There's this girl I met online and I liked her, but her friend texted she doesn't like you in a crush way and also said, just so you don't get your hopes up.

That's fine.

That's really like good of her for doing that.

So you don't get your hopes up and waste your time.

You know what this means?

Now you can move on and get with other women and get other crushes.

Isn't that awesome?

How nice that somebody, and two things could happen.

Number one, that friend is honest and that girl does not like you.

And now you moved on and you will be able to like, move on and meet new people and meet, or maybe she told you that.

And then in a month when you move on and you do other stuff, she'll be like, no, you know what?

Actually, I really like, I really like Chig.

I really did.

So either or you benefit.

I think that's awesome.

I think you saved yourself a lot of heartbreak and like the worst thing that people can do, I think is waste your time.

And don't get me wrong.

Okay, sometimes, all right, let's talk about it.

Sometimes people have this idea of like, let's say you date somebody for three years

and then let's say you do or you don't get married

and they go oh you wasted my time okay

but you kind of needed to get serious get together do

stuff to get oh sorry do stuff together to realize am

i wasting my like you know you can't just be like

oh i can't believe we dated for six months you wasted my time okay

but while you were dating while you were going on dates

while you were talking about the future while you were opening up

while they were kind of becoming themselves you then realize right

because it's very easy i'll give women as an example right

so let's say you start dating a girl

and she's like i love cooking i never drink

and i don't talk to any of my ex-boyfriends

and then a month goes through she's fine after three months

you're like wait a second you never cook you always talk to an ex

and you're out you drink every day so clearly that's stuff

that you wouldn't have been able to figure out within a month

because you believe her when you know why would you assume she would be lying to you

so yeah i think it's fine i think i think time waste kind of happens

when people are going back and forth and all that

but even then you have to kind of date people

and be friends with them and hang out with them

and do stuff to kind of realize wait a second well

this always kind of happens how does one date at the

age of 30 unfortunately you just you just got to talk to people i think the biggest way is probably

if I were you I'd annoy your friends I tell your

friends hey I am looking for this this this this this this this

if you know anybody let me know set me up on

dates annoy your friends also talk to people right like um the other day

when I had lunch with my friend somebody next to me

was talking about a place called night market in Silver Lake I didn't know it was in Silver Lake

so I was like oh my god where is this like I heard about it and

so just kind of make conversation with people you know all

your friends are married perfect they might have some unmarried friends or they might know some unmarried friends.

I think in life, a lot of stuff is unfortunately kind of like, you only need one yes, right?

It's kind of like a job.

If you think about it, if you want to have a beautiful, lovely, sweet wife, you only need to meet one beautiful,

lovely, sweet woman that you and her agree to go on dates and get married and be together.

It's the same thing like if you're looking for a job, you only need the job to say yes.

And I know it's scary, but knowing that like you only need one yes, Got with my ex situationships best friend.

Hey.

Ex situationships best friend.

I mean, okay, this is gonna, for legal reasons, this is a joke.

Okay.

So legally speaking, let's say I decide that one of my, one of my ex-husbands can, you know, the ones that are alive can get out of the,

I don't know, the dog house or wherever they're at.

And if it doesn't work out with them, that sucks

but they got friends they also have friends

so I get it good for you um personally you know it things it's fine

if things don't work out with people by the way if

if you know if you date a person

and you have three kids together two dogs

and then your best friend swoops in without ever having the conversation with you

and like buries them from under your nose and you're devastated that's different

but if you go on a few dates with a girl

and she's kind of nice but then you meet her friend and you

and the friend just vibe each other a lot more as

long as you guys are both honest I think as long

as you guys are like look I think you're nice we had two dates together you're very sweet

but I just think you know your friend is just my type she

and I have the same humor we like the same stuff

we have the same interests you know maybe like you drink a lot

and I don't like that she also is sober I think it's fine

and I think the older you get as long as people come up to you with respect

and kind of tell you like hey I know this is a hard conversation um

but you think it's bro code violation to date another bro's ex but also like what are we in the 1700s, like don't marry another man's widow.

Like at a certain point, people have dated, people have history.

And I'll give you this example.

Okay.

One of my ex-husbands, he's still alive.

Good for him.

I actually introduced him to one of his future partners because,

okay, me and this ex-husband dated like 20 plus years ago for like few months.

What does that mean now suddenly forever?

I have to go to every woman to be like, you could never, don't even look at him one time when we, you know, when we were in our,

like 20 years ago, when we were in our early whatever 20s, like we held hands and kissed maybe one time.

You're not a bro, but it's the same thing for like women, right?

Where it's like, what am I now, if I introduce him and he gets along with a girl, you know?

Always marry another man's widow.

She's lonely and hags are worth loving.

100

True.

101

I think there's also a time limit of like, how long ago did you date this person?

