Shadowing Practice: Introvert vs Extrovert On A Blind Date! - Learn English Speaking with Video

What's your relationship like with your dad?

Well, it's not the best.

Um...

Perfect.

We set up two strangers on a blind date.

They aren't allowed to see each other until the reveal. Will they find love?

My name's Lexi.

I'm 19.

I'm from Long Island, New York, and now I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

What's up, YouTube?

I'm Tyler.

I'm 20 years old.

I'm from Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

Like, no one knows where that is.

But now I live in Fort Lauderdale.

I would describe myself as outgoing, but if you don't know me, I'm shy.

I would describe myself as like a friendly douchebag.

I look like a douche, but I am friendly and cool.

What I'm looking for, somebody who's loyal and has a good personality.

Kind of just looking for like a pretty girl who's like cool and down to do things with me, like fun.

It's also good like in the bed.

My biggest turnoff would be somebody who's immature.

Yo, stop the video right now and go subscribe.

I need you to subscribe right now.

And does I know how to like communicate?

My biggest turn offs is if they're like a huge club person

or if they like to drink all the time and like do stuff like that.

What happened with my last ex is I was cheated on.

What happened with my ex just didn't work out, you know?

Just basically that's it.

I look forward to how they got here, like how he was put on this show.

I want to get to know them and see like what they like to do, if they like to cuddle. And yeah.

So two truths and a lie.

I have 63 bodies, I have five bodies, and I like to hit the gym.

Um, I think you have 63 bodies and you hit the gym.

and then I think your lie is you have five.

Okay, well, I actually have five bodies.

The lie is the 63 bodies, whoops.

You think I have 63 bodies?

I do.

Okay, well, that sucks.

I don't, so that's good.

So now you, two truths and a lie.

I have a tongue piercing, I have six dogs, and I have six bodies.

Okay, um, I think six bodies is a lie.

Yeah, that is one.

Okay, so how many bodies do you have?

Um, eight.

Okay, nice.

We asked the dates about their ideal first date.

My ideal date would be something at the beach, like for the sunset or a dinner.

Sweet, we could do that.

My ideal date would be, I would like to grab dinner.

If the vibes are there, go cuddle and like watch a movie.

Not, I'm not saying we should crack, but cuddle, watch a movie would be ideal to me.

It can happen.

You can do that.

All right, sweet.

How do you feel about hooking up on the first date?

Hooking up on the first date, no. Probably just a kiss, but anything more than that, no. All right, I feel like hooking up on the first date, I wouldn't hook up on the first date.

Especially if I'm trying to actually date someone.

That's absolutely not.

We let the dates have an open conversation to help get to know each other.

Are you a dog person or a cat person?

I like dogs.

What about you?

I like cats.

I had three cats in my hometown when I lived back at home with my family.

I wanna get another cat.

I used to have a cat.

What was its name?

Houdini.

He passed away.

He ate a frog.

Oh.

Yeah.

Well, I had a cat that like ran away on Halloween when I was like, I don't remember how old I was, but I was young.

So you're like unlucky?

Yeah, I guess.

I guess that's what that means.

Nah, I'm like, my presence is, like I feel like I can make you lucky. But I'm.

I guess we'll see.

Yeah, I guess we will see.

So what do you plan on doing after this?

I don't know, I don't really have anything planned.

Okay.

What do you have planned?

Honestly, I still have to hit the gym today.

We should hit the gym together.

Today?

Yeah.

That would be fire.

We just have to see each other first, I feel like.

Like at the end, I feel like that would be fun.

What do you like to work out at the gym?

Okay, I like to hit legs, but arms is like easier and not as much on your body, so.

Do you like to squat?

I don't know.

100

I squat weird because when I was younger, I like broke my knee.

101

Okay, well if I spotted you on squats, I feel like that would be more ideal.

102

Um, no. Oh, okay.

103

Well, um, I'm just kidding.

147

I used to go there.

148

I haven't been to New York in like four years.

149

Wait, why haven't you been there so long?

150

Haven't gone.

151

I don't really have a reason.

152

Do you like to do raves or anything like that?

153

I actually went to one.

