Stockholm online dating

Meet someone though Stockholm online dating

There are lots of ways to meet people in Stockholm! If you’re single in Stockholm, you should figure out what you want. Do you want to stay single and have some fun? Are you tired of the dating scene and are looking for something longer term? Are you ready to find someone to settle down with and have a family?

Whatever type of relationship you want to start in Stockholm, you many have to try some new approaches and put yourself in places or situations where its easy to meet people. If you are an introvert, you may find you need to push the limit of your comfort zone in trying to meet people. 

You can meet potential partners in the traditional way, through friends setting you up or by going out more often. If you decide to take part more social activities or sports clubs, this can go a long way toward meeting interesting, potential partners with shared interests!  Alternatively, you could consider using internet dating, where online dating websites can screen available people for those who share your attitudes and ideas. The best idea to maximize your chances is to both increase your socialization and to sign on to a few internet dating websites!

Stockholm is a great place for singles to meet people for lots of reasons:

    Finding love in Stockholm is easy if you know where to look!

    Stockholm is big, so there will always something cool to do somewhere. You won’t always see the same people repeatedly if you vary your location. Head out to a variety of different places to maximize your chances of meeting new people. If you do meet someone interesting, but don’t get their contact info or an introduction, try going back to the same place a few times. People can be territorial, and have a tendency to go to their favorite places over and over. If you spend enough time where you first met a person, it’s likely you’ll run into them there again. 

  2. There are always new, interesting people moving to Stockholm for work, school or for their holidays, so you’ll have a regular stream of potential new dating options.
  3. If you’re not Swedish, you’ll have the advantage of the ‘outsider effect’, where the customs from your home country, your accent and background will be different  than the locals. This immediately gives you something interesting to talk about when you meet someone new, and provides you with an appealing, exotic quality that people are attracted to.

How to meet someone in Stockholm, Sweden: The old-fashioned way

Regardless of your interest are, what job you do or where you live in Stockholm, there are loads of restaurants, bars and dance clubs, where you could try to meet someone. There are a few things you can do to increase your chances of meeting someone in Stockholm:

  • No matter what you look like or how old you are, make the most of your best assets and always try look your best. Try to emphasize your best parts and draw attention away from your weak spots.
  • Ensure your personal hygiene is good. Shower daily and when using a body fragrance, make sure you don’t use too much! Too much perfume will leave a cloud in your wake, and is just as bad as having awful body odor.
  • Be confident, friendly and outgoing
  • Show them you are full of passion and life! Even if you’re talking about ‘boring’ stuff (job,  family, what you had for lunch, etc.), be excited and enthusiastic about it.
  • Visit places and engage in activities that involve human interaction. For example, you’re more likely to meet people at a party or a dance/cooking class than you would if you went to the movies.
  • Try to show off the things you’re good at. If you’re an excellent singer, join a choir or head to karaoke or open mic night! If you’re a good actor, or could build or paint sets, join a theater group. 
  • If you’re working in Stockholm, consider going out with colleagues in your workplace, not to try and date them, but to meet their friends. Be cautious here! Its not usually a good idea to have an intimate relationship with someone you’ll have to see on a daily basis. If things end badly, this will make your job somewhat uncomfortable!

Meeting Someone in Stockholm, Sweden: Online Dating

Online dating in Stockholm, Sweden is easy, and generally free to sign up for.

Our lives become busier and more frantic on a daily basis.  It’s hard to meet potential romantic partners, and harder still to find available ones with similar interests. These problems can be solved using online dating. Internet dating makes a lot of sense in our crazy world, and is so commonplace that its expected that singles put themselves online. You know at least one couple who met each other online (although they may not have told you that’s how they met).

Online dating has gone from the fringe to absolutely normal and acceptable. Still uncomfortable with it? Think of it like online shopping…it costs nothing  to sign up and shop for a compatible and attractive partners!! You don’t have to go any further if you don’t want to, but it makes sense to at least have a look!

When your creating an online dating profile in Stockholm, it’s really important to be honest! If you’re not honest then anyone you meet using that profile will feel deceived… There are a some things you need to keep in mind when you are internet dating in Stockholm:

  • Use an accurate (but attractive), recent photograph of yourself in your online dating profile. You want people looking at your profile to have a realistic idea of what you look like! 
  • The people  who are most successful in the internet dating game are the ones that keep their profiles concise and who try to make a strong in a small amount of text. Don’t write your life story, a little mystery will peak the interest of people looking at your profile. 
  • When you create a profile its like an advertisement for yourself. Don’t false advertise yourself as something you’re not! Its fine to focus on your strengths, and avoid your weaknesses, but don’t lie about your interests, skills or other information. 
  • Don’t be afraid to create a profile in English! The vast majority of Swedes under 50 years old speak English, usually at a very high level. An English profile will also make you more attractive, highlighting you as foreign and different. It will also keep away and time-wasters who are only looking for fellow Swedes as potential partners.

If you decide to look further into online dating, I think that Match.com is one of  best online dating sites in Stockholm, Sweden. The website has lots of members and sign-up is free; its a good way to get an idea of who and what is out there. The site is in Swedish, but translates really well in most browsers (try right click; then select translate to English).

I think its best to play your odds when online dating, and it makes a lot of sense to try multiple sites. eDarling is another great site operating in Sweden, where you can find potential matches. Again, the site is in Swedish, but tranlsates very well through your internet browser.  

Are you a bit posh, well-educated and looking for similar, bright partners for a long-term relationship? Then you should try ElitSingular. Many women use ElitSingular to make sure they are meeting dynamic men, who are intelligent and have good careers. Similarly, men using ElitSingular are looking for women who are bright and career-oriented. This site is perfect for those of you who just don’t have time or energy for the dating game after a demanding day at work.
