Small Town experience 2

• Turns out that almost everyone at the party were divorced or separated. I don't think I've experienced this type of singleton-galore-feeling for at least 10 years. I was actually wondering why all guys were so interested in speaking to me and asked heaps of questions. I thought that everyone in small-towns were hitched so I just concluded that people were unusually talkative. I didn't realise until about the time I left that they were all single and were probably doing their research about me. Scary in a way.
• Cyber-stalking (that is -- hammering the keyboard to google juicy details about people, guys, you've met) is waste of time. If you meet someone hot in Borlänge it's enough to let it slip at the breakfast table at mum and dad's -- and you will get their relationship-CV rolled up. Like it or not. The hot guy I met turns out to be a famous guy in the area and I got to know all about not only him, but his ex-wife AND her mum and dad, and his children and whoever he had been dating since he was 15. Sexy.
• Open arms everywhere. Small towns in Sweden, and everywhere else, are struggling with urbanism and that everyone is leaving towns. So when I briefly dropped that I may be interested in moving back home "in a few years' time", there was a wave of cheering -- "I can fix you a good job", "I know exactly where you should buy a house", "There are heaps of single hot men dying to meet you" etc. Nice in a way.
