Whether you are looking for a relationship with commitment or one with no strings attached, you want to make sure that the person you are interested in is on the same page.

After all, if you just wanted one date with some drinks and maybe some alone time afterwards, you probably wouldn’t be seeking the company of someone who is looking for something long term.

Likewise, if you wanted commitment you likely would not waste your time with a player. By doing a little homework and learning some Spanish terms you can get the inside scoop on whether or not the other person is right for you.

The way someone expresses a person’s availability can give you some significant insight. For instance, he is single could be said:

He is single.
Es soltero.

We all could use help to make the most out of a relationship.
