Making Out in English - Richard Crownover
Preface
More and more Japanese are going abroad for pleasure, study, and work, where they meet people and develop a variety of relationships that range from casual to intimate.
Most of these overseas travelers speak English well enough to communicate about basic things. However, they generally have not had the opportunity to learn the special expressions and ways of speaking that are common among teenagers and adults in Western countries.
This book contains dialogues and vocabulary that involve men and women initiating, and already in, intimate relationships, as well as casual office chatter.
Making out,
used in the title of this book, is a colloquialism that can mean engaging in sexual intercourse, engaging in activity such as touching and kissing that may lead to sexual intercourse, going through the early stages of developing a relationship, as well as engaging in other activities that are going well, such as looking for a job.
The phrase is most commonly used in its references to male-female relationships, and when used in such sentences as did you make out with him / her?
it generally means did you have sex with him / her.
It may, however, mean did you engage in petting
—which refers to kissing and fondling.
Many of the intimate conversations among pairs and groups of young men and women involve talk about making out,
who is making out with whom, and who one would like to make out with. Older people, especially those who are still single, also use the phrase.
Married men and women as well use the phrase when referring to having intimate relationships with someone else, and when hitting
on someone else—that is, trying to initiate an intimate relationship with someone by courting
them with sweet words,
gifts, and entertainment, etc.
Knowing the most effective vocabulary, and being able to express one’s self in interesting and clever ways, are very important in making out in love as well as in other relationships, including business.
Richard Crownover
Making new friends is a very informal and casual thing in most countries around the world. When you are in an informal situation, such as on a school campus, in a bar or club, or at some kind of public event, and see someone you would like to meet, who is alone or not accompanied by a member of the opposite sex, it is common to simply walk up to the person and start a conversation. Of course, this approach may not result in you making a new friend, but if you do it politely and diplomatically it won’t hurt to try, and you may be lucky…
[$ indicates a male speaking;! indicates a female. The rest of the dialogues may be used by both male and female.]
Hello!
Good morning!
Good afternoon!
Good evening!
I / we would very much like to meet you…! Are you here alone?
Are you here by yourselves?

May we introduce ourselves?
May I introduce my friend?
Please introduce me to your friend.
I’m / we’re new here.
I / we just arrived from Japan.
I’m / we’re very pleased to meet you.
I / we are new students.
I / we have been assigned here by my / our company.

And this is…