102

How serious, Right, like if you just get out of like a 10-year relationship and this was the love of your life, yeah, maybe your friend shouldn't date them right away.

103

But if you dated a person for a few months or even a year, 10 plus years ago, and your friend and them re-meet and they hit it off, you know, I don't know.

104

I also feel like you're not allowed to have dibs on people forever, right?

105

Like you're not allowed to be like, ooh, you can be like, maybe if you have like one person

106

that you're like, listen, I'm sorry this is the love of my life

107

and they just don't know it yet and i'm waiting for them maybe

108

but even then like i don't know am i too open-minded

109

am i too open-minded like i i have introduced one of my ex-husbands to like his future partner after

110

that because i was like hey yeah he was great this is why things didn't work out with us

111

but you know like great person just because just Just because me and this person couldn't make things work romantically

112

doesn't mean that he can then make things work romantically with other women or men.

113

I don't know.

114

I'm...

115

Did he have all his limbs?

116

Yes, he did.

117

Three legs, even.

118

He had extra limbs.

119

Sometimes things don't work out for special reasons, you know? So yeah.

120

my parents divorced my mother remarried like a year after they separated i took

121

that very badly i mean yeah when you're 16

122

and your mother divorces your dad of course you feel like oh my god this is my dad um

123

but i think it's again there's definitely stages to this right

124

like let's say you are dating somebody for five plus years

125

and you love them and then your friend behind your back goes

126

and swoops in

127

and starts dating them from right under your nose that's that's fucked up sorry for my language

128

but if yeah if like oh yeah me

129

and this person went on a few dates a few years ago

130

and you and them hit it off go have fun all i'm saying is is i left

131

that ex-husband alive he we were actually so we caught up not long ago

132

and um he works in like tech um in medical tech

133

and you know he's like all my friends are married

134

but he's like

135

if i were to introduce you to somebody uh he's like I'd introduce you to like people in sales

136

or in finance or in stuff like that and he goes

137

and I'm like well I have introduced him to like three

138

three streamer girls throughout like the 20 plus years

139

that I've known him and he's like please no more streamer girls

140

and no vtuber girls either I'm like I'm sorry buddy I don't know anybody else

141

so it feels like the scales aren't exactly fair right but listen I I know what I know

142

I know who I know no I think I introduced him to like two streamer girls throughout the years

143

and one of them ended up stalking him for for like many many years

144

and he had to he had to like yeah it's crazy

145

but in my defense I didn't know the girl very closely she was just a friend of a friend

146

and she was like hey you know I brought him somewhere

147

and she was like wow this guy is great I was

148

like oh my god yes like you should absolutely pursue him I'm like him

149

and I had a thing like 10 years ago don't worry

150

it's not serious like we're friends that's why he's alive

151

and she ended up like stalking him

152

and like being really creepy i didn't know she was gonna

153

be creepy i don't know like i feel like with women

154

i don't know i think guys have a better radar for women being crazy than women do.

155

Because to me, I'm like, yeah, I just thought she was European, you know?

156

As a European myself, I was like, she's just European.

157

I don't think it's anything like that, like that, like that.

158

But yeah, I just, yeah, she as a European, I don't know,

159

she just no, no, she was European.

160

She is European. So yeah.

161

My poor friend but again

162

so yes you should absolutely ask your friends to set you up

163

or and i know some of you were like oh x situations well like yeah

164

if you think about it if you know if if your

165

x situationship whatever has other friends you know there's a way that you can kind of be like hey

166

i know we didn't work out but maybe like a finder's fee maybe

167

if you introduce me to my next partner I will think

168

okay wait you know how in apartment buildings they have this thing we're like

169

if you find a tenant you will get like a month

170

free of rent wait wait wait wait I'm thinking of a business here I'm thinking of a business what

171

if you go to your other ex dates and be like hey

172

if you refer me to my next girlfriend

173

or boyfriend I will buy you I don't know a bag i i will pay your phone bill

174

and you get a bonus if we get married

175

and you get a bonus for every kid we have think about it

176

because because if you just ask like an ex-girlfriend

177

or an ex-boyfriend to introduce you to people why would they they'll they'll be kind of like territorial over it but what

178

if you're like wait no no no like i'll get like

179

do you want to go on a trip to japan i'll

180

buy your flight i'll buy your thing you know come on

181

come on think about Your ex like you know date girl

182

or boy that you went on a date with has other boys or girls that they know

183

I think I think we're sleeping on this And then be like okay, and then you know if we

184

if we date for six months you get a bonus

185

If we get married you get a bonus for each kid we have You get a bonus!

186

That's actually a really great idea.

187

I'm not being weird.

188

I'm not being weird This is a great why can my

189

apartment building be like wow your friend moved into a penthouse Not

190

that they did I'm just giving you an example your friend

191

moved into this apartment We are giving you an amount of money.

