How to say "let's meet" as an invitation to a date?

Question

In English it's simple "let's meet" or "let's meet up". In Spanish, even after having done a research, I can't figure out which one is correct and appropriate for an invitation to a date. 1. nos vemos 2. vamos a encontrarnos 3. vamos a quedarnos 4. vamos a reunirnos 5. ??? Which? When is used each one? Note, my question is not how to say "let's have tea together" and not "let's go out".

Answer 1

I would actually use subjunctive of the second verb in this case rather than “vamos,” but “vamos a encontrarnos” and “vamos a reunirnos” are on the right track. One way you could say it is “encontrémosnos” (let’s meet up) to say “let’s meet each other at ___ place” or “let’s meet up at ___ time.” Example of the first: “Encontrémosnos en el parque.” (Let’s meet up in the park) Example of the second: “Encontrémosnos a las seis.” (Let’s meet up at six)

”Reúnamosnos” also works, but not in the context you want. “Reunir” comes from the same root as “reunión,” which would be a reunion or meeting. I would use this more as when “meeting together” in a formal kind of meeting, such as part of an official group. Example: “Reúnamosnos como el club de deporte la semana que vienen.” (Let’s meet as the sports club next week.)

”Nos vemos” is another one you can use, as it can be loosely translated as “see you” or “see you later.” This works much the same as “reúnamosnos,” but is less of a mouthful and has a very casual feel to it. Example: “Nos vemos en el café el viernes, ¿está bien?” (I’ll see you in the cafe Friday, sound good?)
