💔🥀 Bad Dates 1: Mobile phone addict - English language for dating

Hi, hi are you Daniel?

I am Daniel, are you..

Hi, I'm Claudia. Nice to meet you.

Lovely to meet you.

I love your hair. Oh thanks!

That's gorgeous.

She was quirky, you know.

A really brilliant sense of style.

She seemed very elegant, she was bubbly.

You know, really my kind of person, I think.

Have you come far?

Erm, no no, erm well I was on the Tube for

a bit but it was quite good cos I've erm,

Yeah I've just been kind of doing stuff online and...

my battery's actually quite low you don't

have a charger with you, do you?

I actually don't, no.

Okay, I might see if they've got one

behind the bar here.

I wouldn't say that.

She was on her phone a lot.

And I'm not really that technologically minded,

you know?

So I felt a little bit like she didn't care about me.

She cared little bit more about her friends.

You've been working today, right?

That's right. I work in advertising.

Cool.

Yeah, lots of stuff on the web that kind of thing.

Yeah, nice, nice. Anything, any campaigns I'd know about?

Ooh, I don't know about that.

Er, we've got various clients, but it's boring.

Let's not talk about work.

What are you, what are you up to? You're just on...

You got a text?

Sorry, I've just, I'm just checking something,

Yeah.

Yeah.

Erm...

Well actually, I tell you what,

I'm just gonna put my phone on silent.

I don't like phones, they just bother.

You know what I mean?

I don't, I couldn't do that.

I would just get too out of the loop.

I would, I'd have to spend I don't know

how long just catching up if I did that.

I'd really appreciate it.

So, yeah...

So yeah, what is it that you do?

Oh I told you remember?

Oh what, when we were texting? Or...

Oh no, just a few seconds ago.

I mean you, you were texting.

Maybe you weren't listening.

Did you say advertising?

Yeah.

Yeah, that rings a bell. Yeah, yeah.

Sorry, you'll get to know this about me.

Yeah

They got worse.

There were phone calls, texts,

she was sharing everything.

I couldn't eat my meal

because she took a photo of it before...

before I could even take a bite.

Ooh, like no don't, don't, err thank you,

but like yeah. Just don't, erm.

Don't eat that just yet.

Just I want to...

Oh please I'm really hungry.

Ha ha

No don't take a photo

No, no

Oh no, I've moved it out of place.

No, no listen.

Move your like cutlery and that out of the way.

Just let me take this photo

cos it'll look really cute, and then I can post it

and like tag this place.

I'll tell you what, I'm, I'll pop to the toilet.

You don't need to do that!

You can take your photos. When I come back,

we'll put phones away.

I'm done. I'm done. Look it's cool.

Go to the loo though, that's fine.

I've got some stuff I can catch up with.

Would you mind just putting your phone away?

Claudia?

Claudia?

There will not be a second date.
