*Say:*	How’s your own love life? Cén chaoi a bhfuil cúrsaí grá leat féin?
*Martina:*	Cuibheasach. Tá a fhios agat an fear sin ar bhuail mé leis an mhí seo caite? Middling. You know that man I met last month?
*Say:*	Tony? Tony?
*Martina:*	Is ea. Tá sé ag cur téacsanna chugam gan stop. Yes. He’s constantly sending me texts.
*Say:*	And? Agus?
*Martina:*	Níl mórán suime agam ann – tá sé cineál leadránach. I haven’t much interest in him - he’s kind of boring.
*Say:*	But he’s a nice man. Ach is fear deas é.
*Martina:*	Tá sé cineál dáiríre freisin. Chuir sé na téacsanna seo chugam aréir: “Tá mé go mór i ngrá leat, a stór.”; “Bím ag smaoineamh ort gan stop.”; “Is tú grá geal mo chroí.” He’s kind of serious as well. He sent me these texts last night: “I’m deeply in love with you, darling.”; “I’m always thinking of you.”; “You’re my sweetheart.”
*Say:*	The poor man. He’s obviously head over heels in love with you. But wait until he gets to know you better! An fear bocht. Is léir go bhfuil sé dúnta i ngrá leat. Ach fan go gcuirfidh sé aithne mhaith ort!
