^typo… To want to seduce a Swedish man and fly there for a fling…

I’m a single Mother, I recently have crossed paths with a Swedish man virtually via work. We’ve never met, just shared our interests. He has a gist of what I look like. I wasn’t expecting to develop steamy thoughts, as we weren’t communicating for that reason. He’s sent a photo or two and everytime I look at it, I think about how much I want to ride a tall Swedish man into the sunset….

Is it completely unrealistic to build a connection and email when what I want is unobtainable & not practically realistic.

Am I being a 13 year old ? I know I need to meet men in real life but I don’t feel inspired by anyone or up to it. Also, this is the first sensitive and sweet man I’ve spoken to in so long.

What is wrong with me ? Why am I so horny over a photograph and a shared interests?

What is unobtainable? Do you think he can do better than you?

Well, I found my tall Swedish Man in the UK but would absolutely recommend. What's the worst that could happen?

Funkyslippers · 05/03/2024 15:43

Well I'd be a bit worried if my 13 year old DD wanted to ride a man into the sunset!

Apply surströmming to your body instead of perfume. Guaranteed to snag the viking.

Oh my goodness, I was not referring to this aspect when I said that. I meant, am I romanticising and being unrealistic. Goodness apologies for the unwitting and horrendous association. I’m sure your 13 year old is beyond precious - I used to be a boarding house mother and they’re children at that age.

I'm a widow but haven’t had any thoughts about seducing a Swedish man. Did I miss the memo?😅

Dogdilemma2000 · 05/03/2024 15:48

kladdkaka is your secret weapon here. Go for it. Do the little frog dance and snag that man.

No, but my husband was complex and traumatic, I have embraced being single a bit too much.

This post made me smile! Throw caution to the wind and see what happens!!

Primrosecottagelover · 05/03/2024 15:53

I suppose I’m just wondering why he’s investing time in someone he doesn’t really know that well, he has a gist of what I look like but not really.

The irony is that I refuse to internet date because I wanted to meet someone organically in the wild.

He looks like a Disney Prince though and sends beautiful messages & literature recommendations & I am taken aback.

The school girl crush has taken me by surprise.

have you been criticised by friends for it?

cauliflowerqueen · 05/03/2024 16:00

International relationships can work, even if you're initially living in different countries, but you're right that it's more complicated, logistically speaking. If you're interested in him, it can't hurt to get to know one another better! If it's the real thing, you'll figure it out, and if it's not, at least you tried.

coldcallerbaiter · 05/03/2024 16:00

Do you look like a Disney princess? Because when someone seems to good to be true, they usually are.

oh that’s easy to do… whilst you’re waiting for the train, standing in a queue etc

i would not worry about time invested

how long ago did this start?

SiobhanSharpe · 05/03/2024 16:02

I think there is a male Swedish mumsnetter who posts on here from time to time - he might have some suggestions...

fruity81 · 05/03/2024 16:02

He’s sent you photos. in what context?

how closely do you work together?

Has he asked for a photo of you?
