The swedish dating culture is very simple really. You go to a party/club or any other event. See a person you like and starts flirting with them. If they do the same to you, you start texting and hang out as friends while still continuing the flirting thing. This continues until one of you make it official that you are together

We do date, but its not for a set timeperiod and the rules of dating is different for every couple. I think shes wrong with that one.

I think the thing with dating is that we swedes are very "awkward" people and so the dating here is a different thing than going on a dinner with one specific person as a first thing. we tend to meet at parties, at the club, at friends dinners etc where alcohol is involved so the situation becomes a bit casual and you can talk with whomever is there. You keep doing that until you feel like you've found each other and *then* you go on "dates" but at that point you're already an invested couple.

Children have not automatically been made members of the Swedish Church since 1996. For membership you now need to activly "sign up" or get baptised. And even though most people probably are agnostics or atists, many people still like the ceremony and tradition of a baptism 😅

I live in Sweden. I have 3 kids that all have learned English from KZread. My youngest choose English as his first language since it's easier for him. You can leave the church if you want to. I did since I didn't want to pay taxes to a church I didn't believe in. My husband left at the same time and since we left before we had kids our kids didn't become members of the church from birth. If they want to they can do it later in life.

Then there's powdered gravy, hollandaise, bearnaise and other such sauces, soups, chocolate pudding and similar fluffy desserts, custard, rosehip soup, chocolate milk/hot cocoa... more than that since those are just the ones off the top of my head that I know I've had at one point or another during my childhood. And speaking of cake, when I grew up and my parents didn't have the time or energy to make one completely from scratch, they bought a sponge cake from the supermarket, one specifically made for being used in a layered cake, added the filling, covered the whole thing in whipped cream and then decorated it with either candy or berries depending on the season. They didn't have the money to buy a ready-made one from a bakery, but the difference in cost between getting a simple sponge cake from the supermarket and making it from scratch was negligible.

The thing about religion in Sweden is that even though many people are "enrolled" in the swedish church they might not identify as christians or religious people. They can however still have lots of respect for the church and religious people overall, thankful for all the good things that they bring to society, maintaining beautiful churches that are used for weddings, baptisms, school gradution etc. It is quite common to baptise a child without the family being religious, it's more tradition really. Swedish culture is heavily inspired by christian morals and beliefs, something that is deeply rooted in society even though people might not go to church and consider themselves religious. There is however a downward trend in recent years of citizens that opt-out since there is a small tax that you pay to the swedish church if you want to be enrolled so to speak.

Swedish "dating" (which isn't really dating) is a lot of beating around the bush, looking for excuses to "accidentally" be in the same place as the other person, flirting while pretending you aren't flirting, anguishing whether the other person feels the same... Until you discover that the other person indeed feels the same. At this point, you probably go home with/to the other person, watch a film together, kiss a lot... And you're in a relationship. Not a domestic partnership or marriage, but you're now "taken" instead of "single". This mutual agreement not to see other people applies even to 8 year olds who send notes via friends at school: "Do you want to be with me?". At this point, the 8-year-olds also agree not to speak a word to each other for the duration of the "relationship", because that's how shy kids are. 😂 And it lasts, obviously, either until someone breaks up, or it advances to the next stage. Teenagers can be together in this kind of relationship for anything from weeks to years, all while living at their parents' house. How much time they spend at each other's place is up to their parents, I guess. In my experience, Swedish parents are pretty laid back about sleepovers. Adults usually spend a year or two in this kind of relationship, spending time at each other's places, keeping some basic clothes and necessities there so they can stay the night, but also not jumping into the serious matter of a shared household until they feel certain the relationship will last. The "let's go for dinner/movie/whatever and then not see each other for several days, and keep doing this for weeks and months" doesn't really exist. It's on or off. All or nothing. Either you're single, or you're in a relationship. (Or you're anguishing and flirting-but-not-flirting and hoping to maybe get into a relationship soon.)

I'm not sure if the dating culture has changed amongst younger people, but when I was growing up in Sweden, people for sure went on dates - although it was much more common to meet up and do things together at first rather than perhaps a traditional dinner date. Like, take a walk, bowling etc, keep it unformal and casual. Or meet up with friends in a bar. One significant detail tho is that for me and everyone I know at least it was really uncommon to date multiple people at once. This sort of situationship thing, keeping it open, it must be something new, more or less imported from the US by younger people today. It's not a culture that I'm a fan of.

About the dating. You meet someone, hang out, have sex, get to know each other and one day you are just an item.. Sure you can go out and eat or go to the movies, but it's often not like a "date". It's more a joined decision than someone asking someone out on a date.

Fika is not just swedish, it is as common in Finland too. I was born in Finland and moved to Sweden when I was 7.

Historically Sweden hasn’t really had a culture of “courting” so to speak, and I think that’s what she means with Swedes not dating. I feel though that it is a little misleading, as we do in fact date, but it’s usually less formal than for example in America. It’s more common to “hang out” with someone, or say that you’re “seeing” someone, so It’s more of a cause of semantics and phrasing. And we don’t really have a culture of walking up to strangers on the street or on the bus and asking them out. It’s usually at the club, friend of a friend at a party etc. Also, we don’t have the same social norms around when to sleep with someone, so you can go home with someone, and then after that start seeing them etc - there’s just less rules I Guess. But if you’re not a person who has dating apps or are at social settings, it could make it a bit difficult to meet someone I guess. Nowadays though, there is definitely a strong dating culture, because of tinder, hinge - atleast in Stockholm. It’s just not as common to formally ask someone out by saying “would you like to go on a date”. You would more likely say “would you like to get a beer sometime” or “we should go there together” etc!

Yeah I’m beginning to realise how similar we are. I don’t think the culture shock will be that bad when I go.

