• 4 DATING - my American friend

M - In this episode we're going to talk about DATING !

C -We've chosen a spicy topic this time, haven't we?

M – Well, you know, I was wondering : what do you study a foreign language for?

C - To improve your career maybe, for doing business abroad, but also we study foreign languages in order to travel around the world and meet new and exciting people.

M – Exactly, new people you get to know and you may feel like dating. New people you may even start a relationship with. By the way, does that sound familiar to you?

C – Yeah, it does, my husband is Italian, but he could speak English well enough to ASK ME OUT ON A DATE !

M – Actually GOING ON A DATE with someone who speaks a different language is not that easy, so, listeners we are going to help you!

C - Today we're going to use a lot of words and expressions about dating, make sure to read the transcript of this episode by downloading it on your iPod or by visiting our page on podomatic.com that's spelled p o d o m a t i c : the transcription includes the list of all the specific words and idioms about dating with relevant explanations.

M – All right. Cindy, let's say that I am to date an American guy, like, I don't know, Jon Bon Jovi.

C – oh, You picked a good one!

M – Well, it could happen sooner or later! And we may need to listen to some New Jersey accent, so Jon, we'd be glad to have you here!

C – Yes, Jon Bon Jovi, If you feel like being our guest on any future episodes, you're more than welcome!

M – Oh, Cindy, I think we'd better explain this one to our listeners. To feel like doing something.

C – It's a very common expression. It means : to be in the mood for doing something. An example of a conversation could be : What do you feel like doing tonight? I'm tired, I don't feel like going out. I feel like watching a DVD on the sofa.

M - and do you remember that song : “don't feel like dancing, dancing...”

C – yeah, that's it.

M – All right, now let's go back to dating. Jon is waiting for me.

C – Shall we start from “pick-up lines” ? You know, those sentences you say in order to “break the ice” and start a conversation with someone.

M – All right. Shoot !

C – Ok, let me give you a few examples of common ice-breakers. You can use :
I think I've seen you before... do you come here often? haven't we met before? would you like to dance / take a walk / have a drink ? do you have a lighter/cigarette? could you tell me what time it is? I really like your....whatever

M – and if the ice-breaker is successful...

C - ...and you HIT IT OFF , meaning you're compatible and you GET ALONG WELL ...

M - then someone will make the first move!

C - and ask the other out on a date. The ideal dating situation is when you know who you're going out with, but this is not always the case in a BLIND DATE.

M - what's a blind date?

C – the dreaded blind date! This is a source of great pain or pleasure! A blind date is when a friend arranges the date for you with someone they feel is a good match for you. That is to SET SOMEONE UP on a blind date. But don't worry if it's not love at first sight and you have nothing in common with the person you have been set up with, make a polite excuse, GO DUTCH and go home in separate cars.

M – oh, and going Dutch means....

C – each person pays for their own meal.

M – But there are other ways to meet new people nowadays.

C – Yes, many people meet on-line in chat rooms. Or through dating services and speed dating, personal ads in the newspapers. Whatever method you choose just take your time, be careful, really do your best to know who you're going out with.

M – and also be sure that you both have the same intentions, that you're looking for the same level of commitment in the relationship.

C – or someone
