Publisher's Summary

Do you gravitate towards statuesque and stunningly blonde Malin Åkerman doppelgangers in the hopes of experiencing what it’s like to date a sexy Scandinavian?

Are you new to Scandinavia, but find yourself lonely and unable to connect with the locals, much less figure out their rules of romance?

Are you flirting with a Scandinavian—or trying to—but the cultural fine print and dating distinctions make your head spin?

If any of these sound like you or someone you know, enough is enough! Just…stop. You need to buy Sex Before Coffee: A Guide to Dating in Scandinavia.

Marina Iakovleva, author of Sex Before Coffee: A Guide to Dating in Scandinavia and creator of the popular YouTube channel Dating Beyond Borders, provides her own field-tested guidance, as well as insights from a roster of international interviewees, to walk you through the different stages of dating and romance in Scandinavia.

Using humour and a conversational lightheartedness, this eye-opening book sheds light on:

  • what it takes to navigate a boozy Nordic night out
  • surviving the region’s infamous hook-up culture
  • how not to blow a first date with a Scandinavian (if you get one!)
  • what a foreigner must do to find and keep the love of someone who values independence above all
  • and everything in between.

But that’s not all. In Sex Before Coffee: A Guide to Dating in Scandinavia you will also discover:

  • why bare bums and bumping uglies are trivial — not taboo
  • pick-up lines to avoid using on women
  • impressive dating destinations and ideas
  • advantages of the "Norwegian Arm"
  • benefits of blending in and toning down
  • handling the “C” word — Scandi-style
  • being in LGBTQ+ love in Scandinavia
  • meeting the parents
  • making mini-Scandis
  • and so much more!

Click the "Buy Now" button to find Scandi-lust, Scandi-love and everything in between!