154

I went to Ultra Miami.

155

Did you like it?

156

Yeah, I did.

157

164

What type of music do you like?

Like, if you put on a song, I'll probably know it.

167

I don't really have, like, a specific. Do you?

168

Yeah, I like rap, but also, like, white girl pop music is a good one for, like, you know, cleaning around the house and stuff.

187

I like chicken and ground beef, to be honest, because, you know, gym-goer.

188

Well, we can make that.

189

Okay.

190

We asked the dates a few questions to help them get to know each other.

191

I've been single for about a year now, so, yeah.

192

How long have you been single?

193

I've been single for like about a year, a little longer.

194

What would your ex say was the real reason you broke up?

195

My ex would say that the reason we broke up is because, I don't know, probably a ton of terrible things about me.

196

But that's just life, I guess.

197

How about you?

198

Wait, what's so terrible?

199

I mean, I don't think anything is terrible about me.

200

I mean, obviously, like everyone has poor traits.

201

Like, but I don't know.

202

I just feel like it was a rough breakup

203

and I feel like there would be a lot of negative things said towards me.

204

I don't think that I'm a bad person or anything like that.

205

What would your ex say was the real reason you guys broke up?

206

Um, probably that like I was crazy, but who knows.

207

Okay, I was gonna, but I like crazy.

208

So like, that's, I kind of like crazy.

209

So, wait, what's crazy about you?

210

I would say nothing, but.

211

nothing yeah okay all right is is the tongue piercing like

212

is it crazy does it do crazy things maybe okay it

213

could how would your friends describe you i think my friends would describe me as fun

214

and like energetic definitely loyal how would your friends describe you

215

my friends would describe me as they would probably say i'm there for them always

216

and they look to me as like an older brother that's

217

usually like the role I play in most people's lives but also like funny loud obnoxious.

218

What's your worst first date story?

219

I don't really have a worst first date story

220

but like I took a girl to a concert one time

221

and she like went on stage and twerked on a rapper so yeah that was like a crazy experience.

222

It wasn't really like a first date but like it was just a thing.

223

Wow.

224

How about you?

225

What was your worst first date?

226

We went to the movies and we were sitting in the car.

227

I look up and my ex is right there.

228

Oh.

229

Just following me, chasing, yeah.

230

What happened when he was following you?

231

Like, what would you do?

232

Nothing.

233

We drove away and he was just following for a little bit.

234

My phone was being blown up and that's all.

235

Okay, that's crazy.

236

How long into a relationship until you become intimate?

237

I wouldn't put a time on it.

238

I just think whenever the time is right.

239

I would say I wait a little bit to get like super intimate

240

because I'm just not comfortable enough If I really like someone to like have sex right off the bat to be honest.

241

Have you ever been in love?

242

No, I've never been in love.

243

What I thought was love wasn't love.

244

Have you ever been in love?

245

I have been in love, but I feel like I haven't been in the love that I truly want for myself.

246

Like to actually like live with and like I feel like I want something better that is like stronger with, I don't know.

247

That's really, I can say to describe it to be honest.

248

Does that make sense?

249

Um, no. In the past, the experience I had with love was like, yes, I was in love,

250

but I feel like I could be in something a lot better that feels right.

251

So you weren't in love?

252

If it was true love, it would have been a thing.

253

Like, that would have been the person that I married, you know what I'm saying?

254

So yeah, maybe I wasn't in true love, but I thought I was.

255

What's the most bodies that you'll accept in a partner?

256

The most bodies I would accept in a partner, the body count really doesn't matter too much, unless it's over 100 or something.

257

That's pretty crazy, because why are you doing that with 100 people?

258

If someone has a high body count, I could honestly get over it if they show me that they're loyal and everything.

259

It's just gonna take a little more for me to trust that they're truly loyal.

260

How about you?

261

What's your max body count in a guy?

262

I don't have like a number.

263

Your past doesn't really define who you are now.

264

Like you can always change.

265

People go through things.

266

So I wouldn't put like a number on it.

267

I agree.

268

What's the biggest red flag in a partner?

269

The biggest red flag a guy can have is probably like a lot of girlfriends.

