We're back!
2
We're back and we're better.
3
No, we're not.
4
But we're trying to be.
5
We are better.
6
Yeah.
7
Because we're glowing and growing.
8
Hi, guys.
9
I'm Anne.
10
And I'm Anne.
11
And together, we're Anne.
12
Welcome to this episode of Wait, What?
13
Today's episode is going to be about modern day dating.
14
why do we feel like we should talk about this topic well it's definitely something
15
that we're not experiencing we don't lie on this part okay
16
well you're right we don't we don't we don't lie
17
because lying is a sin yes actually it is it is we actually wanted to talk about modern day dating
18
because we've talked a lot about self-care, about healing, about our past relationships, how that has built our character.
19
And you know what?
20
When you're building character, sometimes you need to explore other options and get to know different people in different situations.
21
Well, I think dating, especially...
22
Okay, modern-day dating is a different thing, but I think dating is really important
23
because it allows you to figure out what you like
24
and what you don't like so you know not to settle in the future.
25
Yes.
26
So, but modern day...
27
Sorry, I got a message.
28
Say it again.
29
Say it again.
30
Are you distracted?
31
Talk about modern day dating.
32
We're working.
33
Sorry, I just put my phone on.
34
Do not disturb now.
35
I don't need to do that because nobody sends me messages anyway.
36
Anyways, okay, back to the topic.
37
Modern day.
38
No, basically what I was saying was that like, okay, after everything we've been through now is something we want to talk about
39
that is relatively new yes
40
and i feel like everyone can kind of relate in their own way because modern dating is so
41
it's such a foreign concept to me i'm tired tired
42
and also very confusing especially
43
when you're mixing the different generations who are you talking to i'm just i'm just speaking in general
44
from a third party looking in to a certain a certain
45
party look dating a different generation is a whole different topic
46
yes well it's really not actually it's quite modern day dating
47
okay we're not making any sense right now we're going in circle what is modern day dating okay
48
so i think modern day dating is combining like
49
so many different personalities plus social media plus like this work from home this whole flexibility
50
and work and trying to make a relationship build organically and naturally
51
when the reality is I don't think it works the same
52
way it used to work like in our parents time for example for sure we have um commitment issues
53
I feel like yeah a lot of people have commitment issues not because they don't want to commit
54
Or maybe that is one reason.
55
Or another reason is because they're afraid of getting hurt.
56
Yeah.
57
So they're protecting themselves and settling for very surface level relationships
58
so that they can avoid that deeper connection and then avoid getting hurt in the end in case it doesn't work out.
59
But is that really a relationship if you think about it?
60
Because isn't a relationship about sharing vulnerability, sharing like the hardships, the good, the bad.
61
And it's also like making that choice to choose each other every single day, even though there are days where you're like, why am I talking to this person?
62
Something wrong with the throat, my friend.
63
I'm a little sick.
64
No, but I feel like every situation works differently for each couple or couples or throuple, whatever works for you.
65
But I do feel like it limits us from these deeper connections
66
because we're settling and with all of these external noises and validations and things that we look for,
67
we forget that, you know, commitment is important.
68
Loyalty is important.
69
Consistency is key.
70
Okay, let me ask you this.
71
What have you experienced now that you think you can label as like modern day dating?
72
How are you maneuvering through it right now?
73
I am not maneuvering.
74
She's traumatized.
75
Traumalized.
76
Do you want me to go first?
77
Yeah.
78
Suddenly, there's something wrong with my throat.
79
Okay, so going through, like, I've been single for a year now, right?
80
And I think I've, I don't want to say I've dated my few share of people, but I've gone on a few dates and I've learned about, you know, different people.
81
And I have found that everyone, like we said, seems to have like a real commitment issue.
82
Like it always tends to lead to like a situationship where they really like you, but they're not ready to give you that full commitment.
