Jenny just downloaded the dating app. She is talking to her friends about how to use a dating app.
- Sally : What are you doing?
何しているの? - Jenny : Okaaay, that's it. Just one more thing left to do. Smile! (She takes a photo of Sally and uploads it as her profile picture) Good. We're all set. It shows tons of guys that suit your preference so you just swipe right if you like them.
オッケー、できた。あっ、もう一つやらなきゃ。笑って!いい感じ。(アプリの設定は)出来たよ。タイプ(or好み)の人が表示されるから、気に入った人がいたら右にスワイプして。 - Allie : Have you ever had a relationship with someone from the app?
アプリで出会った人と付き合ったことある? - Jenny : Sure. I used to go out with this guy that I met on the app for more than 3 months.
勿論。三ヵ月以上付き合った人がいるよ。 - Allie : Only 3 months?
たった三ヵ月? - Jenny : Yes. Well, he probably wanted us to stay together forever, but I just couldn't. He was nice, but too serious.
うん。あー、彼はずっと付き合っていたかったみたいだけど、私が無理だった。いい人だったけど、真面目過ぎたんだんよね。 - Sally : I see. You're interested in something casual, aren't you?
そっか。ジェニーは、軽い付き合いがいいんだもんね? - Jenny : Yes. I thought most guys only want to hook up for one night, but the number of those who are interested in something serious is higher than I expected.
そう。大抵の男性はワンナイト目当てだと思っていたけど、思っていた以上に真剣な付き合いを求めている人が多いの。 - Allie : Have you even had any trouble with the app or the guys?
今まで、変な人はいなかった? - Jenny : No, I've never met a weird person. Although there are some guys who are not as hot as their photos...
ううん。いなかったよ。写真ほど格好良くない人はいたけど… - Sally : I see. I'll give it a try. Thank you.
そうなんだ。やってみるね。ありがとう。
