Is it normal to say puss and send hearts to friends of the opposite sex in sweden?
I am from America and my boyfriend is from Sweden. (We met while he was a foreign exchange student here). He has recently moved back, and I found conversations between him and his 'best girl friend' from throughout his time here that all have "puss" (kiss) and hearts on the end of every message. They also talk about how much they miss each other. In America, I do not consider that to just be normal friendship conversation. Is this just a culture difference?

I would definitely call it a cultural difference - 'puss' is like a peck, not a proper kiss. I wouldn't raise my eyebrows over the hearts either. I know my daughter (she's 24) would write similar things to her best male friends, even if they aren't proper dating boyfriends. I wouldn't fret over that. However, if you haven't discussed the future of your relationship, now is the time to do it! Are you expecting to maintain a long-distance relationship? In my experience, they rarely work, and the man is usually the first to let go. I'm sorry to say this, but I'd expect him to eventually find someone new in Sweden. Sorry to be so pessimistic.
