NIGHTCAP
Dear Teachers,
1. Last night he said goodbye to me, and that hurt me to the core.
- What does "hurt me to the core" mean?
2. You apologized to him, and went out of your way to send a gift?
-"go out of one's way" means "give in", right?
3. He feels you out for the rejection factor as he gets his nerve up to ask you out.
- "He feels you out for the rejection factor" means "He feels that you don't reject him", right?
4. He gets dibs on you early on.
- What does "he gets dibs on you" mean?
5. He will ask if you'd like to have dinner or a nightcap. He can't get enough of you.
- What does "he can't get enough of you" mean?
Thanks a lot to Teachers,
Stevenukd.
