Love Me Tinder!

Original Cartoon taken from GIZMO

This week I have been working on creating situational dialogues with my Hungarian chaps. We covered making an appointment to see the doctor, relaying symptoms to said doctor, what to say when stopped for speeding (an area of experience to which I could not contribute), and more.

Running out of subjects, I came upon the bright idea of tackling 'Dating'. Sammy, the youngest of the group, told us that he doesn't go out, but spends every evening in his apartment, watching TV.

"That won't do!", I protested. "A good-looking young man like you!  He IS good-looking, isn't he?", I appealed to his fellows who nodded in agreement as Sammy sunk deeper into his chair than usual. "Sammy Slouch" is my secret nickname for him. He's a good lad, though, and I decided it's time to find him a girlfriend.

I asked him if he uses Tinder, and he said no, he can't afford it.

"I'm sure you can use it for free", I persisted. I wasn't going to let him off that lightly.

"Let's check".

I called up Tinder on the large screen, hoping that one of their supervisors would not appear, making one of their surprise visits to check that everyone was in attendance.

To cut a long story short, I now have an account on Tinder (free), and Sammy is probably sitting at home watching the telly!
