basicHi! Are you Emily? I'm Wang. It's really nice to finally meet you in person!
嗨！你是 Emily 吗？我是王。终于见到真人了，太好了！

Yes, that's me! Great to meet you too, Wang. You look just like your photos — that's always a relief!
是我！很高兴见到你，王。你跟照片上长得一样——这就放心了！
Ha, I'll take that as a compliment! Have you been here before? I heard the Italian food is amazing.

Oh really? That's awesome! I'd love to show you some authentic recipes sometime. Maybe I could cook for you — my tomato egg stir-fry is legendary.
真的吗？太好了！改天教你几道正宗做法。也许我可以做给你吃——我的番茄炒蛋是一绝。
💡 约会时提出以后一起做某事（如做饭），既自然又暗示有兴趣继续交往。

intermediateThis was really fun. I had a great time tonight. Let me get the check.
今晚真的很开心。我来买单吧。
💡 在美国约会，谁买单没有固定规则。主动提出买单是有诚意的表现，但对方可能会提出AA。
Oh no, let's split it. I insist — you can get the next one!
不不，我们AA吧。我坚持——下次你请！
Deal! So there will be a next one? I'd really like to see you again.
成交！那是说还有下次？我真的很想再见到你。
Definitely! I had a really wonderful time. Maybe we could go hiking next weekend? There's a trail I've been wanting to try.

太好了！把具体信息发给我，我一定到。
I'll text you tomorrow with the plan. Oh, it's getting late — I should probably call an Uber.

Let me wait with you until it arrives. I want to make sure you get in safely.
我陪你等到车来吧。我要确认你安全上车。
💡 约会结束陪对方等车或确认安全到家，是很有礼貌和体贴的行为。
