Hi everyone, this is Michael And welcome to EngPods.
When I met my friend Dave for lunch yesterday, I saw a gleam in his eyes and knew instantly
that something was up. “I’m in love!” he exclaimed enthusiastically.
“Her name is Stephanie, and she’s a real knockout”.
“Where did the two of you meet?” I asked. “At the supermarket checkout the day before
yesterday” he answered. “It was love at first sight”.
I could see that he was head over heels. He’d been shot by Cupid’s arrow and was in seventh
heaven. “It’s the real thing this time” said
Dave. “There’s a real chemistry between us, it’s not just a crush”.
He started talking about wanting to buy her a ring and proposing marriage.
“Don’t rush into anything”, I warned him. “You’ll scare her off”.
“Don’t worry” he said, “I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life”
“By the way, what does she look like?” I asked.
“Here, I’ve got a photo of her” he said as he handed me a snapshot of his new prize.
He was right. She was very good-looking. “Out of his league” I thought. “What does she
see in him?” I said to myself, He’s no Prince Charming.
But who am I to judge. Love is blind after all.
“I have butterflies in my stomach. I can’t eat or sleep. She’s all I can think about!”
He sighed. “Tomorrow I’m going to propose to her.
We’ll elope and move to a tropical island somewhere and live off the land like Tarzan
and Jane. ” he continued. Now he was getting carried away I thought
to myself. What a harebrained scheme. I didn’t have the heart to burst his bubble
though. “But what about the girl you fell in love
with last week? You were going to marry her, I thought. Don’t you love her anymore?”
I inquired. “Who, Carol?” he replied. “She’s yesterday’s
news. ” “How about Betty from 2 weeks ago?” I
asked. “Oh, Her…no, I could never be serious
about her”, he replied. Dave fall’s in love about three times a
month. So I take these episodes with a grain of salt.
That’s all for now. See you next time!
