How to Say ‘I liked you right away.’ in Mexican Spanish
Me caíste muy bien desde que te vi.
meh kah-EES-teh mwee byen DES-deh keh teh vee
[meh kah-EES-teh mwee byen DES-deh keh teh vee]
💬 Usage Tip: [Caerle bien a alguien] means to like someone in the sense of finding them pleasant, not romantic love. Same pattern: [Me caes bien] = "I like you" / "You seem nice to me."
🇲🇽 In Mexico: This is flirty but relatively safe because it sounds warm, not overly intense. It lands better after a little conversation than as your very first line.
