Texting & dating apps: Texting after the date to say you had fun

🇲🇽 This is the natural Mexican way to say you enjoyed a date. It's warm without being too intense, so it works well as a first text afterwards.

💬 Adding -ísimo or -ísima to the end of a word means "really" or "super": rica becomes riquísima. The c changes to qu here to keep the hard k sound.

🇲🇽 Tacos al pastor are spit-roasted marinated pork, often topped with pineapple. They're a classic casual, late-night date food in Mexico City.

💬 buenísimos ends in -os to match the plural tacos. For one thing, it would be buenísimo; for something like la salsa, it would be buenísima.

💬 ¿Te gustaría...? plus an action word is a soft, polite way to invite someone. Reuse it with other plans: ¿Te gustaría ir al cine? "Would you like to go to the movies?".

🇲🇽 Asking this by text the same night or the next day is normal and reads as clear interest. It isn't seen as too eager.

💬 latir normally means "to beat", like a heart. In Mexico, ¿te late...? is slang for "do you like the idea of...?" or "are you up for...?".

🇲🇽 This is very Mexican and casual, perfect for texting someone you've already been out with. You wouldn't use it in formal situations.

💬 me late is Mexican slang for "I'm into it". It literally means "it beats to me", like a heartbeat.

🇲🇽 It's very Mexican and very casual. It's friendly and warm by text, but too informal for work emails.

💬 como in front of a time means "around" or "about", not "like". For example, como a las ocho means "around eight".

💬 tan in front of a describing word means "so" or "such": tan bonita, tan rica "so delicious".

💬 Gracias a ti is the standard reply when someone thanks you, putting the stress on "you". If you use usted with someone, say gracias a usted instead.

💬 Literally it means "may you rest". que plus this wishing form is a reusable pattern: que te vaya bien "hope it goes well".

🇲🇽 buenas noches works both as a greeting after dark and as a goodnight. In texts it often closes the conversation, sometimes alongside que descanses.
