1. He is not very photogenic. He has *deep* or *dark* eye sockets. He looks like he has black eyes in most photos.

2. Not only you, but him *is* or *are* fun.
Which one is correct?

3.A promise ring=an engagement ring?

4. I wear my heart out on my sleeves=I show how I feel?

Thanks

1. I think deep sounds better. That sentence could be considered rude, so you should be careful when using it.

2. Not sure what you're trying to say. I think you mean...
Not only you, but HE is ALSO fun.

3. A promise ring is just a gift from a boyfriend that means the giver wants to commit to a serious relationship with the other person.

4. It means you display your emotions openly for all to see. You don't hold back.

Thanks for the explanation.
I made up the first sentence, because I couldn't think of a better one.
