Here, Kalle Norwald believes that it is important to be kind to the participants and thus try to interpret their behavior with understanding. However, he admits that over the years there have been several matches that failed.
– There is some misunderstanding that people think that a match is a guarantee of lifelong love, says Kalle Norwald and continues:
