PE 4/10 Playing Games on a First Date

What’s your deal, Kevin? You’re not listening to me, and your eyes have been glued to your phone all through dinner to boot. Is one of your friends in trouble?
* eyes are glued: paying close attention to something and ignoring everything else
ex> Jim’s eyes were glued to the game because the score was so close.
* to boot: in addition
ex> The salary offer they've made is very generous, and they've included a car to boot.
ex> Kerris is an excellent pupil, a star athlete, and an attractive girl to boot.

Trouble? Uh, no. It’s just that there’s this, uh, new game that I’m really into.
* be into: to have as a hobby or interest
= be crazy about; be obsessed with; really dig something
ex> All the boys in my son’s class are into an online game about mutant dinosaurs.

That does it. Don’t bother asking me out for a date until you've taken care of your problem. The ball is in your court. I’m leaving. Goodnight.
* That does it.: the final or deciding thing has been reached
ex> That does it. It took us three weeks, but the jigsaw puzzle is finally finished.
* ball is in one’s court: one has the responsibility or option to make the next move
ex> We revised our offer on the house, so the ball is in the seller’s court.
