Daily Life ‐ Online Dating (C0300)
A: Do you want to hang out tomorrow?
B: Oh, I can’t. I have a date!
A: Really? Wow with who?
B: This girl I’ve been chatting with forthe past couple of months. She’s really cool and she’s driving over here this weekend.
A: Wait a minute, you mean you met her online?
B: Yeah! I signed up for a website called match. and it is great! You fill in all your details and preferences, like if you are a smoker or if you have any pets. Then you find people that have similar characteristics and you can email them or chat.
A: That is kind of weird! What if she is a psycho or something like that?
B: It’s the same as meeting people anywhere and dating them! I am just tired of going to bars or being set up for dates by my friends! I think this is a really cool alternative, especially if you are a bit shy.
A: I guess it does seem logical. I’ll have to check it out!
