Was at a breakfast today with my friend Lacho. One of the waitresses and I caught each other’s eye and, eventually, she made her way over. Speaking Spanish, she starts talking to Lacho (who also speaks Spanish). About 15 seconds in, she asks me if I speak Spanish (in Spanish), to which I answered “Nein”. She looked me, smiled a bit, then spoke to Lacho before leaving. He then turns to me and says “She says you need to learn Spanish, then come back to ask her out.” Challenge… _accepted!_ “Will you translate for me?” “Sure.” (Lacho grins, is beginning to enjoy this.) So I wait until she isn’t busy and then wave my hand. She comes back, and Lacho says he is going to translate for me. Looking at her, of course, I say (pausing so Lacho doesn’t get behind): “In the movies… this is the moment… where I offer to teach you English… and you offer to teach me Spanish… over dinner and wine of course. I am going to leave my name and phone number… and if you want to have dinner… just give me a text or call…” …pointing at my phone… “…We can figure the language thing later, using this.” I wrote my name and number on the receipt, and left my business card for good measure. This was 6 hours ago, the restaurant closes in 30 minutes. Will she reach out? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/2074))_ ---
