恋愛と友情の境界
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello, hello.
Hello.
This one.
Oh, we have to do a shout out because we forgot to do one last week.
Okay.
Two in a row, but we got to do it.
Yep.
All right.
On Amazon Music, we are doing a show called Kevin's English Room Podcast Plus.
Yep.
It's a five-minute spinoff version of this show,
where we answer English questions we get from our listeners.
Yeah.
And they're really interesting questions.
For example, what we had last time was,
what's the difference between put on your clothes and put your clothes on?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hmm, interesting.
Big difference to me.
For you.
Yes.
But for me, it was very different.
That's interesting.
Right.
And these quick fun English questions, hopefully educational.
You get to listen to them for free.
You don't have to have a paid account.
Just log in with your free account, Amazon account, and then start enjoying the show.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
Great.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay.
So, this one then.
Pick this one.
Ah, okay.
This one then.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Wow.
Okay.
What the hell?
What was that?
I didn't understand the roller coaster that he was in.
So, he used to like her?
Yeah.
But now he's not.
But he's now wanting to like her?
Think so.
Oh.
He's now in the same high school.
Mm-hmm.
So, maybe in a different middle school, maybe?
Oh.
But I'm not sure.
But in the middle school, they didn't have so many like points.
Yeah.
But now they're in the same high school.
So, they were like, oh, they're in the same high school.
And maybe in the same train every morning, maybe?
And then he's feeling like now kind of, you know, reheat the fire of love.
I would, if that was me, I would definitely go for it.
Yeah.
But he's saying that he's not sure if it's the love or something else, like friendship.
Oh, it doesn't matter.
I think you should go for it.
I mean, if you're interested, for me, if you're interested, I would go for it, see how that goes.
Yeah.
You know?
Because you're still first year of high school, no?
Yeah.
That's so, you have so much in front of you to experience.
Like, if you were in your, I guess, like, you know, I don't know, 30s or something,
that might be a different answer.
But, you know, high school.
Yeah.
I think you should go for it.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, if you guys are in going to the same high school, it's, I guess, I mean,
I don't care if it's like friend or lover, but you just become friends, first of all,
and then kind of team together, you know?
Yeah.
You guys are from the same, you know, I don't know, kindergarten or somewhere, and you're
just going to the same high school, you guys have, like, bond in between you two, so just
恋愛アプローチのスタイル
team, tag up.
Sure.
Are you the type of person that becomes the girl's friend first, and then get together,
know each other, and then become, you know, maybe girlfriends?
Or are you like me, where I go full on to be a boyfriend?
Like, I don't take the let's be friends zone, I just go directly into, hey, I'm interested
in you as being your boyfriend.
Oh.
Okay.
That's a good question.
I've never thought about that.
No.
But I feel like I, so at least in my mind, same as you, there's no time, there's no
period that I want to be friends first, and then just become a lover, nothing like that.
I'm just like, from the beginning, I feel like, oh, just, it's the love.
Yeah.
But it depends on the situation, or, like, the person, or everything.
I maybe pretend that I...
Okay, so you're playing chess.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying that, but...
Yeah, maybe this, oh, yeah, I don't have any...
No, I just become friends, and like...
Yeah.
Yeah, I started going close, and then just, yeah.
Sometimes I do, yeah.
Okay, okay.
But in me, inside of me, from the beginning, it's...
You'd want to be the boyfriend.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's really rare that friend turns into the love feeling.
Oh, so like from the get, if you're like, if you categorize, if you friend zone somebody,
it'll never be modern friend zone.
I don't say never, but it's really difficult.
Rather rare.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
So, anyway, go for it.
公共の場でのコミュニケーション
I would definitely go for it, yeah.
Just, just, just...
DM her.
Yeah.
I mean, talk to her if you're in the same train.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
Is that, for me, I think that's a little bit too dangerous.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Not in the trains, though.
At least in the classroom.
Okay, okay.
Do it in the classroom.
Train's just a little too, just, it's too irregular.
Irregular?
Yeah.
There are so many, like, she might not be, like, in the mood to talk to anybody.
Ah, okay.
In the trains, you know.
At least in classrooms, like, you're more social in classrooms.
Okay, okay.
I kind of understand that.
Like, I'm, for me, I'm kind of like in the half off mode.
Okay.
In the trains.
Like, I'm not ready to socialize fully.
Okay.
Yeah, I get it.
If the girl is, like, listening to something and, like, reading books or anything.
Yeah.
I think I'm not going to talk to her.
Yeah.
What about, like, when you get off the train and you walk, I would say, 10 minutes from
the station to the high school?
What about that?
I would love to start having conversation and, like, go to school together.
And that's already, like, boyfriend-girlfriend thing, no?
I think...
アプローチの重要性
You don't do that?
For me, that's a little bit too risky to do.
Okay, okay, okay.
Because that would make the future a little bit awkward.
I see.
You know, a little bit awkward.
I would have to, like, sort of get the grasp of how interested she is in me in a timing
where you can stop engaging in the conversation quickly.
I see, yeah.
Because if it's the whole way to the school, it would just be...
You're locked in.
Yeah.
You're locked in for 10 minutes and just...
I...
That just seems too...
It's too much.
Too much?
Yeah, being locked in for 10 minutes is too much.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
I see.
And you're forcing it.
You're forcing her to be locked in it for 10 minutes, so...
That's right.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay, okay.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
I get it.
Yeah.
I get it, though, yeah.
So, maybe in the classroom, maybe.
Or if you do my way, just go during the walking way and say hi.
Sure.
Or whatever.
But in any way, just go for it, right?
Yeah, I would.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
In any steps.
Yeah.
I feel like ultimately the methods don't matter.
Yeah.
You know, ultimately it's going to end up the same thing.
Whether, you know...
I don't think how you approach her is going to change how she feels about you, you know?
Yeah.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Could be, yeah.
Yeah.
True, true.
Because you yourself doesn't change.
Right, right.
Maybe if you're going to take the let's be friends first approach, then that might change.
But, like, it's always been for me, like, I've always sort of like,
hey, like, I'm interested in you romantically.
Yeah.
Like, let's see how we're going to do.
So for me, it never changed.
Like, how I approach shit isn't going to, like, if she's not interested in me from the get,
no matter how I approach her, well, it's not going to change the outcome.
I see, I see.
Yeah, it wasn't, yeah.
So the method wasn't that important for me.
True.
Yeah.
Oh, I sometimes, you know, do the chest, as you said.
So sometimes I feel like, yeah, or like little, you know, things true, you know.
Yeah.
And I sometimes feel like, oh, I made a mistake.
And I gave her something like a really terrible first impression, for example.
Oh, really?
Okay.
And that gives forever.
And then, oh, I made a wrong decision.
And it's, oh, that was a mistake.
And sometimes that happens to me.
Okay.
So you have, yeah.
If you're playing chess, you have to, I guess you're more careful with the moves.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, but you're right.
Ultimately, if you're the same, then it's the same.
Yeah, right, right.
Go for that.
Yeah, good luck.

You have three years in high school.
That's right.
You got three years in high school.
And I bet you you're going to meet somebody else you're going to be interested in.
Yes.
And don't mess up with this girl because it's going to be three years.
That's true, that's true.
Yeah, don't do anything stupid like sending your dick pic to her.
Don't do that.
Yeah, don't do those things.
Yeah, that's so stupid.
Yeah.
Don't do that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's going to be, you know.
It's going to spread around the school.
