Dear Teachers,

1. You�re setting yourself up for disappointment with the phone calls and the cam-viewing.
- What does �set yourself up� mean here?

2. Does �heads up!� mean �watch out!� or �look out!�?
3. I think you�ve really fallen for him.
- This means � I think you�ve really been into him / You�ve really liked him�, right?

4. People say that she�s obsessed with him, but she is not.
- I think �she�s obsessed by him� is better, right?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Stevenukd

1. Putting yourself in a situation, leaving yourself open to...

2. Yes.

3. It means, I think you've really fallen in love with him.

4. No. We usually say someone is obsessed with someone. I think you cannot say obsessed by him is wrong, though.
