This is the most disgusting thing you can do on

In order to have a successful date, the majority, more precisely 69 percent, of Swedes who are actively dating choose to deliberately avoid certain specific topics of conversation on the first date – this is shown by a new survey conducted by Veria on behalf of Match.

News24 has listed the most turn-on, and sometimes forbidden, things you can do on a date according to participants.

The season of love – what is it?

If you are single and looking, it may be worth being extra active in your search during certain seasons.

The dating barometer, as the study is called, shows that Swedes prefer to date in the summer (43 percent), while one in five (21 percent) prefers to date in the spring and one in ten (11 percent) in the fall. Only 1 percent think that the most romantic season is winter – a number that for most people may not be very shocking.
