OK, I have to ask now. I have heard the phrase "tomar cariño." Is this equivalent to "make out" (without necessarily going all the way), "make love" (definitely implies ''''), or something else?

Tomar cariño would not even be used in Spain..

Tener cariño: to like a lot, but not love

this is often said, when a man (or viceversa) wants to get rid of a woman:

Te tengo mucho cariño( pero no te quiero).
The last part, (pero no te quiero) is often not said, as the phrase is implicit in the first part. A woman knows, a man should too, but you know men...they are sometimes very thick...jejeje

I think , look at my post 9, that the most elegant way to say "make love" is:

Quiero estar entre tus brazos.

This is not very explicit and clear, but a woman would certainly understand.

Answer 2

Kristy,

Te quiero mucho y no puedo esperar para verte para decirte cuánto te quiero.

Answer 3

ok, this is getting more and more explicit, as the question has been answered, I am closing the thread.

Answer 4

Natasha, is it the same "make out" as "make love"'

Answer 6

Following the idea of Heidita, in Spanish when you want to get rid of someone it also exists the formula "Te quiero, pero no estoy enamorado/a de ti", that is like saying "I love you but I want to make love to someone else".
I suppose that in English it wouldn't make sense to say "I love you but I'm not in love with you
So the expression "te quiero" is subject to interpretation and not always definitive in the ground of sentimental relationships.

Am I missing something or did the poster say she wants to "Make Love" to him. Isn't there any way of saying this in Spanish without the use of the word j'''er or similar crudities.

"Quiero acostarme con él" is much softer, but there are countless ways of saying this being even less explicit; it is just a matter of imagination.

By the way, the original and more romantic meaning of "hacer el amor" virtually disappeared about 50 years ago, just to be replaced by the fashionable French reinterpretation of this expression, which now is used everywhere in many languages.

A la de Fontiveros le permitía dar paseítos en una jaca, que aparejaron para ella, y a la chica de Urquiza le hacía el amor por lo fino con tanta insistencia, que hasta corrió la voz de que se casaban. - Benito Pérez Galdós

Cada niña aristócrata no necesitaba más cuidado que prohibir a su novio formal -el futuro esposo- hacer el amor a la huérfana, a lo menos en presencia de su futura. - Clarín

There we have our good old eddy his usual dirty minded self!And he is right mind you...lol but we do not talk about this on this forum, remember? jejeje

Heidita, this was a sincere question. In English we can say make love without it being crude. Everybody knows what you mean and it is acceptable in civilised conversation. Don't you have a similar meaning in Spanish that also does not sound crude and to which people will not take offence.

Answer 14

Very elegantly:

Estoy deseando estar en tus brazos