83
But I've also found that even when I don't really have the commitment issue myself,
84
I'm starting to have it now because it's true like the there's
85
so many options and the ability to connect with people is
86
so rare so when i actually like found that person
87
that i felt like oh my god like i connect with him
88
so well and it's so rare and it's so real i reflect back
89
and i'm like is it actually rare and real
90
when this is just the first person that's opened up to you
91
because no one else seems to want to open up
92
when you're dating anybody and i feel like you can't really get to know people
93
if you don't share your vulnerability yeah
94
so i found it to be really tiring and also just
95
so superficial and
96
so surface level like everyone's really here for a good time not a long time yeah
97
and i am one of those people
98
no um i have now officially been single for one year yes um congratulations happy anniversary
99
and within that year I felt like I went through a lot of ups
100
and downs emotional roller coasters a lot of emotional battles with myself on what I wanted for myself
101
and from a partner or from a person that I was seeing
102
and actually I was seeing someone for a while and and Go on.
103
He was like textbook the perfect guy.
104
Like he was such a great guy.
105
But I started to realize a lot of unhealthy habits
106
that I had that I'd kind of dragged on from my previous relationship that I still had to unlearn.
107
And it kind of like it came out when I was with him
108
because it was so healthy that I got paranoid that it's too good to be true.
109
Self-sabotage.
110
Yes.
111
This has been an ongoing topic, self-sabotage, since EP1.
112
Six months later, growing in Chloe.
113
Yep.
114
But then I realized that sometimes someone can be
115
so great for you and give you everything that you need or everything that you want.
116
But sometimes you're the one that's not ready.
117
And actually the healthy thing to do is to realize that
118
and to take a step back for yourself yeah now i i completely understand you now um yeah
119
so do you believe like right person wrong time maybe yes
120
and i also believe in right person but wrong mindset because i think sometimes
121
the more we want something the more we look for it
122
and then the less it comes to us so i'm
123
so i was like i'm healing i'm healing i want to find this guy this guy this guy
124
and then when it comes you're like oh yeah
125
but do you think there was a part of you
126
that also wanted to enjoy being single for a
127
while as well yes i think i owed it to myself to be single
128
and to get to know myself as a person without someone in my life
129
because i've never had like a big gap between my relationships
130
and then this guy came along and he was just like the perfect guy great everything everything was perfect.
131
But the timing was just not right.
132
I didn't know who I was.
133
I didn't know where I wanted to be in my life to the point where like the habits
134
that I was giving off was toxic and unhealthy.
135
And I was the red flag.
136
I mean, I look back now
137
and I don't think you were the red flag in
138
that sense because you were quite aware that your toxic traits were coming out.
139
And like there there are moments where you're like, okay, I don't know if it's me because I feel this way
140
or if it's me because I'm used to this certain type of treatment
141
so I think again because you hadn't had your time alone you couldn't really figure out
142
which was which yeah and I think that's where like right person wrong mindset comes in
143
because sometimes you you want it but mentally you're not there yet
144
and you can't give that person what they deserve you and
145
but you also can't be selfish yeah and sometimes it doesn't work out the way you want
146
but if it's meant to be it will be remember
147
that ladies if it's meant to be you will be yes i feel like the message
148
that i want to give is just like don't waste your time looking for something
149
or like not looking but like don't want it so bad
150
because when you want it and you grab onto it for
151
so long and it's it's not gonna come organically
152
and it's not gonna come
153
when you need it the most i feel like once you stop looking
154
and once you but but say
155
and you just let life happen what's meant for you will come at the right time
156
when your energy is right where are my crystals
157
okay so can i can i ask you to be a therapist to me then yes
158
because i give really good advice she actually gives really good advice but she sucks at taking her own advice
159
i met someone yes he came at a time where i i was
160
so good on my own i was like in my routine i was working i was doing my thing
161
and all of a sudden he comes
162
and he's like this perfect guy everything i ever wanted in
163
a man right super emotionally intelligent athletic funny golden retriever dorky smart yes i got it all yeah
164
but my instinct was to run yes as always as as
165
always what would you say to me now given everything you know about him
166
and everything you know about me would you say it's right first
167
and wrong time or would you say
168
that it's another thing of like modern day dating like i'm settling
169
because it's the first person i've had the connection with
170
so like i've talked to you about this a lot
171
and i realized
172
that one of the similarities we have in our like this relationship you're talking about right now
173
and the one that i was just previously talking about is
174
that um these two people came into our lives as like
175
the first people we really well exclusively dated um after a very toxic relationship
176
and for me at least i felt like because he was
177
that person that was giving me everything
178
that i wanted in a healthy relationship i was like oh it can't get better than this yeah
179
so i was too scared to allow myself to open my my my like
180
but i my heart sounds so cheesy
181
when you say it in english um like i didn't allow myself to explore not explore options
182
but just to meet new people that are actually good people
183
and so i wouldn't say it's settling
184
but it was more like i'm scared i can't do better than this
185
so i'm gonna stay with what i'm comfortable with okay my argument against
186
that right is but do you feel like that's our
187
toxic mindset on modern day dating because we also know that there's so many options out there because
188
if you look back in like the old days people met
189
through work people met through school people met through uni we
190
have not the the two men we've dated we met through friends
191
but friends of friends the ability
192
because we have social media yeah i feel like it's not
193
a it's not our toxic trait in the sense of like
194
modernity i think we're just scared i think that's what it
195
is it's It's the fear of having to look elsewhere
196
and the fear of allowing ourselves to let go of what we're comfortable with right now.
