alright let's get started so there's a lot of dating and tv shows so we'll start out looking at
this word in its most basic sense so you probably already know the word date in its noun form
and that of course is an occasion in which two people who are romantically interested in each
other share a moment however I found that very few learners actually use this word in its verb form
and a date of course can also be a person that you are dating
now there's also a couple phrases that we use with the word date and that is to go on a date
or go out on a date or to ask someone out on a date let's look at some examples with each
So we can also shorten this phrase to go out on a date to just to go out
and somewhere to say that you are dating someone you could just say you are seeing someone
now let's learn some words that
can be used to describe someone who is involved in dating activity so based on the context in
this example can you imagine what it means to be forward
So as you can see in that clip this woman was direct in her intentions so basically in this context what it means is that
you are not shy about letting someone know that you are interested in them the next word we'll
look at is one that can be used in many different ways to flirt flirtatious flirtation or flirting
Now let's continue with that clip from two and a half men which offers some
really great and relevant phrasal verbs
if you hit on someone you act in a way that lets you know you're interested in that person
And to turn someone down means to reject someone
so if someone asks you on a date and you turn them down you're saying no
so we're just getting
started really we have a lot more vocabulary and expressions for dating for you but as you can
already see you can really just learn a ton of vocabulary and expressions in a really fun way
with your favorite tv series and this is because they tend to be about people's everyday lives
so undoubtedly you'll find things that relate to your own life and this is exactly why we created
our fluent with friends course various academic studies have shown that friends is the best tv
series out there for learning english and this is because of the language and situations that
we encounter in it and of course you won't just learn vocabulary for dating you'll learn really
great expressions for friendly conversations for at work and really just for your everyday life

really great phrasal verbs for dating so now something single men might do is go to a bar or
club and try to pick up women if you watch how I met your mother you know barney stinson is famous for this.
and while we're on the subject of phrasal verbs probably the
worst thing that could happen to you if you're on a date is getting stood up by someone
if you get stood up it means that the other person didn't show up or didn't appear
to the date all right so now let's learn some expressions and idioms that are related to dating
the first one that we'll look at is if someone is out of your league
now this means
that you believe that that other person is far too beautiful or too much of a higher
social status to possibly want to go out on a date with you
next is a very informal way to refer to a person's
ability to seduce someone else pay attention in this clip to the highlighted expression
so we would generally say this of a man if a man has game basically he's good at dating but in the
clip we actually saw the collocation lay game now laying game would basically mean to seduce someone
however this is not as common of a collocation
now we also might say that a man who has game is a stud or a player
the next expression is a bit of a funny one
so we also saw this expression in our lesson with katy perry
let's take a look at what it means
and by the way if you want to check out that
