Question about Danish
How do you say this in Danish? Relax. You're not my boyfriend. You don't owe me time, explanations, or apologies. However, that didn't stop me from judging you. Or giving you the side-eye. Because manners!! :)

I want to convey this to a Dane friend of the opposite gender without unintentionally causing any offence :)

If you don’t want him to get offended I would write it like this:
Slap af!😂 Du er ikke min kæreste så du skylder mig ikke nogen undskyldning, forklaring eller din tid. Det stopped mig dog ikke fra at dømme dig eller se skævt på dig😂 For husk lige dine manérer!
I usually add a laughing emoji after saying something offensive to make sure that the other know that I’m just messing with them.

Slap af. Du er ikke min kæreste. Du skylder mig ikke din tid, forklaringer eller undskyldninger. Men det stoppede mig ikke fra at dømme dig. Eller give dig the side-eye (Idk How to translate that nor the manners part bc it doesn’t translate into Danish and Idk the context)

@CarolineMathil5 Oops.
We're good buddies & he has a girl friend. He hadn't responded to an email for over a month & then got back with profuse apologies for the delay. I wanted to say it's okay, he doesn't owe me a response, but I was puzzled by the silence all this while & was mentally giving him the side-eye.
I thought he'd get a laugh out of it if I said it in Danish but I guess not..?

@CarolineMathil5 Ti tusind tak! Yes, emojis to the rescue! I'm so happy that I get to test the famed Danish sardonic humour after all 😊