197
Because you're comfortable, you're happy, you have everything that you want.
198
Why would you look anywhere else?
199
But you know that there are people that are amazing out there.
200
We just haven't met them yet.
201
But they're amazing.
202
yeah and maybe they're the lesson for us to realize
203
that there are amazing people out there some people come into your lives not to stay yeah
204
but they come to teach you a lesson
205
and they come to show you a wider perspective on life the one
206
that sets your standard higher exactly
207
so you never settle again exactly exactly like i do get
208
like moments where i think back i'm like oh like this
209
person would like in a negative situation like this person would never do this
210
or in this situation i'd like i missed this
211
because this is the standard now
212
and i think it's a blessing in disguise even though like it's not the relationship you have right now
213
but it also makes you realize that this is how i'm meant to be treated
214
or what i want which leads you to start dating with intentions with purpose with more clarity
215
because you have that experience of like safe yeah
216
because i think with both the guys
217
that we've dated i don't think we've ever felt so safe yeah
218
and like a girl like a girl like we were in
219
such like feminine energy without even realizing it you know our voices like went higher yeah we would never pick
220
that up like we like i remember you always saying to me like i don't use my brain
221
when i'm with you don't i just kind of like you
222
know those tiktoks where the guy is like left on the right there's a dog over there
223
and then the girl is like that was yeah that was me
224
that was us that was us that was us
225
so um i think like going through dating i've learned
226
that like now as i keep dating until i find my
227
person it's it's to do it with intention it's to do it with clarity
228
because you've gone through the good guy the really really really good guy
229
that you could have ended up with yeah um to now knowing
230
that this is the standard and i will not settle for less
231
but again the importance of dating like people can call you a hoe
232
or you know what i mean like they can call you all these different things
233
but if you actually look back
234
and realize what has dating done for you it's all of this it's actually learning more about yourself
235
and your values and your self-value yeah i really i really think dating is important in this age
236
if you do it with intention.
237
Yeah and I feel like being single
238
and allowing yourself to get to know yourself better also helps with
239
that whether you're dating or not when you're in
240
that process of being responsible for yourself you start to realize
241
what your boundaries are you start to realize what your standards are
242
because you're treating yourself so well you're treating your friends well
243
and why would you settle for anything less than what you can give yourself.
244
Or what you can give me.
245
Exactly.
246
Because you're my baby.
247
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
248
I have a question.
249
Okay.
250
I think a lot of people are curious about our opinions on this too.
251
Situationships.
252
I was just about to bring it up.
253
Situationships are...
254
Okay, wait.
255
But there's, in this day and age, situationships.
256
There's friends with benefits.
257
There's concui, which are three completely different things.
258
There's someone, there's dating.
259
And then there's dating.
260
And that's so confusing.
261
I don't even know what the difference is.
262
Where do you draw the line between each one?
263
Like when you're friends with benefits, then you only see each other for whatever benefit it is.
264
Okay.
265
And then there's friends with benefits where you see each other.
266
But when you're together, you're super couple-y.
267
It's more than just sex.
268
And then is that a situationship?
269
But is that a situationship?
270
But you don't talk in day-to-day life.
271
It's just when you see each other, you're super couple-y, you talk about the deepest things.
272
But only when you're together.
273
And then there's situationships where you're pretty much like you're together, but there's no label on it.
