TO ACHE FOR SOMETHING / SOMEONE


Sally is into a guy she met some weeks ago at a disco. She is talking to Betty about him:


BETTY: So, what does he look like?
SALLY: He's tall and well-built. He has short dark hair and blue eyes. He's so cute!
BETTY: He seems to be a good catch.
SALLY: And I can't stop thinking of him! I don't know how to make him ache for me.
BETTY: Oh no! You are in love with this guy.
SALLY: Stop it! I'm not!
BETTY: So why do your eyes shine with delight when you talk about him?

If you ACHE FOR something or someone, it means that you want it or you want this person very much.


How about you? Are you aching for love?
