“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.

“Me gustaría sellar tus labios con los míos.”

“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]