274
And then you don't have the responsibility of being exclusive or boyfriend and girlfriend.
275
And then there's dating, which is you're seeing each other, you're dating each other.
276
But you're not boyfriend and girlfriend.
277
But you're not boyfriend and girlfriend.
278
But you're technically together.
279
Yeah.
280
And then there's Konkui, which is like the person who keeps you company.
281
Like there's nothing there, but it's like you're just talking and being.
282
Yeah.
283
So where do you draw the line between each, what is it even called?
284
Stages?
285
I don't, I don't.
286
I don't even know.
287
I think people will know how confused we are right now.
288
Because when is it considered too much of one thing to be considered another thing?
289
Okay, I think first, situationship, no go.
290
I think situationship is just two people
291
or one person with a commitment issue who doesn't know how to voice it and wants to take advantage of your company, your energy, your aura.
292
But what if...
293
Okay, okay.
294
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
295
But what if those two people agreed that they didn't want anything more and they like this situationship situation?
296
But do you actually think it works?
297
But it doesn't have to work right now because you're not looking for a future with that person.
298
It's like a companion placeholder.
299
Holy fk, this is confusing.
300
So is it a friend with benefits?
301
Because then you don't like, well, because you're friends and you're having sex.
302
Yeah, but then it's the same thing as a situationship where like when you're together, you're acting very couple-y.
303
So it's a situationship.
304
Is a situationship considered a friend with benefits?
305
With, but friends with benefits, you're not talking outside of the benefits.
306
I'm going to ask Chad.
307
God, God. So what's the...
308
You start to realize how old you are when you don't know these things.
309
What's the difference between friends, friends with benefits and a situationship.
310
I call chat GPT Chad is basically her boyfriend.
311
Basically.
312
Yeah.
313
Great question.
314
The two overlap, but has some key differences.
315
Friends with benefits foundation starts with friendship.
316
There's an actual bond history or mutual trust beyond sex focus.
317
The friendship remains the priority with sex as an add on.
318
So how is that different to a relationship?
319
Because I feel like a relationship now is just your best friends
320
that have sex
321
and you share anyways expectations usually an understanding of no romance meaning you're not moving towards commitment
322
but you still value each other outside the bedroom clarity often
323
clearer boundaries since both people agree it's friendship plus intimacy not dating okay wait
324
so yeah i feel like yes i agree
325
but the common understanding is not
326
that yes i don't even know how i'm talking okay okay
327
okay okay okay okay situation ship foundation starts with attraction or dating energy, not necessarily friendship.
328
The focus is emotionally and physically involved, but without labels or clear direction.
329
Expectations, ambiguous.
330
There's usually some emotional connection, maybe even with exclusivity, but without defined commitment or progression.
331
Clarity, murky.
332
It feels like more than friends with benefits, less than a relationship.
333
You share couple-like moments, but also uncertainty.
334
God, I hate being single sometimes but is it because is it
335
because you don't want to go forward in that or is it
336
because you don't know i mean the the the underlining thing like the common thread within all of it is
337
the emotions involved yes and how you communicate
338
that with the other person yes
339
because that's how you go from one thing to the other right from a situation ship to like a relationship
340
or from dating to a relationship everything involves communicating your boundaries what you want
341
and really being honest with yourself but you know how i feel like most relationships situationships end ghosting
342
oh bitch like it's just ghosting ghosting ghosting
343
because you don't have the clear boundary you don't have to communicate it's mercury it's a gray area
344
and also because the foundation wasn't friendship
345
so you don't owe anyone like an apology
346
or you don't owe them any form of relationship yeah
347
so the respect is not there aha there we go i think they're getting somewhere
348
so we're bringing it down yes
349
and what about those relationships where you meet someone overseas
350
and then you spend like an amazing few days with them
351
and no no it happens a lot yeah it really does
352
like your your vacation romance every summer like every summer or in hong kong
353
okay hong kong ended up being the love of my life
354
at the wrong time hong kong ended up me getting ghosted
355
hong kong was very different for the both of us
356
but i had
357
so much fun in hong kong yeah hong kong was really
358
basically like there's those types of relationships too right the one
359
i had in hong kong yours turned out to be something more genuine more real yeah
360
but you have this really intense connection with someone for four days
361
and you're together like 24 7 real
362
and said it real boyfriend energy true they were like in
363
their own world like the way they looked at each other
364
we were we were obsessed with each other those four days
365
and then after that nothing anyways anyways um what what do you what do you call
366
that is that a situation ship i don't know um a fling is
367
that still a thing but a fling with that deep of a connection where he said, I haven't met anyone like you in a really long time.
