[Tango-L] Dance for success?

[NANCY]

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).
