2. he’s into sports, loves watching movies, and can cook up a killer meal:
(1) In English, when you wanna give examples one by one, you can raise your intonation slightly higher after a sentence, clause, or phrase is finished and you wanna go on the other. Like the sentence here: he’s into sports, loves watching movies, and can cook up a killer meal

I think being a capable matchmaker is that you have to know your strengths and weaknesses of your friend, and try to highlight the strengths. And so it’s important to find connections between your friend and his/her crush during the conversation with that person. But to be honest, I am a rookie in terms of this.

I am Mia and don’t forget to share your recording with us.
