Dating in Denmark vs America | Real Talk with an American / Danish Couple
#Denmark #Danmark #CultureShock

In this video, we sit down with an American-Danish couple to learn what it's like dating in Denmark. We discuss all topics around the differences between dating in Denmark vs. America including all of the culture shocks and clashes along the way.

From what it's like meeting people to date in Denmark to managing a relationship along the way - Jen and Niels tell us everything. The good and the bad about dating in a cross-cultural relationship are laid out in this video.

What is it like being on dating apps as a foreigner in Denmark? How do Danes normally meet other Danish people to date? How is it fitting into an American family as a Danish person? What about integrating into a Danish family? Who should pay on a date in Denmark?

We're so glad that we got to sit down and talk openly about the dating challenges for Americans in Denmark. We learned how courting and meeting people is viewed and handled by Danes. We discussed the impact that cultural differences between Americans and Danes have on daily life, integrating with families and joining a deeply establish friend group.

We also look at the results of our Community Poll where we asked you, "What do you think would be the hardest thing for an American dating a Dane?"

The options we gave were:
Learning the Danish language,
Cultural differences between Americans and Danes,
Relating to Danish in-laws and Relatives and
Integrating with a Danish partner's friend group.
Watch the video to see what the community thought was the biggest challenge!

All of these challenges of dating in Denmark are explored in this video thanks to Jen and Niels and their open dialogue!
