Girl: Lily! Guess what? I have a surprise for you.
Lily: What is it?
Girl: Well, I know you’ve been single for a while so tonight I invited my friend Matt.
Lily: But I…
Girl: Shh, listen. He is perfect for you. He’s 25, tall, dark hair and he’s an actor.
Lily: He’s an actor? Oh damn it, you know I‘m a sucker for actors.
Girl: I know!
Lily: Okay but what about his personality? Do we like the same things? Do we have the same interests? Because you know that’s really important to-
Girl: Shut up, here he comes. Hey Matt, this is Lily. Lily, Matt. Oh, look at that, I’m getting a phone call. You guys talk, get to know each other. Excuse me…
Lily: Hi.
Matt: Hey.
Lily: So, uhm, Matt. What- What do you like to do in your free time?
Matt: Oh I love watching TV, in fact there’s this new true crime show I‘m totally hooked on. It’s called Till Death do Us Part. Have you watched it?

Matt: Oh, then what do you like to do?
Lily: Well, I‘m really into fitness, so I like working out, going on hikes.
Matt: Ugh, yeah, well… that‘s not really my cup of tea. Matt: Uhm, what about food! Do you like food?
Lily: Yeah, yeah, I do! You too?
Matt: Yeah, of course. There’s nothing better than a good ol’ steak.
Lily: Oh, I’m – I’m vegan.
Oh, okay.
Lily: Yeah, I love animals, I have three cats.
Matt: You do?
Lily: Yeah! You like cats?
Matt: Ehhm… I don’t really care for cats, no. I prefer dogs…
Lily: Oh.
Girl: How’s it going over here? Have you fallen in love yet?
[awkward laughs].
I knew you’d be perfect for each other! Come on, let’s go eat so we can start planning your wedding!
Hi Lara,
Welcome back, keep going; I liked the “Be hooked on” sometimes I hooked on something, but after a while, I am losing my desire; ok very good to see you again good luck
have a nice day,
Hey Khaled! Me too! I go through periods where I’m obsessed with something and then I get tired of it! 😋 P.S. Remember in this case ‘hooked’ is an adjective, so you always need the verb ‘to be/get’ so “sometimes I am/get hooked on…” 😘
