【英语时差8,16】首次约会-下

Generally in the past just go out for a few drinks then see what's up. I don’t like anything too obvious or structured or whatever. I quite like cinemas, which is quite rubbish, but they’re quiet so if you don’t get on with the person you can just watch the film and focus. Normally¹ we would probably just meet up somewhere informal, maybe a bar or a cafe. And then you would hope things are going well and move on to a restaurant and then we’ll see from there. Um, maybe the beach would be nice.Yeah. The beach having a picnic. Finn: Hi… Jean: Should I have worn my hair up or down? Finn: Jean… Just relax. I'm sure it looks lovely. How about this, you're not alone in worrying if you wore the right thing for your first date. Listen to these people. I’d spend hours thinking about how I could look effortless. Yeah, I’d try to look good for a first date you want to make a good impression. There’d be a bit of vanity² standing³ in front of the mirror doing the hair that kind of thing but I’m not going to overthink it. I’m 32, so I’ve been on a lot of dates in my life so I think I’ve got it down now. I don’t need to think about it too much. No I wouldn’t I would probably be late, just put on some jeans or something and run out. I’d make sure I had some make up on.
