the gringo trap
Do not lead with a translated pickup line.
Ask normal context questions: ¿vienes con amigos?, ¿qué antro recomiendas?
In nightlife, natural Spanish beats clever Spanish almost every time.
safe / local / spicy
¿Vienes con amigos?
¿Qué plan traes?
¿Se arma baile o pura plática?
The spicy one is playful, not a starter line for everyone.
