1. Eres muy guapo / guapa

   You are very handsome / beautiful

2. ¿Te puedo invitar a una copa?

   Can I buy you a drink?

3. Me gustaría verte de nuevo

4. ¿Quieres bailar conmigo?

   Would you like to dance with me?

   Usage

   Grammar Note

   "Conmigo" fuses con (with) + migo (me). Its pair is "contigo" (with you)

5. Tienes una sonrisa preciosa

   You have a beautiful smile

   Usage

   A refined compliment about someone's smile

   "Sonrisa" is feminine, so we use "preciosa". Apply similarly: unos ojos preciosos (beautiful eyes)

   "Te gustaría" (conditional) softens the invitation. "Cenar" means to have dinner

8. Tienes unos ojos preciosos

   You have beautiful eyes

   Usage

   A refined compliment about someone's eyes

   "Ojos" is masculine plural, so "preciosos". "Unos" is the plural of "un" (a/an)

9. Me encanta cómo ríes

   I love the way you laugh

   Usage

   A warm compliment about the way someone laughs
