Talking about relationships. 聊聊感情
A: So, are you currently involved with anyone?
B: Um, I’m not really comfortable talking about my love life with you.
A: Oh come on. Just think of me as your friend, not your boss.
B: Fine. I’m in a relationship with Josh from Human Resources. We’ve been going out for like, 10 weeks.
A: Wow, really? Good for you! How did all of this happen? I want all details.
B: Well, we were both stuck in the elevator, so he started to make small talk. And we really hit it off. I gave him my phone number and 2 days later he texted me and asked me out on a date. What’s your current relationship status? Are you seeing anyone?
A: Yeah, I’m seeing a girl called Lucy. We met through my buddy Tim. We’ve been on a few dates. My ex-girlfriend dumped me 2 months ago. I still can’t believe she broke up with me.
