There’s a certain stereotype about Colombian women that a lot of media can’t seem to shake off. That stereotype being that they’re all beautiful, sensual, and desirable. In fact, this stereotype can be stuck onto a lot of Latina women in general, not just the Colombian ones.
Whether or not that stereotype is true, the fact of the matter is that it’s entered and ingrained itself to the public consciousness and thus, influences the perception of Colombian women. This makes a lot of men, who aren’t Colombian, want to date them.
The problem for a lot of these men is that a Colombian woman’s first language, and the language she uses most often and is most comfortable with, is probably going to be Spanish.
Now, it’s true that Spanish is one of the most widely-spoken languages in the world and is widely taught in the United States, which has a very large Spanish-speaking population.
It’s also true that there are a lot of people around the world who don’t know a lick of Spanish and would be completely lost in a country where it’s the main language spoken. Now, if they can’t even get around, the chances of them being able to successfully date someone are pretty low.
Now, there are a few Spanish phrases a non-Spanish speaker can keep in their back pocket should they find themselves wanting to go to a place such as Colombia and start dating someone there.
Now should you go ahead and decide to go and date in Colombia, you’re going to need to formulate your approach. It’s not like you can just walk up to a woman and immediately be in a relationship with them. Now, you’re going to need a few introductory phrases to get the ball rolling.
- Como te llamas (coh-moh teh yah-mahs) / What’s your name?
What’s in a name? Quite a lot. If you’re going to date someone, you’re going to need to know their name. Sure, you might end up using pet names more than given names, but you’re still going to need to know what her given name is because that kind of basic information is something immigration services are going to want to make sure you know so they can verify that it’s not a green card marriage should you get to the point of marriage.
Also, it’s just polite to know the name of the person that you’re dating.
- Mucho gusto (moo-choh goos-toh) / Nice to meet you
Another thing you can say is to express how nice it is to be in someone’s presence for the first time.
- Te invito tomas algo? (teh een-vee-toh toh-mahr ahl-goh) / Can I buy you a drink?
Once you get the pleasantries out of the way, it’s time to buckle down and get serious about dating someone. One of the best ways to kickstart a romantic encounter with someone is to offer to buy them a drink when you first meet them.
Not only will the alcohol relax them, it can relax you as well if she agrees to share that drink she lets you buy her with you.
- Quisieras salir conmigo (kee-see-eh-rahs sah-lir kohn-mee-goh) / Would you like to go out with me?
Once you’ve made your approach and made your impression, it’s time to drop the hammer and ask her out. If she says yes, then great. You’ve got a date. If she says no, then that sucks but there are plenty of fish in the sea.
Okay, the need to know Spanish doesn’t end with just getting a date. You’re going to need Spanish for actually going on the date as well. Little phrases that you’ll need to gently nudge the romantic odds in your favor.
- Te estas disfrutando (teh ehs-tahs dees-froo-tahn-doh )/ Are you having a good time?
On a date, you want to make sure that the woman you’re with is having a good time because if she has a good time on that date, she’s going to want to have more dates with you. So make sure to ask her that she’s having a good time so you can either keep doing what you’re doing or make the necessary adjustments.
- Vamos a otro lado (vah-mohs ah oh-troh lah-doh)/Let’s go somewhere else
Once you’re on a date and you select a location that’s not all that conducive to romance, you can suggest going somewhere else. A change of scenery can help improve your chances at having a good time and finding love.
Whether you’re on a date or trying to get one, you’re going to need to make sure she knows how great she is. You know how great she is because you asked her out, but you want to make sure that she knows how great she is as well.
- Te ves muy bien (teh vehs mooyh biehn)/ You are very good-looking
One of the easiest compliments you can give to a woman while you’re dating is to compliment her on her looks. Telling her that she looks good is a surefire way to bring up her self-esteem.
- Eres muy bonita (eh-res mooyh boh-nee-tah)/ You’re very pretty
Another way that you can compliment someone is to tell them that they’re pretty. Calling someone good-looking is fine, but calling someone pretty is a different level of compliment entirely.
- Hola linda (oh-lah leen-dah)/Hello, beautiful
A great way to greet someone you’ve been dating is to call them beautiful instead of saying their actual name. Sure, you’ll have to know their actual name. But calling them beautiful at the outset of an encounter can really lift their spirits.
Language is one of the biggest cornerstones of communication, which is one of the most important aspects of a relationship. If you want to start a relationship with a Colombian woman, you’re going to have to speak at least some of her language, not just to get a date with her, but also to sustain a relationship with her.
