I didn't expect to be back on this app so soon after the first date.

So you're giving Tinder another chance.

What happened with the first guy?

It went well, but he writes too much and asks too many questions.

That sounds exhausting.

I prefer conversations that breathe a little.

Exactly.

I want to meet someone without planning every word in advance.

Then we already agree on something important.

Where are you right now?

I'm sitting in a cafe near the river, waiting for my coffee to cool down.

That place with the blue chairs.

I think I walked past it yesterday.

Yes, the one with the terrible music and excellent cake.

I know it.

Their cheesecake is dangerous.

I could eat two pieces alone.

One piece is enough for me, but I understand the temptation.

So tell me, why did you choose me from all those profiles?

Your photos were normal.

No gym mirrors, no fish, no sunglasses in the dark.

That's a low bar, but I'll take the compliment.

Also, you wrote that you like silence.

That caught my attention.

Most people think silence is boring.

I think it's comfortable.

I agree.

I talk a lot, but I also like sitting quietly with someone.

Then we can talk for an hour and be quiet for 10 minutes after.

That sounds like a perfect evening, honestly.

What do you do for work?

I repair bicycles in a small shop on the east side of the city.

That's interesting.

I didn't know people still repaired bicycles.

They do.

More and more.

People want to save money and stay healthy.

I ride a bike sometimes, but it's old and makes strange noises.

Bring it to me.

I'll listen to the noises and tell you what's wrong.

Is that your way of inviting me to a second date already?

Maybe.

I'm not good at hiding what I want.

Good.

I'm tired of men who play games and disappear for days.

I don't have the energy for games.

I'm 38, not 18.

We're almost the same age then.

I turned 36 in March.

So we're both old enough to know what we want.

That helps.

What do you want, exactly?

I'm curious now.

Someone to come home to.

Someone who asks about my day.

That's simple and honest.

I like that answer very much.

What about you?

What are you looking for on this app?

I felt lonely in my flat, so I decided to meet new people.

Loneliness is a strange thing.

It grows when you don't feed it.

That's a beautiful way to say it.

Did you read that somewhere?

No, I thought about it during a long winter two years ago.

What happened two years ago, if you want to talk about it?

My long relationship ended, and I didn't leave the house for weeks.

I'm sorry, that sounds painful.

Mine ended three years ago.

It gets easier, but the evenings are still the hardest part.

Yes, evenings.

That's when I started watching films alone.

Me too.

I watched an entire series about fishing, and I hate fishing.

That made me laugh.

I watched cooking shows and ordered pizza.

So we both survived the same way.

That's oddly comforting.

It is.

Now I feel less strange about my pizza evenings.

Do you still have pizza evenings, or has something changed?

Sometimes.

But I joined a book club, and that helped a lot.

A book club?

What are you reading this month?

A detective novel.

It's not serious literature, but it's fun.

I read mostly manuals and magazines.

My friends say I'm boring.

I don't think you're boring.

You repair bicycles and read manuals.

That's my whole personality in one sentence.

Should I be worried?

No, I prefer simple people.

Complicated people tire me out.

Then we should get along well.

I'm as simple as a wooden chair.

A wooden chair that listens to bicycle noises.

Very poetic.

Now you're making fun of me and we haven't even met yet.

I am, but gently.

When can we meet?

I'm free on Thursday.

Thursday works.

I finish work at 6, so maybe 7 in the evening.

7 is good.

Should we meet in the same café with the blue chairs?

Yes but I warn you I will probably order the cheesecake Then I order tea and watch you enjoy it That fine You very calm about this Aren you nervous at all A little My hands are cold and I keep checking my phone Mine too.

I dropped my keys twice while writing to you.

That makes me feel better.

I thought I was the only one.

Everyone is nervous on these apps.

They just hide it with jokes.

What's your usual joke when you're nervous?

I say something about the weather and then I go quiet.

That's not a joke.

That's just the weather.

I told you I'm simple.

My jokes are simple, too.

Okay, simple man.

Tell me one real thing about yourself.

I sing in the shower, and I'm terrible at it.

That's real.

Everyone sings in the shower.

That's not special at all.

Fine.

I also write short stories, but I never show them to anyone.

Now that is interesting.

Why don't you show them to anyone?

Because they're about my own life, and that feels too personal.

I understand.

I keep a diary, and nobody reads it either.

Maybe one day we can exchange them when we trust each other.

That would take a long time.

I don't trust people quickly.

Good.

Trust should be slow.

I don't like people who rush.

My friends say I'm too careful.

They think I should relax more.

Your friends sound like my friends.

They always have advice.

Do they tell you to find a wife and stop repairing bicycles?

Almost.

They tell me to stop working on Saturdays and go out.

And do you listen to them, or do you stay in the shop?

I stay in the shop, but lately I've been closing earlier.

Why lately?

Did something change in your life?

I decided that loneliness was my choice, and I wanted to change it.

That's exactly how I felt when I created my profile.

So we're both here for the same reason.

That's a good start.

It is, but I have to go now.

My coffee's cold and my cat is waiting.

Bruno, right?

The gray and demanding one?

You remembered his name.

That's a good sign for Thursday.

I remember important things.

See you on Thursday at 7.

See you then.

Don't be late and don't eat cheesecake before I arrive.

I promise nothing about the cheesecake, but I will be on time.

Good night, Oscar.

I'm glad I wrote to you first.

Good night, Maria.

I'm glad you did too.

