“Quiero besarte.”

“I want to kiss you.” Pronounce it “kee-arrow bay-sar-tay.” While it is technically an exact translation, “Quiero besarte” may not be so common as other, more lyrical phrases. If you are traveling, consider the way that people commonly ask for kisses in this culture, and try asking someone from your specific location for advice.^{[1]

- ”Quiero” is the “I” conjugation of the verb “querer,” “to want.”
- ”Besarte” is the you-directed unconjugated form of the verb “besar,” or “to kiss.” “Te” refers to “you.” Thus, “besarte” literally means “to kiss you.”

Asking gives your date an explicit choice in the matter, and it also puts him/her on the spot to say “si” or “no.” This option might be best if you are less confident that the person wants to kiss you back.

“I would like to seal your lips with mine.” Pronounce it, “May goo-star-ee-a say-yar toos la-bee-os cohn los mee-os.” If you are trying to kiss a non-native Spanish speaker, then he or she may not pick up the nuance of this phrase. However, a native Spanish speaker may find these words more lyrical and romantic than a plain “Besame” or “Quiero besarte.”
- ”Me gustaría” is the conditional conjugation of “gustar,” meaning “to like” or “to please.” Think of the phrase like, “It would please me to kiss you.”
- ”Sellar” is the verb “to stamp.”^{[6]

Tips

Consider learning to speak Spanish. If you want to have a relationship with a native Spanish speaker, he or she will likely appreciate the effort. Also, a basic grounding in conversational Spanish will make it much easier to ask someone for a kiss.

Try to get a native speaker to teach you how to pronounce it properly.

If you say these phrases to someone and he/she asks what you mean, consider simply going for the kiss. Alternately, translate the words, but try not to lose the spirit of the moment!
