Dating will give you a real insiders view of your travel destination!
Hitting the streets of a new city, meeting locals, and striking up a spark with someone is a fantastic introduction to life
and love in a foreign country. Your social life abroad will be an important part of your Spanish language immersion .
Sure, it can be fun to use movies, podcasts, and social media to learn Spanish, but non of that can beat real
conversations with native speakers. While youre out on the town, take these words and phrases for a spin to improve
your language skills and impress your date with your fluency!
Can I buy you a drink? Te invito a tomar algo? (teh een-vee-toh ah toh-mahr ahl-goh)
Would you like to go out with me? Quisieras salir conmigo? (kee-see-eh-rahs sah-leer kohn-mee-goh)
In Spanish, you literally say, I invite you to whatever it is that youre footing the bill for. Its a much friendlier and less
financially-focused way to offer, in my opinion. Throw in a dont worry about it, no te preocupes (noh teh preh-
oh-coo-pehs) for an added touch of coolness.
Want to check in on your date and be sure theyre having a good time? No matter how nervous and tongue-tied you
might feel, it doesnt require much courage to simply ask:
Are you having a good time? Te ests disfrutando? (teh ehs-tahs dees-froo-tahn-doh)
Do you like this music? Te gusta esta msica? (teh goos-tah ehs-tah moo-see-kah)
Great, theyre digging the music and the atmosphere, all is well. The mood is right to invite them out onto the dance
floor.
If there is too much noise to communicate well, just scream Lets dance! Bailemos! (bai-leh-mohs) into their ear
as loudly as possible. If all else fails you can just do a wild charades-style imitation of a dance to get the message
across.
When the packed room, body heat and booming speakers become insufferable, invite your date outside:
Lets go outside for some fresh air Vamos afuera a tomar aire fresco (vah-mohs ah-fweh-rah ah toh-mahr ay-reh
frehs-coh)
A few minutes alone outside gives you both a chance to catch your breath, chat, flirt coquetear (coh-keh-teh-ahr)
and decide the fate of the evening. When youre both ready to move on to the next venue, you can suggest:
If you need to excuse yourself for a moment to answer your phone, use the bathroom, or question your decisions in
life, let them know:
How many brothers and sisters do you have? - Cuntos hermanos tienes? (koo-ahn-tohs ehr-mah-nohs tee-eh-
nehs).
The way Spanish gender agreement works, we lump male and female siblings together underneath the male ending.
Bonus advice: the first date is not a good place to jump into a feminist rant on the complex politics and prejudice of
language.
What type of food do you like to eat? Qu tipo de comida te gusta comer? (keh tee-poh deh koh-mee-dah teh
goos-tah koh-mehr)
What type of music do you listen to? - Qu tipo de msica escuchas? (keh tee-poh deh moo-see-kah ehs-koo-
chas)
Flirting in Spanish
The mood is right and you want to let your date know youre feeling the good vibes. Use some of these nice
compliments to boost their date-satisfaction levels off the charts!
You look beautiful / handsome tonight - Te ves hermosa / guapo esta noche (teh vehs ehr-moh-sah/wah-poh ehs-
tah noh-che)
Ive been thinking about you - He estado pensando en ti (eh eh-stah-doh pen-sahn-doh ehn tee)
I cant wait to see you - No puedo esperar para volver a verte! (noh pwey-doh ehs-peh-rahr pah-rah vohl-vehr ah
vehr teh)
I have a boyfriend/girlfriend Tengo un novio / una novia (tehn-goh oon noh-vee-oh / oo-nah noh-vee-ah)
I want to take things slow - Quiero tomar las cosas con calma (kyeh-roh toh-mahr lahs koh-sahs kohn kahl-mah).
Im not looking for a relationship - No quiero nada serio (noh kyeh-roh nah-dah seh-ree-oh)
I think we should take some time (read: time apart) Deberamos darnos un tiempo (deh-beh-ree-ah-mohs dahr-
nohs oon tee-ehm-poh)
Would you like me to walk you home? - Quieres que te acompae a la casa? (kyeh-rehs keh teh ah-kohm-pahn-
yeh ah lah kah-sah) This phrase is only suggestive if you really want it to be. Otherwise, its a polite gesture.
Want to see the roof? - Quieres ver la terraza? (Kyeh-rehs vehr lah teh-rah-zah) Because who can resist the
romance of a moonlit rooftop?
When can I see you again? - Cundo te vuelvo a ver? (Kwahn-doh the vwehl-voh ah vehr)
Hopefully theyll hit you back with a suave I like your style Me gusta tu estilo (meh goos-tah too ehs-tee-loh) or
eres buena onda (eh-rehs bweh-nah ohn-dah).
