One of the most noble reasons for which you might want to learn Spanish is to find your significant other. And who would blame you?!
People in Spanish-speaking countries are good-looking, beautiful, and sexy! But wait! How do you do flirting in Spanish? Lucky for you, Spring Spanish (one of my side-projects!) made a great video on this, check it here:
And this is not all! In this blog post, we’ll share every step of the way, so you don’t get frightened when you get into a romantic situation 😉
1. How to start a conversation with someone
Okay, so… First, of course, you have to start somewhere. But how do you do it?
You have to approach someone. Don’t worry, Spanish native speakers are open-minded, they won’t bite you, and you can use the following phrases to talk to them.
Start by saying hello in Spanish, introduce yourself, then you can immediately give them a little compliment.
| Spanish | English |
|---|---|
| Hola, ¿cómo estás? Me llamo [Your Name]. ¿Y tú? | Hi, how are you? My name is [Your Name]. And you? |
| Hola, ¿te puedo invitar a tomar algo? | Hi, can I invite you to have a drink? |
| Me encanta tu sonrisa. ¿Cómo te llamas? | I love your smile. What’s your name? |
| Hola, ¿vienes aquí a menudo? | Hi, do you come here often? |
| Disculpa, pero no pude evitar notar lo guapo/guapa que eres. | Excuse me, but I couldn’t help but notice how handsome/beautiful you are. |
2. Cheesy pick-up lines for flirting in Spanish
After the first few Spanish sentences, you can try cheesy pick-up lines. Just make sure you add a touch of humor to these, because they might find you too cheesy.
These pick-up lines are popular ones you might have already heard on the streets with Spanish slangs. Analyse your situation, don’t go over the board, and don’ be too pushy!
| Spanish | English |
|---|---|
| ¿Crees en el amor a primera vista o debo pasar otra vez? | Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again? |
| _Si fueras un vegetal, serías un “bonito”._ | If you were a vegetable, you’d be a “cutecumber”. |
| ¿Tienes un mapa? Porque me he perdido en tus ojos. | Do you have a map? Because I got lost in your eyes. |
| Debes estar cansado/cansada, porque has estado corriendo por mi mente todo el día. | You must be tired because you’ve been running through my mind all day. |
| ¿Eres una cámara? Porque cada vez que te miro, sonrío. | Are you a camera? Because every time I look at you, I smile. |
3. Romantic phrases in Spanish
You find someone beautiful in Spanish regions. After the introductions and some funny Spanish phrases, it’s time to be romantic.
It’s time to learn how to say I love you in Spanish, but pay attention, because there are levels of love in Spanish. Saying te quiero and te amo isn’t the same in every use case. The next table is safe 😉
| Spanish | English |
|---|---|
| Te amo | I love you |