368
It's called lying.
369
Back to reality.
370
It's called being a guy.
371
Back to reality.
372
Okay.
373
So with all of these, like, friends with benefits, situationships, kouin koui, do you think people are in relationships less now
374
because the other options are more favored because people are
375
so guarded with their emotions and don't seek deeper connections with people because it's less of a responsibility.
376
Yes.
377
Yeah.
378
Yes.
379
And I will admit that I'm one of them now
380
because I'm so self-aware that I know that when I commit to someone, I'm so committed.
381
Because you're a lover girl.
382
I'm a lover girl.
383
So I feel like at the same time, I need to respect myself to know that if I'm going to commit to someone, they have to be one fully in with me
384
and I need to be in a position where I'm okay with myself financially, career-wise.
385
I have my shit together pretty much because I know that once I give them something, parts of myself will have to kind of take a step back naturally because you care about this other person.
386
You want to make their life easier, and I'm sure they feel the same way.
387
But do I wish I was in love and had love?
388
Yes, but it's not going anywhere.
389
I know I have love within me, and I know I have love to give, but I got to pour into my own cup first.
390
And that's why I at least lean towards that.
391
I think other people had their own reasons.
392
Like, what's yours?
393
The thought of a relationship right now gives me the ick.
394
Like, I don't know.
395
I think I'm so happy with myself and where I'm at, the freedom that I have,
396
that I just want to protect my peace and not give that away to anyone just yet.
397
And I think this realization came after I was seeing that guy.
398
And I realized that a relationship was too much for me mentally and emotionally.
399
And I wasn't ready for that kind of big step yet.
400
and within that I think I was so pressured by myself
401
that like by the timeline of life
402
that I gave myself like at this age I want to
403
be married at this age I want to have a kid at this age blah blah
404
and I feel like I kind of let
405
that go I do still want to have my first kid by 35
406
but everything else I realized like you don't need like technically
407
you don't need a husband to have a kid like you can still do everything by yourself
408
but I feel like once I let that go
409
my approach to relationships kind of chilled out a little bit yeah and now i'm also like you leave
410
pineapple because sneeze is
411
that a thing you say pineapple what are you gonna see okay sorry i've never heard of
412
that but anyways um
413
and that's why i feel like now i'm also leaning more towards like situations relationships
414
because not because i want to be that kind of person
415
but just because you have the company you have like
416
that emotional satisfaction with someone
417
but you don't have you don't have the responsibility of checking in on them
418
or you know being that girlfriend material which i know i can be
419
and i don't want to be that just now yeah
420
because i like i'm like you once i'm in i'm 100 in
421
and i don't want to be 100 in right now
422
because i'm 100 into myself so it sounds a bit selfish
423
but i feel like i owe it to myself right now to be selfish
424
and i don't want to be in anything serious right now
425
and i think that's completely fair as long as you don't
426
hurt people along the way of course you know i think you have to be honest
427
and you have to voice out for me at least voice
428
out what you want voice out where what your vision is yeah
429
or whatever is happening and And then if the person like agrees or is on the same page, then great.
430
But if they're not, then you know, okay, maybe this is not the person that you want to continue this with.
431
Yeah.
432
Okay.
433
So I think also like modern day dating includes a lot of new, different power dynamics.
434
A lot of men aren't willing to go 50-50
435
and a lot of women are okay with it as well what's your take on
436
that um i feel like a lot of people have evolved
437
from the traditional like the man should be the provider
438
and women should like provide for themselves
439
and it's all based off of like your own preference
440
but for me i i'm still with the the man should be the provider if you can't Like on the first date,
441
if some guy that I was seeing like a foreseeable future with said 50-50,
442
that would probably be the last time that he saw me.
443
Because then you think like everything else in the future.
444
Like, okay, if you buy a house, if you have kids and that's 50-50, I have to carry a kid in me for nine months.
445
I have to do this, I have to do that.
