Let’s Talk! - Advanced
Clay: When are you going to finally ask Lisa out on a date, Tommy?
Tommy: I’ve been working myself up to it lately. I’m just scared that I’ll
approach her and then draw a blank.
Clay: You’ve just got to chill out about it. You’re a bundle of nerves. You
need to rehearse what you’re going to say to her and learn how to
project an air of confidence about yourself. Women love confident
guys.
Tommy: I know that but it’s much easier said than done. The last time I
tried it, I was blushing like crazy and my palms were sweaty.
Clay: I know what you mean. It’s the same problem I had with Sarah
last year. That girl always gave me butterflies in my stomach.
Tommy: Really? I didn’t know you had a thing for Sarah.
Let’s Talk! Follow up - Advanced
• The conversation uses several phrases (draw a blank, chill out, bundle of
nerves, easier said than done, butterflies in my stomach, had a thing for).
What do you think each of these mean?
• If you were in Clay’s situation, how would you go about asking Alicia out?
Reading Comprehension – Advanced
When you meet someone new and you both seem to like each other, it can seem
maddening when neither of you makes the first move to ask for a date. You may
wonder if the person of your interest is as fascinated in you, or if you’re just
imagining the chemistry you feel. By hesitating, you may even lose the opportunity
to find out if you’re right for each other. So what should you do?
Gauge their interest carefully. Just because you’re head over heals for them doesn’t
mean that they feel the same way. Engage in eye contact and smile to see if they do
the same. If your smile is returned, make basic conversation with them and see if
they do the same.
When it does come time to ask for a date, think about how you want it to sound and
the words that you are going to use. Practice in front of a mirror (when no one else
is around preferably!) Often, we think that something sounds cool in our heads but
when we say it out loud, we cringe at how dumb it sounds.
Reading Discussion – Advanced
• The article advises a person to think carefully about what they are going to say
before asking someone out. Some people may feel that this will end up
sounding mechanical. In your opinion, is it better to rehearse your lines or make
them spontaneous? Why?
• The article provides some helpful tips on how to gauge a person’s interest in
you. What other tips can you think of that might help you accurately assess
another’s interest?
• The first paragraph of the text provides an example situation in which two
people get along well but no one asks the other for a date. If you were in that
situation, how would you go about asking the other person for a date?
Expressions & Phrases - Advanced
Match the idiom to its meaning.
a) To make someone fall in love with you

1) A heavy date
b) To be obsessed with another person
2) Get cold feet
c) A planned meeting between two people
who are very interested in having a
3) Steal (someone's) heart
romantic relationship
4) On the rocks d) To look at someone in a way that

makes it clear that you find him or her
5) Make eyes at (someone) attractive
6) Hung up on (someone) e) To be having relationship difficulties
