hi everybody welcome back to top words
my name is Alisha and today we're going
to talk about ten words and phrases for
dating and romantic relationships let's
go like the first word is like like the
verb like we use like when we initially
develop feelings for someone so we can
say like I really like the girl in my
class so I really like the boy in my
class for example so like is like the
first feelings the first feelings of
like simple attraction to like someone
this is a word that's used a lot by
children like junior high school or
maybe high school-aged kids and you can
also use it in adult relationships as
well like at those first stages of a
relationship like I really like you
for example so using like can express
something a little bit stronger a little
bit more romantic if you use it in that
way in a sentence I really like him have
a crush on the next word is have a crush
on someone to have a crush on someone so
to have a crush on someone this is
usually used by like teenagers it's kind
of a young people word so to have a
crush on someone means you have a really
strong attraction to someone but maybe
you don't know them very well yet or you
haven't had a chance to speak with them
a lot yet so this is something like if
you regularly see someone like at your
workplace or I like another event or at
school and maybe you think they're
physically really attractive or maybe
you've heard them speaking before and
you think they're attractive there's
something about them that really really
strongly interests you but maybe you
don't know them very well yet you can
say I have a crush on that person like I
have a crush on him or I have a crush on
her like you don't really know them so
well but you really really are
interested in them that's called a crush
a crush in a sentence do you have a
crush on your co-worker love the next
word is love love so
at least in American English we tend to
use in more serious situation so it's
beyond a crush it's beyond like love is
a more serious word that we use usually
when we have known someone for a long
time or we have just like this very very
strong and deep attraction to a person
so we can say I love you or like do you
love me that kind of thing we can say
that but it has kind of like a serious
implication there's a very serious sort
of mmm nuance behind the word love so
love is stronger than like or crush and
it has like a serious feeling about it
we can also use the word love for our
friends and our family members too but
the same nuance of like a strong and
serious connection remains when you use
it with your friends and your family
members though it doesn't mean
romantically it just means you have a
like that very close bond with that
person like I love you guys for example
with your friends there's a very common
phrase but saying I love you to your
partner is quite strong so please use
this phrase with caution and care uh in
a sentence I think you should tell her
you love her date the next word is date
date so to date someone means that you
meet someone regularly in like a
romantic way so traditionally like dates
could be like dinner and a movie or
going out for coffee together or
enjoying dinner together going to the
park or the beach or maybe traveling
somewhere so a date is time with only
the two of you to get to know each other
and to get to know each other more
romantically so we can use the word date
a little bit loosely if I say for
example I'm going on a date with my
girlfriends today girlfriends in the
plural it means I'm going out for a fun
a fun afternoon maybe or a fun evening
with the women in my life who are
closest to me very close to me my
girlfriends so my close girlfriends so
we can use the word date for friends as
well but if you say like I'm going on a
date with my boyfriend or I'm going on a
date with my wife it sounds like
intimate time for the two of you to be
together a date a date
can be used as a noun and we can use it
as a verb like how long have you been
dating in a sentence we've been dating
for about six months
see the next word is si si this is an
important word at least in American
English because it means to be in a
relationship with someone we use the
word C in the same way that we use the
word date like I've been seeing this guy
for six months or are you seeing anyone
or I'm thinking about seeing someone new
so see in this way means like to spend
time with romantically like going on
dates with a person so if you hear
someone use C in this way about a person
it means like a romantic relationship
with that person in a sentence are you
seeing anyone
exclusive the next word is exclusive
exclusive so exclusive depending on the
relationship and depending on how you
know that person exclusive means you are
only seeing that person so perhaps when
a relationship is not so serious maybe
at the beginning stages maybe you you or
your partner perhaps might have I don't
know someone else in their life that
they're thinking of maybe dating
seriously or maybe there are a couple of
other people that you might be thinking
hmm I could see myself spending time
with that person seriously but again
every relationship is different I don't
know but some people might use the word
exclusive to mean I only want to see
this person and I want this person to
only see me like to be exclusive means
like these two people only see each
other they are exclusive to each other
essentially some people have exclusive
relationships some the opposite then of
an exclusive relationship could be an
open relationship some people agree to
have an open relationship where their
partners can see other people I don't
know there are many people in the world
break up the next word is break up break
up to break up means to end a
relationship so we use break up before
marriage if a couple is just dating
they're just seeing each other and they
decide to finish the relationship they
decide to stop seeing each other
we use the word breakup to describe that
so like I broke up with my boyfriend
last night or like don't break up with
me or I think we should break up these
are all words these are all expressions
that we use with regard to ending a
relationship ending a relationship is
called breaking up in a sentence I think
we should break up
propose the next word is proposed
to propose so to propose if a
relationship is continuing well and
everything is great presumably or I
don't know for any number of reasons the
couple decides they would like to get
married we use the verb to propose which
is like a short a short way of saying to
propose marriage
so to propose means like to set out an
idea to give someone an idea for
something so traditionally this comes
from the man like the man will propose
to the woman in the relationship though
I've heard of cases where women propose
to men as well so to propose means to
suggest marriage to the other person to
propose in a sentence what do you think
is the best way to propose cheat cheat
cheat so two cheats is a word we use
this is typically for like exclusive
relationships but to cheat means one
partner or perhaps both partners see or
date or spend time with another romantic
partner when they are not supposed to
so if person a and person B are in an
exclusive relationship and person B
meets someone else romantically that's
called cheating they are cheating so
it's typically considered a negative
thing in most cultures cheating is
typically bad in a sentence my roommate
was cheating on her boyfriend marry the
last word the next word is marry marry
so to marry or you might also hear to
get married we use both of these to
refer to that ceremony where the couple
decides they're going to spend forever
together and
legally they become a family so please
be careful
we don't say get married with someone
sometimes I hear students say this we
don't say I want to get married with or
my brother got married with we use the
preposition to so my brother got married
to his high-school girlfriend that's
true or what kind of person do you want
to marry I want to marry a kind person
so please be careful when you use the
verb marry just marry no get married
like I want to marry someone I want I
don't want to marry someone we're
probably going to follow the verb marry
with a person or a kind of person if
we're saying I want to get married we'll
follow it with to the preposition to and
then the extra information so I want to
get married to a certain kind of person
you can also describe the location of
like a wedding like I want to get
married in a church I want to get
married on the beach so keep in mind
there's some variation there are many
different ways we can use marry and get
married
um but those are just a couple points in
a sentence
my friend has finally decided to marry
his longtime girlfriend so those are 10
words for dating and romantic
