Haha I think I need to clear up this dating/hugging-thingy a bit ;)
I don't think it's something strange to go out on a coffee or so with a friend and then hug him/her. ;)
Also I'm a very cuddly person, so I could definetely hug the whole bunch of you without thinking it would lead to foreplay, lol! Don't be afraid of me!!!
But if someone I not so so very well would ask me out on a coffee, I might think that she's interested in me.
Or if an acquaintance of the opposite sex wanna to go to the movies with me, than that's second base!!! Lol!
Haha actually I think these statements are a bit prejudiced it's not a list of rules of how to live our lifes ;)
I think it's okey if you decide to hug mr Zetterberg Nikki :D |

What about kisses?
Here the normal behaviour is to give people you know a kiss on the cheek when you meet and when you leave. Unless it's a more formal situation, then you shake hands.
I kiss (on the cheek) everyone I know when I arrive somewhere and when I leave.
KISSING?! :O
No, NO, NOO, that's definetely foreplay! ;)
Haha just kidding! We never kiss each other on the cheeks over here, but if someone from another culture would do it, then we'd probably play along, even though we'd feel silly doing it :P |

Hahaha This is soooo cool
Germans actually kiss twice on the cheeks, Swiss ones do it 3 times :)
And as for tonight - a guy - friend - asked me out for dinner - actually it was coffeee -but since we both just have time at about 6ish- that would be a date in Sweden right? or even more?
Geee :)
I love the Swedens must be reaaaaaaaaaaaally easy to get a date there - just go into the next starbucks :D

It's a normal behaviour in Poland as well. |

I'm laughing out loud in my office xD.
Here men and women kiss people on the cheek. Here it's normal to do it once, on one cheek. I even kiss my boss. It's normal.
I met a Colombian girl the other day. She says that argentinian guys always joke with the kiss thing and they always tell her that the normal thing is to kiss them on the mouth... not true! Lol.
But yeah, if I had met any of you on the street before knowing this I would have kissed you on the cheek, lol! Now I know it's not normal and I shouldn't do it :oP

A few years ago I was on one of these cruises from Helsinki, where the ship actually goes to Tallinn, but you're not even allowed to go ashore if you're on a cruise. So there we were, floating at the harbour, waiting for the morning, when they would let those people out who weren't there for just a bit of fun and let some people in for the return trip. It was really grim, my cabin was horrid and small and food was nothing to write home about. But, it was a class reunion, so it was nice to see all those people after so many years and dance to some 80's hits (preformed by a live band).
The whole experience just reinforced my dislike of ferries. |
