英语口语900句 14.01.对话.3.情人闹矛盾

Shawn,we have to talk.

About what?

About us.

There is nothing wrong with us. We are doing just fine.

Let's be serious. We have been dating for 6 months now,and I really like you.

But?

But you are not dedicated¹ to this relationship. You see it as casual dating.

How should I see it?

I don't want to be like this. I think we should take the next step.

Is it time already? It's only been 6 months. Our relationship hasn't had a chance to mature yet. There are still some hurdles³ we have to jump over.

Like what?

Last week I saw you leting Brian kiss you.

It was only on the cheek.

So that's OK then? It starts the cheek and pretty soon you're French kissing in the back of his car.

Oh,that's ridiculous!

So It's OK. Then I can kiss another woman on the cheek?

Definitely not.

You see! We still have a hurdle².
