Asking gives your date an explicit choice in the matter, and it also puts him/her on the spot to say “si” or “no.” This option might be best if you are less confident that the person wants to kiss you back.

“I would like to seal your lips with mine.” Pronounce it, “May goo-star-ee-a say-yar toos la-bee-os cohn los mee-os.” If you are trying to kiss a non-native Spanish speaker, then he or she may not pick up the nuance of this phrase. However, a native Spanish speaker may find these words more lyrical and romantic than a plain “Besame” or “Quiero besarte.”

- ”Sellar” is the verb “to stamp.”^{[7]

Consider learning to speak Spanish. If you want to have a relationship with a native Spanish speaker, he or she will likely appreciate the effort. Also, a basic grounding in conversational Spanish will make it much easier to ask someone for a kiss.

If you say these phrases to someone and he/she asks what you mean, consider simply going for the kiss. Alternately, translate the words, but try not to lose the spirit of the moment!
