Dating and Going Out in Spain
Talk about dating apps, go on a first date and make plans to meet again in Spain.
In Spain dating starts with 'quedar' - meeting up for 'algo', usually a drink or tapas in the evening - and the language around apps is full of anglicisms like 'hacer match'. Splitting the bill ('a medias') is common on first dates. The cards follow a newcomer in Madrid getting advice from a friend about an app match, then the first date itself and making plans afterwards.
