easily taken in

Getting engaged is, for many people, a very serious step and one not easily taken in front of cameras, under competitive circumstances and after knowing their potential intended for a matter of weeks.

It may feel freeing, but I think if you've been experiencing the world for the last 20 years and the last 150 years, you could probably see that people can be very easily taken in by one big idea, and can do some wonderful things and some f**king awful things depending on how much weight they put on that idea.

I’m surprised to see a woman of the world such as yourself so easily taken in.

Time after time we witness Jimmy fall back on what he knows best about humanity: that we are gullible, greedy beasts easily taken in by deals too good to be true.

He is telling her now what he knows about me: that I am not easily taken in, that I had an oleander wall around me, and she is laughing because I am not going to be lonely any more.
