Yes, I've been bad

But not bad in the way all of those of you with perverted minds are thinking. I've been really bad at updating this week. Since I don't have internet in the new apartment yet, I am currently at a computer terminal at the 7/11 around the corner from my new apartment. Sitting next to two guys surfing porn sites really doesn't give me much creative inspiration. Actually, you would think that would provide plenty of "blog fodder," but I'm not really in the mood to be sarcastic (for once). A good friend of mine from Austria is visiting for the weekend, and she has promised to be a "guest blogger" and present her views on dating in the U.S. as she spent a year there as an exchange student. Should be a nice point-counterpoint to my own perception of things here in Sweden. Are there any Swedes out there who want to take a crack at dating in the U.S.? (I guess the assumption would be that you have spent some time there, and are not just entirely pulling it out of your ass). Next week I'll also present the results of the "Swedish Mating and Dating Part I & II"survey, since there have been quite a few responses to both now. Alright allihop, have a great weekend!

I also spent a year in the U.S. as an exchange student, but as far as I can remember I didn't go on a single date. But I guess that says more about me than the U.S. dating scene. Looking forward to your friends opinion about it though.

Oscar, you'd better watch it. You're starting to speak "svengelska" just like me!

Don’t really understand American girls...They are nice but a single date with any of them would probably end up with she not understanding my sense of humor and then run out...So I'm glad I don’t have to date.

I would date, if I could find something I wanted to date.

Or maybe I should just try and get out of Kansas.

s., what don't you get about american girls? generally, we're pretty straightforward.

good one, i'm hoping that it's a typo and you intended to type "someone" rather than "something" you wanted to date. ;)

It's not a typo, just me losing hope ;)

My impression is that dating in the U.S is different depending on where you are. Dating in Chicago certainly isn't the same as dating in a cornfield in the middle of Ohio.

Hey...maybe I _could_ make a post about it.

Have you done any dating in the middle of a cornfield in Ohio? If so, I would love to hear about it.
