Have you got a boyfriend?
Don't worry, I'm not asking you out, I'm just checking.
Have you got a boyfriend or a girlfriend?
Because a lot of times when people talk
about dates and relationships and they're available, they
basically lose on a lot of important vocabulary.
And this is what today's lesson is about. Hi everyone.
My name is Radhan and I welcome you
to let's talk with a humongous heart.
In today's lesson, we'll talk about common phrases
for dates and relationships that you can make
use of in your daily life.
Let's get started.
The first phrase on the list is in your dreams.
It means a very unrealistic hope.
In your dreams is used as an exclamation.
Somebody said a sentence in
return to that rhetorically.
You say in your dreams, which means
it's not going to come true.
Next one is play hard to get.
It means to pretend to be uninterested when there's
somebody who you like, but that person tries to
show that they are not interested in you.
That means they're playing hard to get.
And finally no way.
It means definitely not.
Let's look at certain examples.
If the person says Sam, I think she likes me.
But then Dan says in your dreams
that means it is not true.
Then Sam says no. Really?
I'm sure she does.
Dan, no way.
She never looks at you.
And then Sam says again she's just playing hard to get.
She's just trying to be somebody
who's showing that she's not interested.
But it is not true.
So this was the first list.
Let us now look at the next one.
Going steady.
It means to be in a regular relationship.
When it's been a long time that you've
been with the person for years and years.
You say you're going steady with the person.
She is history or he is a history.
The apostrophe here and then s here shows not she has
history or he has it is she is or he is.
It means the past is not important now.
That means they were in their lives in the past,
but now it's not important and finally get a life.
It is used as an explanation and it
means do something interesting with your life.
Just to let you know, this phrase is
a little bit casual and not very polite.
Let's see how we can use all
these three in a set of examples.
On your right hand side, Sam says,
have you heard about Jan's boyfriend?
Then Dan says, oh, she's going
steady with him for six months.
That means in a regular relationship.
Sam says, no, he's history.
He's past, he's not important.
Now she's got a new one.
She's found a new boyfriend.
Dan, stop this gossip.
Get a life.
Do something interesting with your life.
Stop talking about somebody else's life.
These are the six phrases so far.
Let's move on to the next one.
Drop dead gorgeous.
If you think somebody is amazing and
is just super charming, super beautiful.
You say that person is
drop dead gorgeous, very attractive.
Have a think about it.
Means to like something very much.
If you say I would think about strawberry cakes.
That means you like them so much and pop the question.
Very interesting one.
People generally ask this right before getting married.
Married?
And what is that question?
Will you marry me? Yeah.
When somebody asks Will you marry me?
That is called popping the question.
Let's look at some examples.
Now, my girlfriend is drop
dead gorgeous, kind and sensitive.
She's just so beautiful.
I have a thing about tall girls, but she isn't tall.
Oh, that's a shame. She's not tall.
But this person seems to have
a thing about tall people.
So it says the problem is that she wants
to get married and may pop the question soon.
What should I do now?
She may ask soon will you marry me?
Now, a lot of people may as
well think do girls also say so? Well, why not?
We live in a gender neutral world.
It's absolutely possible.
So drop that gorgeous I have a
thing about and pop the question.
Let's move to the next one.
Sweep someone off their feet.
When imagine you're on a carpet and you
sweep it off your feet, what happens?
You're like correct.
You tend to tend to fall.
Sweep someone off their feet means
make someone fall in love quickly.
That means you fall in love
with the person very quickly.
Only have iceforth.
Means to only be interested in
something in one person, et cetera.
Examples are when I saw him,
it was love at first sight.
I loved him just the moment I saw him.
I was swept off my feet with
this cute look and adorable smile.
He was so cute and he was so
adorable that I was swept off my feet.
What is swept here?
It is the past of sweep.
Swept off my feet.
They were married within days and only had eyes
for each other for the rest of their lives.
It was a happily ever after.
Only had eyes for each other means they were only
interested in each other for the rest of their lives.
Let's move to the next list.
The next one is pick up the tab.
Pick up the tab means pay the total.
You're at a restaurant, the bill comes.
So one person that pays the total in that situation we say
he picked up the tab or she picked up the tab.
Gotch means just the opposite of it.
Every party involved pays equal costs, share the cost
of the meal or entertainment and finally play I
baya, which means to go with the flow.
Do not decide beforehand to go with the flow.
As the situation develops, let's make use
of them in the form of examples.
Here we go.
In the old day, the man would pick up the tab.
The man would pay the entire bill.
But now the dates prefer to go Dutch.
Whosoever is involved in dating people
prefer to pay equal amount.
Be the boy and the girl.
The girl and the girl or the boy and the boy.
To avoid any awkward moments, it
is suggested to play by her.
If you don't want to encounter or face
any awkward moments, you just see how the
situation develops and you pay accordingly.
So this was all about phrases that you can use
the next time when you talk about dates and relationships.
