive
- When to hold the door-and when to stop making a performance of it
- What to do when the bill arrives
- Why maybe is never a simple answer
- How to survive fika, silence and the day-after text
- Why equality does not mean you can stop making an effort
- The difference between being a gentleman-and just being lazy
Perfect for foreign boyfriends, hopeful dates and anyone staring at a two-word reply and wondering what went wrong.
Will this book help you understand your Swedish girlfriend?
Maybe.
Good luck.