270

Okay, I can see that.

271

I think the biggest red flag in a girl, honestly, just not being like trustworthy.

272

If I feel like you're talking about me like in a negative way Constantly behind my back

273

or something or like I could tell that you're not loyal.

274

That's like the number one thing What's the biggest red flag that you're into?

275

I can't answer I don't know I don't have an answer for

276

that Biggest red flag that I'm into is if a girl likes to be called a good girl Um, I would say that's my favorite.

277

Why is that a red flag?

278

Because that like shows daddy issues I'd say but daddy issues is like a good thing to me.

279

I would say Okay.

280

That flag is raised for sure.

281

What's your relationship like with your dad?

282

Well, it's not the best.

283

Um, we talk here and there.

284

Perfect.

285

Do you have a good relationship with your dad?

286

Uh, yeah.

287

I got a good relationship with my family.

288

I mean, they live in Pennsylvania, so I don't see them as much anymore.

289

But I still keep in touch and we got a good relationship.

290

Okay, well that's good.

291

Thanks.

292

What happened with your last hookup and when was it?

293

My last hookup was a couple months ago, I'd say, and I kissed a fat girl in a club, so that was pretty bad.

294

Yeah, that's why we're moving away from the club and hoe phase, I would say, and looking for love.

295

So do you like bigger girls?

296

Absolutely not, absolutely not.

297

Never had sex with a bigger lady, so that's something you should know.

298

You don't think you could change them and take them to the gym or something?

299

I definitely do have the ability to do that, but honestly, I really don't want to do that, I would say.

300

Yeah, I definitely have it.

301

Little bit of redditrutide and a good diet, and they'll be all right in a little bit, but that's just not what I'm looking for.

302

Do you like big, big dudes?

303

No, I don't.

304

Nice.

305

How was your last hookup?

306

My last hookup was months ago as well.

307

We kind of met through friends.

308

Yeah, I don't really have much to say about it.

309

Was it bad?

310

Was it good?

311

I'd prefer not to answer.

312

Okay, just, do you feel embarrassed about it?

313

We can say that.

314

Did you have your tongue piercing then?

315

Yeah, I did.

316

Did you put it to work?

317

I did not.

318

Nice.

319

I did not do that.

320

What's your signature move in the bedroom?

321

Signature move in the bedroom, I'm good at making out.

322

That's my highest confidence thing.

323

I'm really good at kissing.

324

So if I could start kissing you, I can hit home base.

325

How about you?

326

What's your go-to move in the bedroom?

327

I don't really have one.

328

Um, I just kind of go with like the flow.

329

I get that.

330

So I'll initiate the make out and then from there we'll just go with the flow.

331

Yeah.

332

Okay, perfect.

333

Sounds good.

334

We asked the dates to give their first impressions on each other.

335

My initial thoughts on my date is the whole like taking the girl to the concert and she went up on stage.

336

Kissing a bigger girl in the club when you know that's not what you like is also another like

337

What are you doing?

338

But I don't know my initial thoughts on her

339

And like sweet she seems a little shy

340

which I like I definitely like shy girls at first I think the tongue piercings interesting, but she seems sweet like she's all about loyalty and stuff and that's what I'm looking for,

341

which is actually great.

342

His voice, I would say, is attractive, like, sounds good.

343

Her voice sounds cute.

344

She sounds, like, petite and cute.

345

I don't know how to explain it.

346

A green flag that would stand out would be what he said that his friends would say about him.

347

The green flag would be, like, the loyalty and, like, saying, like, that's her thing.

348

Red flag is why is your ex still following you around?

349

I can't say too much because everyone has had crazy exes.

350

So that makes sense.

351

A red flag would be like, he's a little cocky.

352

I wanna see like just what he looks like and put a face to the personality.

353

He said he plays basketball, so I think he might be tall.

354

I'm eager to see what she looks like.

355

And then from there, we could talk more.

356

We asked the dates to draw what they think their blind date looks like.

357

So what do you think I look like?

358

You sound blonde, so I think you're, you just seem like a blonde girl.

359

I think you're like- Are you calling me stupid?