446
And you go to work, you make more because you're a man.
447
And I still have to pay the same amount as you.
448
I feel like that's not really fair.
449
that's just my own preference there is no right
450
or wrong okay i just feel like the man should be the provider financially emotionally mentally
451
because i feel like men the likelihood of a man leaving a woman is
452
so much higher than than a girl leaving a man
453
so then wouldn't you think in in contrast to that then
454
if the likelihood of a man leaving a woman is higher
455
isn't it more important than ever for women to be able to provide
456
so that they don't have to rely on the men to provide?
457
I think they should be able to provide for themselves and then consider the relationship that they're in.
458
Because I, like I always told myself,
459
I'm not going to settle with anyone until I can financially support myself before I can provide for myself.
460
I have a house, I have this and everything settled for myself so that I don't have to rely on a man.
461
And it's not that women can't
462
but it's also nice to be taken care of yeah
463
and for me i feel like i'm so like i'm always
464
that strong independent woman i have to take care of my
465
team i have to do this i have to do that
466
and sometimes i just want to come home
467
and be a girl i just want to be taken care
468
of i don't want to be a strong independent woman outside of my house
469
and inside of my relationship i could not agree with
470
that it's so hiring like it's nice to be taken care of
471
and being like hey babe don't worry i got it like don't worry i planned this for us already
472
or you don't have to worry you don't have to like yeah it's the the calmness
473
and the peace of mind that i would like
474
safety yeah just like i think i think the whole protect
475
and provide thing that men are expected
476
or were expected to do i think really just comes down
477
to women feeling the need to feel safe in the relationship they're in
478
because i think when they're when they feel safe they blossom
479
and they you know it gives them the space to be what they want to be
480
and i think women who are thriving women who are safe women who are at peace bring
481
so much to the table and i think that's what it really comes down to
482
and i don't think it really actually fully comes down to
483
like finances obviously it's nice to have someone look after you financially
484
but i think the deeper root in the one for
485
that it goes into it goes into feeling safe yeah
486
but what about you would you go 50 50 or i would go like 70 30 don't lie
487
no i would go 70 30 because this is the thing
488
so if a guy asks you on a date can you pay 70
489
talking about like those small things no no i right now
490
i'm talking about like a date a date i first date
491
at least i expect the mountain yeah i don't expect it's not expected
492
but it's like appreciated i would appreciate for them to pay
493
and if they do pay on the first date
494
and we just get dinner for example i will pay for the dessert oh yeah of course like
495
if you go for ice cream then i'll do
496
that like the smaller thing yeah that's fine yeah like i will contribute
497
and i i want to and I know I'm able to, but it's about, again, the principle.
498
It's about like being chivalrous, you know, being like, you see the value in me, you see the value in my time,
499
you see the value in what we're building that I'm willing to provide for this meal.
500
And if I see that you're happy to do that, then it's like, okay, then I will, I will contribute to, to whatever this is or whatever it might be.
501
But I do get it about like the bigger things.
502
Like, okay, like you said 70, 30.
503
I feel like if you take 100% of like your salary versus the guy's salary
504
and then you say okay for this we're going to pay
505
30% of our salary into this you might make less
506
and he might make way more yeah but you're taking the same amount
507
and contributing to the same thing yeah I can understand that
508
because then you're not expecting okay if I'm paying 50 the guy's paying 50
509
and he wants you to pay 50 as well
510
but you earn less then it's not really fair yeah yeah I that's the
511
But what if you earn more than the guy?
512
See, like, does it have to...
513
Then I must be marrying for love.
514
I think about that all the time.
515
That's so shallow as well.
516
I don't think it's about being shallow.
517
I really, really do think it goes down to you want to feel safe.
518
Because I'm so tired of mothering men.
519
Yeah, it's not your job either.
520
It's not my job to be your mom!
