    A clear invitation to a date. Cita can also mean an appointment, but conmigo and the romantic context clarify the intended meaning.

  2. Would you like to go out?¿Te gustaría salir?

    ¿Te gustaría salir? is a polite, familiar invitation. Salir can mean going out socially or dating; it does not establish romantic intent by itself. Add conmigo or mention una cita if you need to make the invitation clearer.

  4. I like you.Me gustas.

    Me gustas usually expresses personal or romantic attraction when addressed to someone directly. To say you like someone as a person without suggesting attraction, me caes bien is often the clearer choice.

  5. I love you deeply.Te amo.

    A strong declaration of love, usually for a romantic partner or a deeply loved family member. Te quiero is also natural and affectionate in Mexico; it does not automatically mean weaker love.

  6. You make me happy.Me haces feliz.
