Giving a date compliments: Telling them you enjoy their company

🇫🇷 Saying you enjoy spending time with someone is a clear but gentle sign of interest. It reads as sincere rather than pushy.

🇫🇷 Said with a smile, this invites the other person to say more. It's a playful way to fish for a little extra after a compliment.

💬 Literally "that makes me pleasure". The same phrase also answers a thank-you: Avec plaisir and Ça me fait plaisir both mean "my pleasure".

💬 French says "I am at ease" with être "to be", not "feel". Swap the place in: Je suis à l'aise ici "I'm comfortable here".

🇫🇷 Telling a date you feel at ease with them is one of the warmest compliments in French. It suggests real comfort, not just attraction.

💬 On here means "we", and it's how most people say "we" in everyday speech. It takes the same verb form as il: on rigole, on mange.

🇫🇷 Rigoler is casual, warmer than the neutral rire "to laugh". It fits a relaxed date perfectly.

💬 C' only appears joined to the next word, as in c'est. Never alone.

💬 The final s of temps and the t of vite behave differently: temps sounds like (tahn), while vite keeps its t sound (veet).

🇫🇷 A romantic but light way to say you're enjoying the date. Often said near the end of the evening.

💬 Déjà usually sits right after the verb, between c'est and the next word. Same pattern: Tu pars déjà ? "You're leaving already?"

💬 Rising tone alone turns a statement into a question here; the word order stays the same as On se revoit bientôt "We'll see each other soon".

🇫🇷 An enthusiastic yes to an invitation. In French it sounds natural and warm, not stiff as "with pleasure" can in English.

💬 No word for "on" is needed: samedi alone means "on Saturday". Adding le, as in le samedi, turns it into "on Saturdays".

💬 Ça te va ? is the informal version; with someone you call vous, say Ça vous va ?. It also works for clothes: "Does that suit you?"

💬 Days of the week need no word for "on": samedi alone means "on Saturday".

💬 Soirée means the whole evening as an experience, while soir is just the time of day. You thank someone for a soirée, not a soir.

🇫🇷 Only for parting late at night or before bed. Earlier in the evening, say Bonne soirée "Have a good evening" instead.

🇫🇷 The natural reply when someone thanks you first: it turns the thanks back to them, like "No, thank you".

💬 À plus a time is the go-to way to say "see you then". Swap in anything: À demain "See you tomorrow", À ce soir "See you tonight".
