Warning: Use the following with utmost caution; Better don’t until you are sure about a certain level of intimacy with your acquaintance!

So many dangerous curves and me without brakes! – ¡Tantas curvas peligrosas, y yo sin frenos!

You look like a candy; the wrapper is cute but it’s what’s inside that’s really tasty – Pareces un bombon;  es muy bonita la envoltura pero lo rico es lo que está adentro

Walk in the shade because candies melt in the Sun – Camina por la sombre porque las bombones se derriten al sol

Just talk and connect

Now, I understand these might not be the most creative pick up lines invented by mankind but they will certainly put you on the right track to making friends with native speakers. They might not turn you into the Barney Stinson of Latin America but they will surely have you charming your way right into the hearts of those native speakers, well enough to initiate a healthy conversation and even friendship! Was that not the point of the whole exercise anyway? Acquiring Spanish vocabulary calls for total immersion and making acquaintances with those who speak nothing but Spanish is a surefire method.

It might be intimidating at first but a sure-fire way of not only accelerating your learning and winning some life-long friends along the way. If you are in or close to a Hispanic community it’s even easier. Just walk into a bar or any such place where Latinos are known to frequent more or less exclusively, and chat up anyone sitting at the bar using your rudimentary Spanish and see your initiative win you accolades and snowball into an experience of a lifetime.

If you are far from such communities, help is still not far. There are plenty of chatrooms exclusively meant for Latinos. Just sign in and get going. In fact, there’s a slight advantage here in that you will find the experience less intimidating than a real-life interface. Also, watching Hispanic chatters use native Spanish to break ice amongst themselves will enrich your experience way more than just learning a bunch of phrases listed above.

Just be sure you know that the basic principles of flirting and chivalry apply in Spanish as much as the do in English or any other language or culture. While healthy flirting is harmless, even a slightly wrong usage or context could make your acquaintance uncomfortable and pretty much ruin your evening. So, tread with caution and make your Spanish work for you, not against you.
