Getting physical in Spanish

Today, I added a new section to the Hook Up Spanish Phrase Guide on getting physical in Spanish. I threw in a few phrases about massage and getting turned on.

Spanish phrases for bands, concerts and shows

I've added some Spanish phrases for bands, concerts and shows to the Hook Up Spanish Phrase Guide.

These are handy Spanish phrases if you're watching live music, regardless of the style. Also includes harmless questions you can throw out to initiate a conversation.

"I love you" in Spanish with querer and amar

I added "I love you" phrases to the Hook Up Spanish Phrase Guide. I show how to say "I love you" using either querer or amar and the difference between them. I also included phrases using the third person: "she loves him", "I love her", etc..

Finding out how serious a relationship is

When you become interested in someone, one of the first things you
typically want to find out is whether they are currently dating someone.  If they are, then that might be enough to make you move on to the next person.  However, you might also find out how serious they are in their current relationship (whether they are dating someone casually or exclusively).

There's a number of ways to describe a relationship from casual
to serious:

They're just fooling around.
Sólo están vacilando.
SOH-loh ehs-tAHn vah-see-lahn-doh.

They're friends with benefits.
Son amigos con derechos.
sohn ah-mee-gohs kohn deh-reh-chohs.

They are boyfriend/girlfriend.
Son novios.
sohn NOH-vee-ohs.

They're serious.
Andan de novios.
ahn-dahn deh noh-vee-ohs.

They are engaged.
Están prometidos.
Eh-STAHN proh-meh-TEE-dohs.

Of course, one of the best ways to find out whether or not someone
is available is to ask:

Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
¿Tienes novio/a?
¿tee-ehn-ehs noh-vee-oh/ah?

In some countries a boyfriend is called novio (NOH-vee-yoh)
whereas in others novio means more of a fiancée and a boyfriend is
called amigo (ah-MEE-goh).  You might need to clarify this when
talking with someone.  If they say tengo novio (TEHN-goh
NOH-vee-yoh), you can ask if they are engaged (see above) or just
dating. 

Similarly, if a man says Ella es mi amiga (EH-yah ehs mee
ah-MEE-gah), you might need to clarify if they mean girlfriend or
just friend.  Not only do you want to know this before you ask
someone out, you need to be aware of this when referring to your
own significant other and friends so that you don't convey too much
or too little commitment in your own relationships.
 

Asking and expressing "liking someone"

Today I added phrases to the Hook Up Spanish Phrase Guide covering "liking someone." These phrases show the difference between liking someone in a romantic or sexual way and liking someone simply as a person or friend. I also show how to add adjectives into the phrases for more emphasis.

I included both declarative phrases and questions. I also included a lot of phrases using the third person so you know phrases like "Do you like her," "I like him," "does he like her," etc.

What to do at the end of date

I added some more phrases to the Hook Up Spanish Phrase Guide. These cover what do at the end of a date: parting ways at the end of a date, accompanying someone to their house, goodnight kiss, asking if anyone is at their house, inviting someone in, etc....

Asking if someone has more than one boyfriend or girlfriend

 
 
Whether you want to date someone mutually exclusive or are interested in a short term relationship or simply a one night fling, knowing the intentions of the person you are interested in is important.  If you are interested in a long term relationship, you don't want to date someone who goes out with someone new every night or if you are interested in playing around, you don't want to go out with someone looking for a commitment.
 
So, if you are interested in someone, you can find out their intentions by asking whether or not they have more than one girlfriend/boyfriend:
 
Does she have more than one boyfriend?
¿Anda con otro?
¿AHN-dah kohn OH-troh?
 
Do you have more than one girlfriend?
¿Andas con otra?
¿AHN-dahs kohn OH-trah?
 
If you know somebody has a current girlfriend/boyfriend, but are still interested in pursuing them, you can ask:
 
Would you go out with somebody else?
¿Andaría con otro/a?
¿ahn-dahr-REE-ah kohn OH-troh/ah?
 
Depending on the answer you get, you might be making a date or making a break for it.
