1
But is it appropriate for someone who...
2
No. Yeah.
3
No, no, no, no, no. There's very little about what was just said that's appropriate.
4
So for this week, I thought I'd do something a little different.
5
I have a club called the Love Life Club, and every month I answer questions of my members.
6
This one caught my attention as something that would be fun to bring to all of you here.
7
It was someone who asked, How do you know the difference between someone who is love bombing you and someone who has real intentions?
8
This was my answer.

10
Can we do one final question?
11
Please.
12
Yeah.
13
From someone called Tamila.
14
How do I differentiate between love bombing and genuine attention?
15
I met a man online.
16
In brackets, I'm traveling out of country.
17
He was pursuing me and is waiting to meet when I'm back in the US.
18
We're in different states and he's organizing a day in his city, San Diego, in a month.
19
In his text, there's a lot of us talk.
20
Talk of living together, how many kids I'd want, asking me for my preferences on houses, calling me wifey, etc. Help.
21
How do I differentiate between love bombing and genuine intention?
22
How long has she been speaking to this man?
23
She met him online.
24
But how long ago?
25
It doesn't say But is it appropriate for someone who know?
26
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no There's very little about what was just said that's appropriate
27
It's you know it that's has love bombing written all Over it.
28
How do you not get swept up?
29
Because it's a lovely thing to hear, right?
30
You meet someone you find attractive, whatever, and they're saying all the right things, and they're saying all these, like, how do you stop yourself from getting carried away in those kinds of words?
31
Here's what you hear in your head.
32
You hear, imagine someone just rang your phone, like it was an unknown number, and you picked it up and it was a automated message
33
and it said you have been selected from a random pool
34
of people to collect two million dollars all you need to
35
do to collect your winnings is to speak now with your bank account details so that we can deposit the funds
36
that's what you imagine being said because if
37
that happened we'd all be like hang up this doesn't make
38
any sense why you're giving me two million dollars right now I've never been that lucky in my entire life
39
it doesn't add up two million dollars is not that easy to make no
40
if someone out of nowhere starts saying wifey this, wifey that, we're going to have this many kids, we're going to live in this house,
41
either they are projecting to a scary degree,
42
which means that there's something unhealthy about them
43
and they believe they're this in love with you and they're mistaken because they don't even know you.
44
So that love isn't real and you're dealing with a really unhealthy person, or you're dealing with a scammer.
45
What they're scamming you out of, it might be sex, it might be money,
46
it might be just all of your energy, and they're not going to give you anything in return.
47
They're just going to bring you out to San Diego
48
and have a fun with you and then send you back and be like, wifey what?
49
I didn't say any of that.
50
I don't remember any of that it's
51
you know there's some they're trying to get something
52
they're trying to get something
53
so you you have to start seeing it for what it
54
really is it feels nice to be told you just won a million dollars but you can't trust it
55
and it's the same with this how can you feel this way about me you do not know me
56
you have no idea who I am
57
so either take the time to actually get to know who I am and let's start again or
58
I'm going to see this for what it is
59
which is either a gross projection or a manipulation but someone can only know you over time by asking questions,
60
by taking the time to actually get to know you And by the way, be careful of like traveling to see someone who you don't know.
61
I mean, in general, are they willing to make an effort to see you?
62
Could they meet you halfway?
63
You know, like, is there a way for the two of you to meet in a way
64
that requires at least some mutual investment?
65
Because the, you know, fly to be with me in my backyard is a very easy thing to say to someone.
66
And I'm not saying that means they're dangerous or evil, but at the very least, it's like, it's a lot of work for you
67
and none for them I think that's such a good point we've made it before
68
but um just when somebody asks you to fly to see them it feels like investment
69
because you go oh my god they really want to spend all this time with me
70
but actually it's no investment
71
if the person is thinking well I'm gonna have a nice weekend I'm gonna get sex out of it
72
and then they fly home and i never have to think about it again
73
or i certainly don't have to think about it further than
74
that weekend and until i decide but we think it feels like
75
because it feels like investment right it feels like it's something serious
76
because you think oh this person wants to spend a weekend with me exactly
77
so yeah i think that's really interesting what it is is
78
you're depositing a whole lot of money for very little investment on their part.
79
Thank you so much for watching.
80

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
