The sun is out, cuffing season is finally behind us, and hot girl summer is just around the corner. It is high time then that I fulfill my duty as an internet big sister and share with you everything I know about dating in Norway. Having done more research on the topic than I have probably done for my thesis, I do know quite a bit.
For all intents and purposes, if I ever swiped right on you, it was purely due to scientific curiosity. Long gone are the days of meeting a mysterious stranger in a coffee shop. Your parents may tell you how one day they locked eyes in the library, and the rest was history. Nervous about what your opening line should be?
You, however, should definitely care about what their opener is. Trust me on that. The one piece of wisdom I can share though, is to ask them their opinion on Jordan Peterson or Ben Shapiro quite early on, it will save you some time. Do try to fight the urge to download Bumble or Tinder on Friday night. And for the love of God, do not link your Instagram to the profile.
A nice hike, museum trip, a picnic? I would get a vase ready either, do yourself a favour and buy those roses yourself. The best thing you can do is to schedule brunch with your friends for the day after. Trash talking men while day drinking and eating overpriced piece of toast just hits different. Did you get ghosted? What I did not expect however, is getting ghosted after 5 dates. Guess what colour is the flag? Situationship not to be confused with friends with benefits is the worst you can get.
Save yourself some time and heartbreak - have that conversation. You can book an appointment with a public health nurse in SiO health services, who can provide a guidance on issues like contraception, abortion or HPV vaccination.
