Turns out he has a girlfriend. Albeit one that lives in Sweden, and has been out of the counry for 6 months, but a girlfriend all the same. He didn't volunteer this information freely, oh no.
It was only revealed that he had a girlfriend following a chance question from me on an entirely unrelated topic. I had been invited up to the flat again, and we were chatting away, then we got on to the topic of football, what with the Wolrd Cup being on, and he said something about how he was disappointed with Sweden's performance. So I jokingly said, 'Why, do you have some connection to Sweden?' and then he said 'Yeah, my girlfriend's from Sweden.' Imagine the difficulty I had in maintaining a neutral facial expression as I heard this news. He then told me that she has been in Sweden for the past 6 months, I said that was a long time (for want of anything else to say) and then he looked straight at me and said that sometimes 'it gets lonely'. Sheesh.
Next stop: internet dating?