360

No, no, that's not what I'm saying.

361

I think you're like, not too tall, I feel like.

362

You don't sound, you sound like cute and small, I would say.

363

Does that make sense?

364

Yeah.

365

So, you see the tongue, I put a piercing on it.

366

Cause that's, you know, attention to detail over here.

367

Oh, it's really bad.

368

What's the dots on the face?

369

I feel like you might have some cute freckles.

370

Maybe, I don't know.

371

Okay.

372

Alright, what do you think I look like?

373

I don't know, maybe tall cause you said you played basketball?

374

I mean I wouldn't say, I'm not too tall I would say, but I'm not short.

375

Oh, I feel like you have a big smile on your face.

376

Okay.

377

Wavy hair.

378

Okay.

379

Do you still play basketball?

380

No, but like if I'm bored and I get a group of friends like every now and then maybe.

381

I told you I hit the gym though.

382

You did.

383

What color eyes do you think I have?

384

Brown.

385

Okay, yeah.

386

What color are your eyes?

387

I have brown eyes.

388

Okay.

389

Nice.

390

Thanks.

391

That's cool.

392

I have really short arms, I think.

393

Is that a soccer ball?

394

No, that's a basketball.

395

Okay.

396

Nice.

397

We asked the dates to rate hypothetical scenarios.

398

He's a 10, but he smokes cigarettes.

399

What would he be then?

400

He would be like a 2.

401

Okay.

402

I don't smoke cigarettes.

403

I also don't vape, so.

404

She's a 10, but she's really bad anxiety.

405

She'd still be a 10.

406

I could deal with an anxious girl.

407

I have anxiety too, so that's okay.

408

He's a three, but he's like really good at laying it down.

409

He would still be like a three.

410

But what if it was like unforgettable?

411

Like every time you go to sleep and you feel like dry, it's like, damn, that one guy just got me.

412

And you just can't forget him.

413

Yeah, still a three.

414

Okay, a memorable three though.

415

She's a 10, but doesn't get her toes done.

416

A six, you know, they need to be done.

417

So you're a foot tip guy?

418

Not at all.

419

I'm not a foot type guy, but I could appreciate pretty toes.

420

Okay.

421

He's a five, but he's rich and famous.

422

He's a six, but it also doesn't matter that much.

423

So you don't really care about money or fame?

424

No, not really.

425

But it still brought him up from a five to a six.

426

Right, because I know what I can provide for myself, and if you can't at least match that, then...

427

She's a four, but she has a tongue piercing.

428

She'd still be a four, but I would be still curious to see what that tongue piercing does, you know?

429

But what if it does wonders?

430

She wouldn't be a four.

431

She would be the, actually, she'd be like, I don't know, I'd be like maybe a five.

432

Oh, okay.

433

She's a two, but she has daddy issues.

434

She's a six.

435

She got a couple points up there.

436

She's fun to deal with.

437

Well, that's not a ten, but it's something.

438

We blindfolded the dates to prepare for the reveal.

439

I think it was good.

440

I'm excited to see what she looks like.

441

I think the date was fun.

442

I'm also excited to see.

443

Is there anything specific that you guys want to get to know about each other before you see each other?

444

Nah, I'm just eager to see her.

445

Me too.

446

We can take the blinds folds off in 3, 2, 1.

447

Oh!

448

Tyler, nice to meet you.

449

Fire.

450

She looks pretty.

451

I like her.

452

Okay, you're cute.

453

Wow, I feel like that's not good.

454

Am I too short?

455

Since you said you were like picturing a tall guy.

456

Um, no, you're still taller than roast.

457

Okay, I'll take that as a win.

458

Was I like what you expected?

459

Maybe a little shorter, but like yeah.

460

A little bit.

461

Blonde.

462

Yeah, blonde.

463

Blonde for sure.

464

What would you guys like grade each other one to ten?

465

I'm giving her a ten.

466

I'd say like a nine.

467

Okay.

468

What makes me a nine and not a ten?

469

The cockiness.

470

What about just our looks?

471

A tad.

472

Okay.

473

Cool.

474

Second date.

475

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
