Boletín del ayuntamiento: actividades para conocer gente

(City council bulletin: activities to meet people)
El Servicio de Juventud y Cultura recuerda que las actividades municipalesson una forma sencilla de ampliar tu círculo social. En el último trimestre se apuntaron muchas personas nuevas, el ambiente fue más abierto y algunos grupos siguieron reuniéndose fuera del programa.
Desde la organización recomiendan ir sin expectativas y hablar con naturalidad: a veces se empieza una relación de amistad y, otras veces, surge una . Si no hay , es mejor poco a poco. También aconsejan respetar los límites: si alguien o no bien, lo más sano es el plan con educación.The Youth and Culture Service reminds you that municipal activities (book club, hiking and film forum) are an easy way to expand your social circle. In the last quarter many new people signed up, so the atmosphere was more open and some groups kept meeting outside the program.
The organizers recommend going without expectations and speaking naturally: sometimes a friendship starts and, other times, a date comes up. If there isn’t any trust, it’s better to keep in touch little by little. They also advise respecting boundaries: if you don’t like someone or you don’t get along well, the healthiest thing is to end the plan politely.

Hola, Laura 😊 Soy Dani, del cole. ¡Cuánto tiempo!
Oye, este viernes he quedado para cenar con mi colega Marta y su pareja. Pensé en ti porque hace años que no nos vemos y me caes genial. ¿Te apetece venir?
Podemos reservar en un sitio del centro sobre las 20:30. Si estás saliendo con alguien, tráelo/tráela; si no, da igual, es un plan tranquilo para ponernos al día. Avísame hoy, así lo dejo cerrado.
Hi, Laura 😊 I’m Dani, from school. Long time no see!
Hey, this Friday I’m meeting up for dinner with my friend Marta and her partner. I thought of you because we haven’t seen each other in years and I really like you. Do you feel like coming?
We can book a place downtown around 8:30 pm. If you’re seeing someone, bring him/her; if not, it doesn’t matter, it’s a relaxed plan to catch up. Let me know today, so I can get it finalized.
Useful phrases:
-
Me apetece, así que cuenta conmigo.
(I feel like it, so count me in.)
-
Estoy saliendo con alguien desde hace poco, o sea que vendré con él/ella.
(I’ve been seeing someone for a little while, so I’ll come with him/her.)
-
Este viernes lo tengo complicado, entonces ¿podemos quedar otro día?
(This Friday is tough for me, so can we meet another day?)
Hi, Dani! What a nice surprise to hear from you. I’d really love to, so count me in this Friday. 8:30 pm downtown works for me. I’ve been seeing someone for a little while, so I’ll go with him if that’s okay with you all; if he can’t make it in the end, I’ll go alone, no problem. Which restaurant do you want to book? If you tell me the name, we’ll meet there directly. I’m looking forward to catching up!
