To go with these Norwegian flirting sentences, here are some of the tips about dating culture in Norway:
- In Norway, it’s not very common for men to pay for women’s drinks. Gender equality has come a long way here, and some women can even get offended if you treat them differently just because they are females. Likewise, if you are a woman, don’t expect for Norwegian guys to pay for your meal when you go to a restaurant. There are exceptions of course but as a rule of thumb, split your bills.
- “Dating” in its traditional sense, is a sort of new phenomenon in Norway. It’s easier to meet people within your social circle. If you have friends in common, chances are you are going to attend the same house parties, birthdays, etc. That’s where this thing called “Love” happens.
- Independence and equality are the keywords if you want to take your flirting further and turn it into something more serious.
Norwegians, when sober, are not the ones who are known for taking initiatives. You will be surprised to discover that they can be really friendly and welcoming if you dare to take the first step. Especially now when you are equipped with these charming Norwegian phrases, you don’t have any excuse for not flirting. So, gather your courage (or take a shot of tequila), go out there, and conquer those seemingly unbreachable armored Viking hearts.
You forgot “har du snap?”
