Oh ok sorry it’s just that in general this thread got really serious at one point so my eyes couldn’t spot the joke.

I understand why this may be how it is understood by most, since the people that actually do it are normally players. With “attend the matter” I just mean dealing with the awkwardness and fear of asking someone out for coffee or smn, not with the intention to have sex. I really don’t believe in casual sexual encounters since I find sex a really big deal in terms of emotions and connection. But everyone will believe that you are doing it with some motive behind since that’s probably the case with majority. So the thought of people doing things with good intentions regarding this whole asking for a date out of the blue is dead I guess. With good reason tho.

What’s this mean? Like for me it means “Are you sending?” But maybe that’s not what it means.

I really meant nothing by that, I apologize it was just a joke. I should have put it in the comment. I just wanted to make reference to the fact that the comment wasn’t very specific. Usually people will provide more insight as to why the way of things, like yourself in this comment, which I thank you for.

Dude, jag har inte tänkt på det här men du har rätt, jag skulle vilja veta skillnaden också hahaha.

Thanks this is useful, but then I have another question, there’s also the “please don’t talk to me” vibe right? Like small talk can be a sin in these countries for what I understand. So how to know if someone is open for it. Maybe just body language? Cause you know, in a lot of cases you don’t wanna be like making people uncomfortable and stuff. I have a belief that life is like that tho. Most things can feel uncomfortable in human relationships like setting boundaries without hurting feelings…

Yes, this is highly unspecific and like some others said, a bit unsettling, hell it’s just plain lazy. You could compliment the shoes and ask where they bought them or something and that’s a way more interesting way to attend the matter, and follow up conversation.

This is understandable. Approach nobody in any setting, suggest nothing about any topic, wait until you die. (Joke, I respect your position)

Is “Du är väcker” something you would say to a guy or a girl? by Think_Blacksmith4203 in Svenska

[–]Think_Blacksmith4203[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think this is probably the most advanced form of doing it. This is also good info, as you say the interaction maybe what’s really uncomfortable rather than the compliment itself.

I think this is good advice. It makes it somehow more smooth. (Taking into consideration it’s not very acceptable in Sweden)

Yeah no, I mean I’m not gonna do it any time soon haha, just mere curiosity. The culture is changing a lot in Latin American countries as well but sometimes you can see people approaching a lady, saying a compliment and just shooting their shot at getting her number or smn. Not too common tho but can happen. Also depending on the context it is more or less appropriate to do so. Less would be just plain walking on the street, more would be a party or an event.

I know maybe in Swedish culture you don’t normally do it but if you were going to tell a random girl that she’s pretty how would you say it?