Swedish people do date! I did, my friends did. It differs where the two meet, but if they are interested in each other they meet up and spend time together to get to know each other. If they click they usually make it official that they’re a couple or if they don’t click they go their separate ways. If that’s not dating I don’t know what is. 😂 I think younger swedes are too influenced by american culture and refer to dating as they do in the movies. I have no idea what she means. 😂

I agree when my wife's daughter will come to us hm clean there pick up vacuum the floors make the bed arrange the pillows on the couch lol I recognize it

If I were to ask a girl on a date here in Sweden she would think I was a psychopath. What happens when a couple is formed is more a process where they get closer and closer until suddenly they cross over into being a couple.

Nowadays we swedes are not born into the swedish church. That stopped in 1996. Before the baby automaticly became a member if any of the parents was.

Her jumper is norwegian pattern....😂

She is very young, so she is excused, but she got this "om bakfoten", on the rear foot. "Hel och ren", whole and clean, was originaly most about keeping your children fed and clean and their clothes mended and as clean as possible. No matter how poor you were, you made sure you did your best with that. So today when we older people, I'm 63 soon, se young people with deliberately torn clothes, I am offended on behalf of my ancestors. I know it is ridicculous, but I can't help myself.

If you recognize a lot, it's not that strange - we are both Germanic cultures in a temperate climate.. also Vikings!

The "Hel and Ren" doesn't apply to me lol! I don´t give a shit. NO that does not mean it's dusty or dirty

Curappu! (That's katakana for "crap" you flop weebu!) I wrote something really smart and longwinded that sadly (yeah, right!) just...well, it was lost somewhere. The consensus was that the UK stood us Europeans up like a cheap date! But that we're still family. 😬

I'm not enrolled in church because my parents had exited the church system before I was born. I do have the choice to join as n adult if I want to.

Cutting pizza with scissors is in no way a Swedish typical thing. I've never once done that and I don't know anyone who does. We cut it with a knife and fork. We don't really have a dating culture in Sweden. Sure, some go on dates, even more so nowadays, but mostly you just meet someone and spend time with them and then you get together. And we don't call it dating when you're in a relationship with someone like Americans and other English speaking coubtries do. Dating to us is when you go on a few dates before getting together. You stop call it that when you're in a relationship.

Only pizza amateurs don´t know about the scissors.😘

I have never heard, seen or cut pizzas with scizzors

one of the worst insults i gotten was when i pointed out to a man that was trying to claim he gotten my friend to sign the old contracts and so now after the math should sign the new. that would make him able to keep her deposit money. i pointed out that you can not go back on stuff like that once a contract been sign and he will have to abide by the contract that was sign sens that was the agreement. that it would be illegal otherwise. nothing else. no mention or implications of where he was born or how much mélange his skin had. he went of ranting insinuation clearly that i only said it because of his race. i was horrified literally crying outside afterwards. for me we are all humans, its what you do thats important and to stand up when something is happening that is not ok. trying to trick my best friend out of her deposit was not ok thats all. point is, most swedes wouldn't care where you are from as long as you treat us whit the same respect as we would give you. unfortunally to ppl using race as weapon many feel bullied. and we wont stand for being trampled, so there are divides more then there used to. so we don't like talking about race. color don't make the person. so we rather not talk about it. (when we had slaves they where a very diverse group. some even just from the village net door. )

Have never met a person in sweden cuting pizza with scissors

Swedes might be less and less religious, but according to me I don’t see it as being religious or even a believer just because you’re automatically a member of the Swedish church (Protestants) once you’re born. That’s why for me the confirmation ceremony is so important. Then you’re old enough (14-15 years old) to make your own decision and take a stand. If you don’t believe you can always leave the church once you’re of legal age. But, many I know who say they don’t believe still choose to baptise their children or get married in a church. But maybe more due to tradition. For many swedes the church is more like something that needs to be there because it always has but not something they would take part of or engage in. Although the church is still very important to many of us, like me. I took a decision during my confirmation lessons. But I went from a non believer family to be a believer. However I don’t go to church every Sunday, but I am a proud believer and engage myself in my local parish in other ways than attending services.

Until this video I honestly didn't think anyone would have a shared duvet. That makes no sense, you're not sharing any other clothing (atleast not at the same time) why would you do so with a duvet?

Children are enrolled in swedish church only if they are baptised in chruch. Otherwise not, before 1996 children became automatic enrolled if their parents were. Personally I left church as an adult since some of the taxes are payed to swedish church, since I left I get to keep that money. Not much but still..

we meet in school or work or mutual friends. Dating is you meeting someone you should not meet, completly un-naturall

The school is blowing up in pieces when it comes to education. The problem spells,,,imigration. People from middle east refuse to learn swedish and refuse to addept to west civilazation

In Sweden we ask if you're Swedish if not then we ask where your from and you just say your country and that's it. So you can be a white guy from Africa and we don't ask stupid question or assume you're lying.

Fun to know how equal sweedish and norwegian are❤

Why is Sweden not so religous? Because swedish church in our history have been very cruel towards people. There was House interrogation, church control and persecution. One of the reason why people emigrated to America.

@@TzOn79 yeah of course. But people around the world is educated and still religion is a big part of their culture. Not like here in nordic. Its important not to neglect our history. Because if we do history can repeat itself.

Kaka for the fika is usually something else in other languages than the pastry/cookie/biscuit/cake swedes refer to 😅@@ln8173

She is generalising a tad much, but the part with the duvets is definitely a thing

If you meet someone on a dating app you’ll have one date and if that one feels bad you’ll ghost each other or one of you will, if you hit it off you’ll invite the other other one home, we have sex early, no rules, just follow our hearts and our guts.
