I love relationships and I love phrasal verbs! In fact I wish I could have a relationship with
a phrasal verb but I can't because that's impossible. Trust me... I've tried. So instead
let us learn about some phrasal verbs that we can use to talk about relationships because
that is the next best thing! Wow, Toby! That sounds great! I love you! Let's go!
Hey there and welcome to Monica Knows. The show where I give you
relationship advice because this girl has experience, if you know what I mean!
Let us start with some viewer questions and the first one is from Jack. Jack says "At college I
really like one of the girls on my course". Oh my god, Jack! That is so cute! "I finally built
up the courage to hit on her and we really hit it off". Right, can I just say that violence
against women is always wrong! Jack what is wrong with you? You can't just hit a woman, you sicko!
No, no, stop. If you hit on someone it means you approach them with a romantic intention.
For example: you're at a bar and you see a girl. You walk up to the girl and you say "Hey baby,
did you watch SMASH English last night?" and she'll say "Yes I did! I think I love you.
Let's go home together.". Yeah that's how dating works. If you hit it off with someone it means
you get on well with them immediately. The first conversation you have with them
is easy and interesting you have lots in common. You make each other laugh.
Fantastic. Oh I wish I could find a girl that I hit it off with but...
yeah... I just have Monica. Oh okay, um, sorry, Jack. Um let's continue
"anyway we have been dating for a while now and I think I am falling for her". Oh my god,
Jack that's amazing! "but part of me thinks she doesn't feel the same and is just leading me on.
How can I know that she feels the same way about me?". If you fall for someone it means you fall
in love with them. For example girls often come up to me and they say "Toby I've just seen SMASH
English and I think I'm falling for you!". Toby, come on... That's never happened, has it? Shut up,
Bruce. Go away. I'm filming a video. If you lead someone on it means you make them think that you
are interested in them romantically when in fact you're not. And that's a terrible thing to do. Oh
hello, Monica. Hi, um, I really like you and would it be possible to go on a date together
one day? Oh yeah sure. You're so cute. See you later yeah? Oh okay bye! I love you. Oh
my god he is like so gross. Yeah, um, there's an example. Oh wow, Jack well I'm so sorry to hear
that you have that problem but don't worry because Monica Knows the perfect solution:
propose to her. Yeah that's right! Ask her to marry you. Like tell her it's time to settle down
if she says "yeah" then you win and if she says "no" then, like, I guess it just wasn't meant
to be, you know. Monica he's 18! What are you doing!? If you settle down you form a long-term
relationship. You stop dating other people. Maybe you build a family, you buy a house together,
you buy a pet snail, you watch tv together every single evening for the rest of your lives.
Beautiful. Next we have Duke on the phone with a problem that only Monica Knows the solution to so
hey Duke and how can we help? Oh hi, Monica! Yes well my problem is I want to make out with a girl,
yeah, but I don't know how to do it! Oh my god, Duke well girls love confident guys so
my advice is just go for it. If you make out with someone it means you kiss them passionately. This
is very informal and very American. Hi Monica! Oh hi, Duke! Oh my god! What are you doing?! That is
so gross! Ew! I was just trying to be confident! Yeah... predictable. Okay and now for our last
email and this is from an anonymous girl in need of help. "I used to date this guy called Johnny"
Sorry, excuse me. "It was a relationship of passion. We used to fall out and make up all the
time". If you fall out with someone it means you have an argument and you start disliking them. If
you make up with someone it means you resolve the argument and you start liking them again. Great.
"But eventually the passion died. At least I think his passion died for me. We drifted apart.".
If you drift apart from someone then it means that you slowly lose your sense of intimacy. You slowly
lose your connection with this person. This is not because of an argument. This could be because
of time or maybe distance or maybe interests change. We don't only use
drift apart for romantic relationships it can also be for friendships. Also,
if you don't want to say drift apart you can say "grow apart" and it means exactly the same thing.
"I got suspicious. I thought that maybe he was cheating on me so I checked his phone
whenever I could and then he found out and he split up with me!" and oh my god, Johnny! I'm so
sorry! I didn't mean it oh my god! If you cheat on someone it means you are unfaithful to them.
You are having a relationship with someone else that your partner does not know about. Oh that's
a terrible thing to do! Don't do it! Jeez! And if you split up with someone you end the relationship
with them. You can also use the phrasal verb "to break up" to express the same idea.
I can't go on with the show cut the camera for goodness sake a girl is in crisis here! Yep,
Toby this always happens! Why have you got her talking about relationships again!? And with that
we are finished! Those were some fantastic phrasal verbs about relationships and I hope
it was useful for you! If you liked the video don't forget to SMASH that like button, subscribe
