Hope I'm not doing a crime posting in English - I can't speak Norwegian (or Swedish for that matter). Although I would like to learn, but I'm more of a hands-on learner, so I would have to talk to someone a Scandinavian who I see as worthwhile.

Not too long ago I had the opportunity to talk to quite a few Scandinavians, but particularly two people stood out, they looked as Scandinavian as it gets. They were the first people I've met in my over 20 years of life to whom I could relate to on some 'deeper' level. Unfortunately I'm not in contact with them anymore (they have families and I'm not in Scandinavia, so they of course prefer 'real' people). Of course it could've been a coincidence, but they were the only people I related to, so I'm sticking with this.

Anyway, I'm here to ask for advice on where I can try to meet more Scandinavians (especially Norwegians). My main focus is a girlfriend because that's the best friendship you can get in my opinion, but of course I would like to meet some others as well. Perhaps they would even eventually help me to meet a girlfriend as well in some way that they might not even notice themselves.

So if you would, where would you recommend me to look for such people online? Oh, and since a lot of people aren't too friendly to middle-eastern foreigners (not surprisingly), I am European and I am as whiter than 'true' Scandinavians.

The 'common' dating and chatting sites don't seem to work well. Probably because the chatting sites are overpopulated by Southeastern Asians and dating sites by Americans (and if I was in Scandinavia, I would probably not have even needed to go on such sites in the first place).

So yea, this is a weird request, so... Yea. Haha.

Hey, and welcome.

You could try out dating-apps, which locates people nearby.
Shouldnt be too hard meeting people through tinder or something atleast.

I'm not from Scandinavia and can't afford to live there now. I actually thought of doing something like this (posting on a forum) because I was being paired with people from this country today on a chatting site. I noticed that when I was elsewhere as well - they give very strong priority for people from where you are connecting from.

But that's not important. Point is, locating people nearby doesn't work unless I'm in Scandinavia...

Some of us aren't too friendly about lowbrow xenophobia on this forum either...

Tinder. Get the paid version (Tinder Plus). This will allow you to search locally anywhere in the world.

And stop telling people on the internet how white you are.

this will be your main problem, you should at least take the tour with some friends or whatever before your future girlfriend comes along.
connecting trough dating apps isnt very deep isit? and no one likes long distance relationships anyway.

how old are you?

He's not reporting violation of rules, but giving advice on how to not seem like an idiot when trying to meet new people. I'd say it's relevant and good advice. Despite the general tone in a lot of online comment sections, I'm sure most Norwegians give zero fucks how white your skin is. In fact, most of us are desperately trying to work up a decent tan these days☺

You should save up for a trip to Norway, maybe go to school here. Get a scholarship. Its a lot easier to meet people through common means

Jeez guys we get it, no need to beat a dead horse here. The moderators keep deleting the posts that bring nothing new to the table.

norvguy: you write that money is an issue, so.
https://www.couchsurfing.com is a pretty good site for backpackers and travelers on a budget. I would highly recommend you to see the world and it is possible for a low cost (that site is free). The site also has a bunch of topics for travelers looking to meet local people. (Although NOT for dating, it will still get you in to the Norwegian culture) me and a few friends have several times hosted through it. People would come sleep on our couch for free, and we'd take them out on the city to see the nightlife.

https://www.moteplassen.com

http://www.c-date.no/
http://nakenprat.com/ (why not?)
(Moderator, if any of these are against the rules, just remove them instead of deleting the whole reply)

Most of these sites are in Norwegian, so I guess google translate is in order.

As I also pointed out Tinder is a very popular dating app in Norway, and by paying for it, (the plus version) it will allow you to easily see local girls from Oslo, Bergen, etc. Tokyo for that matter.

If you really just want to talk to Norwegians, then this forum is pretty nice too, and they meet up in the park or the local bar every once in a while in Oslo.

Good luck.
