Sample Sentences
你呢,时而对她献殷勤,帮她买买早餐,制造点小浪漫,时而对她不理不睬,等到哪天她想跟你聊天的时候,你就要回不回的。
So what you've got to do is, be really attentive to her sometimes, like buying her breakfast and creating a little bit of romance, and then ignore her completely at other times, until the day she wants to chat to you and then act like you're reluctant to talk to her.
