Oh, and if you're getting a "fika" (which is Swedish for coffee) with someone, you shouldn't get it with anyone else.
According to The Local, the best way to be successful at dating in Sweden is to keep it casual - don't call anything you do a "date" (Swedes apparently prefer simple coffee outings to dinners and movies) and start and end the hangout with a hug, not a kiss. It does, however, have different rules than other countries. That said, dating in Sweden isn't impossible. According to BBC, Sweden is one of the hardest places to find a romantic partner because of the country's many cultural norms, such as affordable single living homes and a general spirit of independence, that seem to promote staying single. If you're looking to move to Sweden specifically to find love, you may want to reconsider. In Sweden, you can expect to drink a lot of coffee when looking for love.
