You are confused, Shahrukh. The first question at the end of the first song is "Are you comfortable?" After the second song, it is "Do you have a boyfriend?" And the third question is "Will you go for coffee?" ** at the end of the tanda. They may offer to give the woman their phone number, but it will usually be a cellphone or the number of the store near their house. Wouldn't want the wife or the girlfriend intercepting those calls.
**'Going for coffee' has a much more provocative connotation than it does in the US. I have answered, "A cafe milonguero o un cafe de amistad?" (friendship). <GRIN> Nancy --- Shahrukh Merchant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The first thing that most Argentine men ask the > woman after the first > > dance is if she feels comfortable.
