Are you trying to catch the attention of that special someone with some pick-up lines in Spanish? This is Madame Zazú, and welcome again to your favorite evening show: Talking with Madame Zazú!
*Mystical music, esoteric imagery and sheer curtains open wide, showing the kind-eyed sensation and mystic, Madame Zazú, to the viewers on the other side of the TV.*
"Welcome, m’ijos, to Talking with Mme. Zazú! May the stars and archangels bless you from above! Recently, I’ve been receiving many messages on my official Instagram page from my beloved fans asking me to help them gain the attention of their special someone in Spanish! These are mostly Spanish students who need some extra help to express their feelings instantly! How sweet! Sadly, I can’t answer all of you individually on my Instagram page, but I’ll gladly answer some DMs I recently received, and with the power of Venus, I'll make a special prayer for your love life!"
A disclaimer appears at the bottom of the screen:
*** “The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of Madame Zazú and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or views of Channel 4.” ***
Here's the first DM I'd like to address.
"Hello, Madame Zazú. My name is Charles Hewitt. I'm about to graduate with my Bachelor's soon, and I'm considering taking my Master's in Bilbao next year, and hopefully, settling there. I've been to Spain before and, gosh, the Spanish ladies are so...guapas! Can you please share some tips on getting started with the ladies, and some sexy pick-up lines that can help me get some of the attention I want? Thank you in advance!"
Oh, so sweet! Congratulations on your studies, Charlie! If you want to take the first step in Spanish, you can always take inspiration from some telenovelas - the characters express their love quite often! And you can find some basic Spanish pick-up lines and love phrases there! Take this scene as an example.
This scene summarizes it all: "te amo" is the universal way to express "I love you" in Spanish, but since it can be so cliché, you can try some deeper expressions.
For example, if you noticed, the scene mentioned the following lines:
In Spanish, we use the words "tener" (to have), "sentir" (to feel) and "confesar" (to confess) a lot, especially in dramas, along with the direct object pronouns - "me", "te", "le", "se" - because we're directing our feelings to a specific person. So I recommend you start with some basic sentences, such as:
Play with these sentences, and personalize them as you see fit. I assure you these will impress any Spanish lady!
As for your other request... indeed, there are some flirty phrases you can use. However, I recommend you to use these with caution. Hot Spanish pick-up lines can be either funny or cringe worthy, especially if you tell them to complete strangers. Now, if you need a witty pick-up line, I can think of...
¿Qué hace una estrella volando tan bajito? = What's a star doing flying so low?
Si tus ojos fueran el cielo y tu boca el mar, me gustaría ser el horizonte para poderte besar. = If your eyes were the sky and your mouth the sea, I'd like to be the horizon so that I can give you a kiss.

What do you think of these Spanish pick-up lines? I hope they help you, my dear Charlie, wherever you are! May the power of Venus bless you in your journey in Spain!
Here's another sweet DM! Let's read it together!
"Hello, Madame Zazú. I'm Adam, and I'm a big fan of your show. I've learned so much about my zodiac thanks to you and I love how accurate your predictions are. The reason I'm sending you this message is that there's a cute Mexican girl at my workplace that I like a lot, and I want to express my feelings to her in Spanish (she's still learning English). Can you please help me with some short, easy-to-remember Spanish pick-up lines? I'm learning Spanish, but I'm still a beginner and I can't remember long sentences, sorry..."
Aww, qué bonito! Sure, Adam, dear, I'll gladly help you out! If you're watching this right now, then pay attention.
First of all, don't stress yourself so much if you're still a beginner! Second, Spanish pick-up lines are only fun when you're 100% confident about what you're saying, but if you're still struggling, you need to start from scratch! Let me share with you some quick footage that explains it better.
M’ijos, avoid cheesy pick-up lines if you don’t know what you’re doing. And begin by constructing smaller, simpler compliments first.
Begin by saying “qué…” and add a nice adjective to what you like, such as their smile or their eyes. “Qué…” is essentially the Spanish “What a…”. For example:
Also begin by stating what you like about them, using “me gusta”, “me encanta” or, if you want to tell your feelings outright, “amo”. For example:
Finally, never underestimate the power of a simple compliment! Just say “eres” or, if you want the focus to be on their physical appearance, “estás”, and that’s good enough!
See how easy and charming these phrases are?
Spanish pick-up lines can be super sweet and funny with people you know, but always begin with simple, sincere phrases. They’re easier to handle and they show your true colors right away. Don’t try to impress with complex Spanish, ok?
One last DM! This one is from a girl! Let's check it out!
"Hi, Madame Zazú. My name's Cynthia. This is a strange request, but can you please help me flirt with a boy I like? Right now I'm working as a volunteer in an NGO in Peru, and this guy is really sweet and handsome, but his English... sucks. So I hope that, with some Spanish pick-up lines, he might finally understand my feelings. I'd be so happy if you can help me next time on your show!"
Oh, m’ija! I understand your struggle! Boys can be so dense sometimes! But indeed, boys like being flirted with as much as girls! Let me show you some testimonials.
Latinos are used to finding any excuse to approach someone, strike up a conversation, and take it from there. However, because you know each other already, you can tell him all the attributes you like about him. For example:
Or you can compare his best assets to things he’d like to hear!
Or, if you're feeling especially bold, try this pick-up line:
Eres como el café, ¡porque estás caliente, bueno y fuerte! = You're like coffee because you're hot, tasty, and strong!
Eventually, the boy will understand you’re trying to flirt with him, and once your Spanish improves, you might be able to fully express your feelings in much greater detail. Just keep practicing and never give up on love!
Time’s up, m’ijos! I hope you enjoyed tonight’s show! Please, don’t give up on love, and keep polishing your Spanish to get the attention you want! I wish you a good night and I send you all the love and blessings from the constellations, Venus, and the archangels!
Adiós y bonita noche.
