Hey everyone, I'm Alex.

Thanks for clicking and welcome to this lesson on dating and relationship phrasal verbs.

So in this video, I'm going to give you 10 phrasal verbs

that you can use when you are discussing dating and relationships.

Now, because this is a phrasal verbs video, I want to encourage you to pick up a copy of my book,

100 Practical English Phrasal Verbs, which has 20 context -based lessons,

over 900 examples, and only high -frequency phrasal verbs.

So if you enjoy this lesson and you think, huh, I want to learn more phrases like that, pick up the book.

It's available in PDF format, ebook format, and this beautiful physical format.

And again, let me let me have you hear that book.

Love that sound.

So the physical version, you have to buy it on Amazon.

Check it out.

Now, let's continue with this video.

So most relationships or many relationships or maybe just encounters with people begin with someone hitting on someone.

What does it mean to hit on someone?

Now, again, the verb hit, it's very physical.

Like this is hit.

We don't mean this.

This is terrible.

This is the opposite of what we're doing.

So when you hit on someone, you show romantic interest in them,

you try to get their attention by complimenting them or by saying something to them,

introducing yourself and showing that you're interested and you want to talk to them more and learn more about them.

So repeat after me.

Yes, you will practice speaking in this video as well.

Repeat after me.

A guy hit on me at the club.

Okay, so if you are a young person, this is probably something you might say.

If you are an older person or a married person, maybe you don't go to the club anymore.

The dance club.

I know some parts of the world call them discos.

I just think of John Travolta when I hear disco doing this stuff.

So, not that type of disco.

So, yeah, a guy hit on me at the club.

This means a guy tried to get my attention.

He asked for my phone number.

Or maybe he said something like, You know, if I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put you and I together.

Terrible.

Don't say that.

Maybe do.

Some people might enjoy it because they like bad jokes.

I don't know.

So yeah, hit on someone.

To show romantic interest, you want someone's attention.

Next, to ask someone out.

If you ask someone out, you ask them to go on a date with you.

So repeat after me.

You should ask her out.

Yeah, so you are encouraging your friend

or someone in your family to ask someone out

because maybe they see

that huh I think there's a connection there I think

you guys have a good connection you should ask her out

and see what she says maybe

she will say yes let's go see a movie let's go

for a walk let's go to a coffee shop yeah classic first date stuff, right?

Next, we have hit it off.

If you hit it off with someone, you have a strong connection,

a good connection, almost immediately the first time you meet them.

Now, hitting it off with someone doesn't have to be romantic.

It can be, maybe you can hit it off with someone and then you become friends because you have a similar interest.

Like if I like board games and this other person likes board games

and we meet and we discuss board games together and we have a great connection and we connect immediately,

I can say, ah, we really hit it off.

Like, we hit it off immediately and we had an instant connection.

Here is the more romantic version of it, perhaps.

It doesn't have to be romantic in this case either, but just repeat after me.

I think you and Jane would really hit it off.

Yeah, that's it.

That's good.

So I think you and Jane would really like connect.

You'd have a strong connection immediately because I know your personality,

I know her personality, and I think your personalities would mix very well together.

Next, we have to fall for someone.

So this means to fall in love with someone, to basically develop the feelings of love for someone.

You can use this in the continuous tense, you can use it in the past, in the present, many tenses actually.

If you are in the process of this, if you think you are developing feelings,

you can say, I think I'm falling in love with him, or I think I am falling for him.

Now, repeat after me this sentence right here.

It sounds like you're falling in love.

Okay.

And I just realized I should have written, it sounds like you're falling for him or for her.

So let's, we'll use them to cover everyone.

So repeat after me one more time.

It sounds like you're falling for them.

Yeah, it's like it sounds like you are developing those feelings that people associate with love.

That warm feeling in your heart where you want to spend time with the person all the time.

and next you know you fall for someone sometimes the relationship doesn't work you have to end the relationship

which means you have to break up or split up

so split like this right you split up with someone

or break up with someone uh so repeat after me they broke up last month

Yeah, you know, I thought that John and Amy, they were going to make it.

They were going to get married.

They were going to show us the power of love.

But no, we don't know what happened to them.

But they broke up last month.

So far, so good, right?

100

Next, we have to make up with someone.

101

Sometimes when you break up with someone, you can also make up with them.

102

So, to make up with someone is to reconcile,

103

which means you have an understanding or you come back together after a negative experience like an argument,

104

a fight, or maybe a breakup even.

105

So, for example, repeat after me.

106

We argued, but we made up.

107

Okay, good.

108

Uh, this makes me think of a Taylor Swift song, so I don't put Taylor Swift in my videos very often,

109

but maybe my daughter will be proud of me, or she will say, Dad, you are so cringe.

110

Uh, and we fight, we make up, we kiss, we break up.

111

I think that those are the lyrics to that song that she has.

112

I don't remember the name of the song, but if you know the name of the song that I'm talking about that Taylor Swift sings,

113

please leave it in the comments where she talks about kissing and making up, fighting and breaking up.

114

Next, to go out with someone.

115

This has two meanings.

116

One, to go on a date, right?

117

To go to a coffee shop or to a movie theater.

118

So we went out last night.

119

Now, this can also mean to be in a relationship with someone.

120

If you are married, you don't say

121

that like you go out with your wife or your husband or you are going out with your husband or your wife.

122

When you are going out with someone, you are dating them, which means you are having experiences together,

123

and maybe your relationship will be long -term.

124

Maybe it won't.

125

You're not sure yet.

126

So repeat after me.

127

Bia is going out with Ryan.

128

Yeah, so this means Bia.

129

Maybe they have been on two dates together.

130

I say, oh yeah, she's going out with Ryan.

131

You know, they are spending time together.

132

Next, we have to cheat.

133

And you can cheat on someone.

134

So if you cheat on someone, this means you kiss someone or you have sex with someone who is outside of your relationship.

135

So for example, repeat after me.

136

Eric cheated on Melissa.

137

Melissa.

138

In this situation, Melissa and Eric are together.

139

They are boyfriend and girlfriend, perhaps husband and wife.

140

And if Eric cheated on Melissa,

141

this means Eric found someone outside of his relationship and either kissed someone else or had sex with someone else.

142

Not a good thing.

143

Next up, we have drift apart.

144

This is also a sad, slow separation from someone.

145

So this one is not only about romantic relationships.

146

You can drift apart in a friendship.

147

You can drift apart with from a family member, for example.

148

So to drift apart is to slowly go in different directions.

149

right

150

so i am becoming a different person you are becoming a different person

151

we don't have the same interests anymore we don't really talk anymore

152

but we just slowly go in opposite directions we drift apart

153

so repeat after me um we'll do this in two sections so repeat the first part

154

We used to be close, but we drifted apart.

155

Yeah, so we used to be close, this means we were close in the past, but then we just drifted apart.

156

When you think of the verb drift, think of a piece of wood on the water

157

and another piece of wood on the water

158

and they're just going slowly in different directions finally we have to settle down now

159

when you settle down you commit to a long -term relationship

160

so repeat after me i've dated enough i'm ready to settle down

161

good so

162

if you are ready to settle down this means i am ready to commit to one person usually

163

when you settle down you pick one place to be your home

164

and basically you stay in

165

that place for a long time you start a family many people start families

166

or you just stay together with your partner and you're not interested in other people anymore, in dating other people.

167

You just want to start a life with someone.

168

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
