Niklas, an actor and golf salesperson, went on a date with Karin on the premiere episode of Love Is Blind: Sweden season 2. Niklas shared that he had a difficult morning due to the pressure of talking to many people. Later, Niklas asked what Karin's expectations were from her future partner.
Karin mentioned that she wanted emotional support, stability, and a sense of calm from her partner. Niklas then opened up about his ADHD, which sometimes made him disorganized.
"You might not always get calm from me. I actually have ADHD. I usually hate bringing it up, because then people tend to put a label on you right away, but that's me, so I might as well bring up these things," revealed Love Is Blind: Sweden star Niklas.
Karin asked further how Niklas' ADHD affected him in relationships. Niklas explained that he was a loving and romantic person but struggled with structure. He ultimately appreciated Karin's willingness to understand and support him. Niklas was touched by Karin's thoughtful questions and her desire to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses.
