**Anniz** , please accept my formal proposal of marriage. I will be the man of your dreams. You can help me learn Swedish and I will help you with your English so certain southern gentlewomen don’t tease you about errors in your spelling.

I am a “he” just for clarification…

As to whether or whether or not I am human… well… ummmm… pass.

\<heavy sigh\>

Isn’t Anniz’s Swedish accent just **dreamy?** It’s so sad to think that she’ll lose it as she gets more practice with English.

You’re right **fredicus** ,  
London is not so far away,  
1 hour with an air-plain.  
I love London, been there,  
but it was some years ago…so… who knows…😉

**iampunha** , sorry, I can’t pick one,  
but you’re on my list,  
you know I think you look good.🙂

**Anthracite** , Thanks for your advice,  
they where the best, you’re right,  
to rush is never good,  
but I really miss someone to be close to.  
I whant him now…I don’t whant to waite  
one second more…  
I have never been attractive to a girl,  
but after reading your story…  
As I said before it was good,  
Falcon is lucky to have you as a friend.🙂  
You seem like a nice person.

**Myrr21** , no one has ever fight over me,  
I don’t know if I should be flatter or…

**handy** , my homepage is under construction,  
I’m hoping for help from a friend,  
because I can’t do it by myself.  
It was my friend who put the picture there.  
I wish I could htlm and so.  
Well, it’s never to late to learn.

**Wanderer** , wow, my first proposal over the net,  
cool, but I have to say, thanks, but no thanks.  
Don’t know you…yet.😉

**ssskuggiii** , you ate him…  
grrrrrrrr, can you tell me at least who it was???

**dropzone** , my Swedish accent is dreamy,  
thanks, you put me in a dilemma now,  
because I’ll probably start to studying it soon.

Anniz: How many men do you want, and how rich do they have to be? How about a [Dot.com](http://Dot.com) Millionaire? Ok, it is very easy. First, you turn your hair blonde (yes, you look lovely as a brunette, but trust me on this, you’re Swedish, you’re a babe, ya gotta be Blonde). Next you get some sort of Visa, a student one will do. Then, you move to San Jose, California, USA. Yes, move to the US. Why? because out there, you’re just another cute chick. Out here, you are an exotic foriegn chick, plus you would be a blonde swedish bombshell (Blonde swedish bombshells are a legend out here. Every man wants one). Your accent would be a major plus, really. You would be snapped up in a minute by some hacker with a million bucks in stock options, and cheap glasses. I am not joking.

You have a picture of a wolf, but I can’t figure out what, if anything it says about them. (I can read german, mostly, and thus I can sorta struggle thru Swedish, and get part of it). As you can see by my name, I kinda like them too. By the way, the guys here (including me) are outrageous flirts, but they really are not serious (mainly). So just flirt back, it should be OK.

Anniz-

You find them when you least expect it. Trust me.

You may not think so now, but it will happen.

In the meantime, don’t worry about it. Spend your time making yourself the best you can be. This is about you, not anyone else, so focus on you. People are attracted to people with inner peace and confidence.

When it happens, and it will, it will feel better than anything you’ve ever experienced so far.

You sound like someone who deserves the best, don’t settle for anything less.

SSSKUGGIII! Last night was wonderful, but I told you it’s none of the board’s business what we do! :mad:

And you’re not sorry at all, judging from last night’s performance.

Oh, you didn’t say “ate him **OUT** ”.

Never mind.

How many do I want…  
Well, I think 1 is enough for me.  
And about money,  
well, it’s nice to have them,  
but I can live just on LOVE.  
I always wanted to go to US  
and hopefully I will next year.  
Now you made me more druwn to go…😉

**Daniel** , by the look of the picture in the picture pages our dear, little Swedish newbie is a redhead, not a brunette. And appears to be fully qualified for the [Busty Redhead Thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=23988). That thread needs reviving, anyway!

Byz, didn’t you hear, I’m not living in Cleveland anymore? I’m out in Montana at school.

Seriously, though, Anniz, I’d go with what Anthracite says, about just going to activities that you enjoy anyway. That way, you’re more likely to meet someone with similar interests. At least, that’s the way everyone’s been telling me it works… Dammit, we need more female physics nerds!

You’re right, I’m more redhead then brunette,  
but I don’t qualify on busty,  
mine are small.  
And **Johnny L.A.** , I wish you could take for a fly in a helicopter.  
That would be so fun.🙂

Damnit! Here I’ve spent 10 years polishing off any remains of what used to be a Swedish accent, and now you tell me it’s _dreamy_? So much for being a perfectionist.

I met a swedish girl at a hot tub place once. She thought I was swedish from my accent & wanted to come in my hot tub room but I said no. I have an interesting accent, people think that Im french, swedish or spanish.

Anniz, can’t tell from the picture but do you have legs?