每天都有新的对话和故事。提供21种字幕语言。

你可以使用我们网站上的互动播放器逐句练习所有这些对话。链接在描述中。

我没想到第一次约会后这么快就又回到这个应用上。

所以你是在给Tinder另一次机会。第一个男生怎么了？

进展顺利，但他写得太多了，还问太多问题。

那听起来很累人。我更喜欢能稍微喘口气的对话。

正是如此。我想认识一个人，而不用提前规划每一个字。

那我们已经在重要的事情上达成一致了。你现在在哪里？

我坐在河边的一家咖啡馆里，等我的咖啡凉下来。

就是那家有蓝色椅子的地方。我想我昨天路过过。

是的，就是那家音乐很糟糕但蛋糕很棒的地方。

我知道那家。他们的芝士蛋糕很危险。我一个人就能吃两块。

一块对我来说就够了，但我理解那种诱惑。

那么告诉我，你为什么从那么多资料中选了我？

你的照片很正常。没有健身房镜子，没有鱼，没有在黑暗中戴墨镜。

这标准真低，但我接受这个赞美。

而且，你写到你喜欢安静。那引起了我的注意。

大多数人觉得安静很无聊。我觉得它很舒服。

我同意。我话很多，但我也喜欢和某人安静地坐着。

那我们可以聊一个小时，然后安静10分钟。

说实话，那听起来像是一个完美的夜晚。你是做什么工作的？

我在城市东边的一家小店里修自行车。

那很有趣。我不知道人们还在修自行车。

他们修。越来越多。人们想省钱并保持健康。

我有时骑自行车，但它很旧，还会发出奇怪的声音。

把它带给我。我会听听那些声音，告诉你哪里出了问题。

这是你已经在邀请我第二次约会的方式吗？

也许吧。我不擅长隐藏我想要的东西。

很好。我厌倦了那些玩弄感情、消失好几天的男人。

我没有精力玩游戏。我38岁，不是18岁。

那我们年龄差不多。我三月份满36岁。

所以我们都足够大，知道自己想要什么。那有帮助。

你到底想要什么？我现在很好奇。

一个可以回家见到的人。一个会问我今天过得怎么样的人。

那简单又诚实。我非常喜欢这个回答。

你呢？你在这个应用上寻找什么？

我在公寓里感到孤独，所以我决定认识新的人。

孤独是一件奇怪的事。你不喂养它，它就会生长。

那是一种美丽的说法。你是在哪里读到的吗？

不，那是两年前一个漫长的冬天里我想出来的。

两年前发生了什么，如果你愿意说的话？

我长期的关系结束了，我好几个星期没出门。

我很抱歉，那听起来很痛苦。我的关系三年前结束的。

会变得容易些，但晚上仍然是最难熬的部分。

是的，晚上。那时我开始独自看电影。

我也是。我看了一整部关于钓鱼的剧，而我讨厌钓鱼。

那让我笑了。我看烹饪节目并点披萨。

所以我们都以同样的方式挺过来了。这莫名地令人安慰。

是的。现在我对我的披萨之夜感觉没那么奇怪了。

你还有披萨之夜吗，还是有什么改变了？

有时候。但我加入了一个读书俱乐部，那帮助很大。

读书俱乐部？你这个月在读什么？

一本侦探小说。它不是严肃文学，但很有趣。

我主要读手册和杂志。

我的朋友们说我无聊。

我不觉得你无聊。

你修自行车，还读手册。

那就是我全部的性格，一句话概括。

我应该担心吗？

不，我更喜欢简单的人。

复杂的人让我疲惫。

那我们应该会相处得很好。

我像一把木椅一样简单。

一把会听自行车声音的木椅。

非常诗意。

现在你在取笑我，而我们甚至还没见过面。

是的，但是轻轻地。

我们什么时候能见面？我周四有空。

周四可以。我6点下班，所以也许晚上7点。

7点很好。我们要在同一家有蓝色椅子的咖啡馆见面吗？

是的，但我警告你，我可能会点芝士蛋糕。然后我点茶，看着你享受。那很好。你对此很平静。你一点都不紧张吗？有一点。我的手很冷，我还一直看手机。

我也是。给你写信的时候我掉了两次钥匙。

那让我感觉好多了。我以为只有我这样。

每个人在这些应用上都会紧张。他们只是用笑话掩饰。

你紧张时通常讲什么笑话？

我会说些关于天气的话，然后就安静了。

那不是笑话。那只是天气。

我告诉过你我很简单。我的笑话也很简单。

好吧，简单先生。告诉我一件关于你自己的真实的事。

我在淋浴时唱歌，而且唱得很糟糕。那是真的。

每个人都在淋浴时唱歌。那一点都不特别。

好吧。我还写短篇故事，但我从不给任何人看。

那倒有趣。你为什么不给任何人看？

因为它们是关于我自己生活的，那感觉太私密了。

我理解。我写日记，也没有人读。

也许有一天，当我们彼此信任时，我们可以交换。

那需要很长时间。我不会很快信任别人。

很好。信任应该缓慢。我不喜欢匆忙的人。

我的朋友们说我太谨慎了。他们觉得我应该多放松。

你的朋友听起来像我的朋友。他们总是有建议。

他们告诉你要找个妻子，别再修自行车了吗？

差不多。他们告诉我周六别工作，出去走走。

那你听他们的，还是留在店里？

我留在店里，但最近我关得更早了。

为什么最近？你的生活有什么变化吗？

我决定孤独是我的选择，而我想改变它。

那正是我创建个人资料时的感受。

所以我们都是因为同样的原因在这里。那是个好的开始。

是的，但我现在得走了。我的咖啡凉了，我的猫在等我。

布鲁诺，对吧？那只灰色的、要求很高的？

你记得他的名字。这对周四来说是个好兆头。

我记得重要的事情。周四7点见。

到时见。别迟到，也别在我到之前吃芝士蛋糕。

关于芝士蛋糕我什么都不能保证，但我会准时。

晚安，奥斯卡。我很高兴我先给你写了信。

晚安，玛丽亚。我也很高兴你写了。
