Hi again! I forgot to mention it here, but the Catalan girl whom I wanted to ask out and I are now dating 🥰 Estic molt enamorat 😚

P.s: I’m the same Chris who posted a comment here back on Jan 10!

I would be direct and say: ‘l’altre dia vaig escoltar una cançó a la ràdio que es deia ‘Boig per tu’ i em vas venir al cap. Quedem per fer un vinet i m’ajudes a entendre la lletra?’ . Good luck! Please report back on your progress.

Hi Chris, it’s so sweet that you want to use Catalan words ❤️ That’s a good point! You can use a simple “ t’agradaria anar a prendre alguna cosa /al cinema / al teatre junts?” Or “ t’ agradaria que ens veiéssim algun dia per anar a sopar/ dinar/ passejar/ cinema ? “ sort!!!!

Nati

Hi Chris! You can simply say to her ’t’agradaria anar a prendre alguna cosa amb mi?’ 👏

Helena