521
it's also like what you said you have to be the
522
one to have the baby you need to be the one
523
to take care of the baby the first well at least three years of their life right
524
because it's it's just it's just how it works unfortunately for us women or also fortunately like it goes workplace
525
yes so when you're providing 70 and then that goes away
526
because now you're providing for another human being it that's what i would take into account
527
if it was the other way around because
528
if i'm planning on spending on you financially time as well i i need to know
529
that that direction because i'm hoping it's going
530
that direction you you you've got us yeah that's that's kind of more what it is yeah okay
531
so basically through it all friends with benefits situationships conclui dating
532
relationships everything kind of just comes down to being honest with yourself what you want
533
and communicating that directly with the person that you're seeing yeah
534
and communicating that with the person that you're seeing or
535
that you're with and honestly just staying true to your boundaries
536
and your values as well yeah because there are
537
so many people out there that haven't met you yet
538
that you haven't met that could be the love of your life yeah
539
but you need to allow yourself to go out of
540
that comfort zone and out of
541
that box to be able to find what really fits you
542
and what you want yeah i think for me like ultimately
543
is it comes down to what you feel safest in
544
because i think nobody is worth taking your peace of mind
545
and disrupting your routine
546
and disrupting your trajectory of like doing you of your growth um of your career
547
so whatever it is you choose to be
548
and make sure you're in a situation where you feel like you can communicate with them properly
549
but most of all where you feel like you can be you yeah
550
and you don't have to be anything other than that
551
because i i think the easiest thing
552
when you go through all this is you lose you lose yourself you lose pieces of yourself
553
and yeah no one should take that away from you yeah
554
and when you're with someone remember that you still have your own life
555
and you still are your own person
556
and being with someone else doesn't mean you have to be
557
less of who you are you need to both have your own life
558
and grow separately but also a life where you can grow together
559
but you should never lose yourself in the process because you want
560
that other person to accept you more um just to finish
561
off based on what you said they need to be an
562
addition to your happiness yeah not the reason for it yeah i think that's exactly all it comes down to
563
so um those of you who are in situationships uh friends with benefits dating exclusively dating you do you You do you.
564
I hope you're okay.
565
Do it for yourself and for the satisfaction that it brings to you and the happiness that it does.
566
But if it's not adding to your happiness, like Anne said, a la paubelle.
567
Straight to the trash.
568
Bye! And good luck.
569
I don't know.
570
Holy f*.
571
We're not even halfway yet.
572
Can you see that it's a look on the camera?
573
Do you know where I'm talking about?
574
Right here.
575
Sound check.
576
One, two, three.

この動画で身につくスピーキングスキル
この会話を通して、日常的なトピックでの自然な会話の流れを学ぶことができます。特に「現代のデート」のような話題を巡り、途中で話題が逸れたり、訂正したりする様子は、リアルな会話の典型です。また、相手の発言に合わせて即座に反応し、自分の意見を追加するスキルも養えます。さらに、「lying is a sin」のようなくだけた表現から「build organically and naturally」のようなよりフォーマルな表現まで、多様な語彙の使い分けも観察できます。
聞き取りに注意すべき音のつながり
会話の中には、自然な発音の特徴がたくさんあります。例えば、「We're back! We're back and we're better.」では、「We're」が「Wer」と短く発音され、「and we're」が「anwer」とつながっています。また、「I'm tired tired and also very confusing」では、「tired tired」が「tiredtired」と連続し、「and also」が「analso」となっています。これらのリンキングやリダクションを観察することで、よりネイティブらしい発音を身につけることができます。
ネイティブのように話すコツ
ネイティブのようなリズムとストレスを真似るには、会話のテンポに合わせて発音の強弱をつけることが重要です。例えば、「modern day dating is a different thing」では「different」にストレスがかかり、「thing」は弱く発音されています。また、「we're going in circle」の「circle」は伸ばして発音され、感情を表現しています。shadowing siteや英語シャドーイングの練習で、これらのリズムを体得することができます。shadowspeaksやshadow speakの方法を使い、動画を何度も繰り返し聞き、真似て話すことで、自然な発音とリズムが身につきます。動画で英語学習することで、リアルな会話の雰囲気を感じながら、スピーキング力を向上させることができます。
この動画の文法
話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。
| 文型 | 動画での表現 |
|---|---|
| 条件文 if + 節, will/would + 動詞 — 条件とその結果 | if it's meant to be it will be · if it's meant to be you will be |
| 現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している | we've talked · we've been · I've been |
| 受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てる | be treated · be considered · were obsessed |
| 関係詞節 who / which + 節 — 人や物について情報を加える | concui, which are · dating, which is · Konkui, which is |
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