192

I think it's a great like okay real talk

193

real talk real talk real like

194

if we actually actually take the funny aspect out of this

195

conversation genuinely why is it my apartment building can be like hey

196

if you find us a tenant we will give you a month

197

or two of rent free of course if you go to like an ex

198

or a friend and you're like hey do you have any friends

199

that you think like sorry we didn't work out

200

or you know it's been long enough we're both adults um do you have anybody

201

that you think i could meet or talk to and

202

if you're genuinely like hey you know I'll buy you dinner I'll buy you some, you know And I know everyone's like money Why is everything about money?

203

Because people are weird And obviously it would be nice

204

if they did it for free But there's also It adds a stake of like They're gonna be serious about it,

205

you know You have to pay If the person has a few killed I'm sorry,

206

that's not funny That's actually really serious and dangerous But it made me laugh

207

like what if they accidentally set you up with serial killer

208

fuck i'm sorry that's not funny i shouldn't laugh

209

but i'm just saying i'm just saying that

210

if you are back in the good old days when i started streaming 15-ish years ago i would open up

211

my Facebook and I would message people every day and be like, could you open my stream?

212

And they're like, I opened it yesterday.

213

I'm like, okay, but could you open it today?

214

I went to my friends.

215

I texted them.

216

I asked them.

217

I asked my stepsister.

218

I talked to everybody.

219

Okay.

220

I was desperate because I knew that getting those first 10 viewers was so important.

221

Have you been this day, you know, before being like, I'm desperate.

222

I haven't met anybody.

223

Have you tried number one, approaching women on the bike path?

224

Have you tried talking to women on the bike path of death Greek and being like, Hey, you look familiar can i have your instagram

225

and number two yeah have you been like hey you know

226

maybe your brother's engaged been like tell your wife to set me up you know um

227

i'm just saying i i think all jokes aside you know maybe maybe forget about the money exchange stuff

228

because then it gets weird but genuinely i think look

229

if your ex situationship whatever it is that you're talking about yeah

230

if it was long enough ago be like hey i'm telling you right now

231

if I was in a place where I was like that's

232

it I'm getting married no matter what it's just a numbers

233

game I just need to meet enough people I would I would go to my ex-husband's

234

and be like hey um I'm glad you're happy I'm glad life is good you're welcome for not killing you

235

uh and cannibalizing your body you I need I need three I need the photos of spider-man

236

and and your hot friends on my desk by Monday I need you to basically you know ask them

237

if they like annoying extroverted Ukrainian women

238

and let's go come on you you got it you got

239

to hustle a little in life you know yeah like Giga has a hot cousin allegedly you know if I

240

if I was a little bit more annoying I'd be like

241

Giga I want the photos of your hot cousin on my

242

desk by Monday listen it is what it is you know

243

and I would give a finder's fee I'm kidding I'm kidding I wouldn't uh it's funny because sometimes when I'm, it's hard because obviously like I am serious about a lot of this.

244

Like I do genuinely think we don't utilize our friendships enough for like

245

if you want a job or if you want to meet somebody, be like, hey, just so you know, tell your friends, hey, just so you know, I am looking for a partner.

246

These are kind of the people I like.

247

If you meet anybody, could you please like ask them if we could get set up?

248

Boom.

249

But then it's hard to take me seriously when I keep being like, and then for every kid we have,

250

you're going to get an extra finder's fee.

251

It's kind of hard to take me seriously when I sprinkle it with jokes, but you know, I still think that there's a lot in here that could be a genuine thing of like,

252

talk to your friends about that kind of stuff.

253

I've talked to my friends about it so much

254

that most of my friends are relegated to like at maximum introducing me to one person every year

255

because they get too excited whenever my friends are like oh

256

my god wait i know somebody i know somebody no no

257

no no no it's one person per household per year at maximum if

258

because otherwise i don't have time i don't have time to

259

be dating i gotta spend 60 minutes on my scooter today

260

you know what i mean i got a scooter to death

261

greek i gotta hurt my ankles with my scooter i don't have time mata what about regularly giving money

262

and chatting them up during chatting them up women during their just chatting streams would

263

that work asking for not me probably i don't know i feel like

264

if you're online it depends what people are looking into personally

265

me um i need to like i need to see people in person

266

because i'm pretty good i feel at like reading people in person

267

when when when we're online it's harder to like pay attention And also then you have to wonder, it's kind of like the waitress dilemma, right?

268

Is she flirting back or is she just saying, thank you so much for the gift song.

269

Thank you for the five gifted.

270

Oh my God, I love you.

271

And you're like, is she in love with me or is she saying I love you, you know?

272

Does she love me or is she being polite, you know?

273

It's not dating time.

274

It's scooting time.

275

It really is scooting time.

276

I think until I get my visa and everything and I know

277

that I can be in the States for a long periodically a time and I can No dating.

278

It's time to scooter, okay?

279

It's time to wear my little helmet and to scooter away, okay?

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.
