Description
A lot of the mail I get at howtoliveindenmark.com get is from men, wanting to know how they can meet women in Denmark.
I can understand this. Danish women are very beautiful. And I can tell you now, most of them will not immediately exclude you because you have a different skin color. I know of several babies of mixed heritage here in Denmark.
That said, dating in Denmark is hard, even for the Danes, and it will probably be hard for you too.
That’s because the process that works in much of the rest of the Western world doesn’t work in Denmark. In most parts of the world, a man will see a woman he likes, and he’ll approach her. He’ll try to start a conversation. Maybe he’ll ask if he can buy her a coffee, or some other type of drink. If they’re in a nightclub, he might ask her if she’d like to dance, or maybe go outside and get some fresh air.
These tactics will get you nowhere in Denmark.
