Having no woman in your mind does not necessarily mean "No interests in women", I believe …^&^ Many thanks for your continuous attention to E-club postings.
I am impressed with the level of English in this cafe. When it comes to reading the room, isn't it used in a group setting more than individual setting?
As you mentioned, the idiom is more useful and applicable when in a group gathering. Anyhow, it looks like that you’re a newcomer to this E-club room and good at English. It’s an honor to have you with us here and welcome you!! And your nickname sounds very romantic. I believe your showing up is a signal that warm Spring comes soon …^&^
That's a good expression~~ Words represent the person's personality. There is a good way to know how much we intercept other's words, whether we use a lot of negative or positive language, or whether we speak with consideration for others.
The phone has a function of recording calls. Listen to it again!! Then we can know our speaking style. Let's communicate well and be happy together ~
Sure… the words represent one’s personality. We often say the reason why we have two ears but a single mouth is for "Speak less but hear much" Words don’t come easy…^&^ https://youtu.be/IeAGKJpDfqg
Ummmm....That's too bad. To get away from possible memory blackout, modereate drinking "처음처럼" is the best, instead of drinking a cup of coffee... Believe it or not ...^&^
첫댓글 If you have a girl in your mind, please read the room first before getting to her.
I don't have a woman in mind. ㅎㅎ
But I should read room of this engl room well
and be carefull.

@이젠백 Yes, E club is better than E room.

@이젠백 Wow, it's my favorite song ~^^
@이젠백 What a nice music..^^
When I go to a strange meeting, I need to know the essence of that meeting..
So I must read the room first..
In my case, I most likely try to break the room,
not to read the room first...^&^
I try to read the room ~~^^, ..
You do not need to try to read the room,
since you've already got to a master's level
whatever room you may be in...^^
I want to say something fresh using that idiom,
but I can't.
It's because my brain is black out.
Alas, It's better to drink a cup of coffee.ㅜ.ㅜ
Ummmm....That's too bad.

modereate drinking "처음처럼" is the best,

@이젠백 ㅍㅎㅎ 😆
That's your secret way ..
@이젠백
Aha, there is a way like that.
You must be a genius. haha
@이젠백 ㅎㅎ
Yup. the Ssoju can be a cure-all medicine and elixir from time to time.
I do believe. .
@해뜰 In due time ... ^&^
