As if there could be one more reason...

So Spanish apparently doesn't have a word for dating. As in, there's novia (girlfriend), which is serious commitment. Not engaged, but a definite possibility of. There's also a literal translation of "going out with" which seems to me to be "we've gone on dates." Anything in between is not generally a part of la cultura de Latino Americano. So they don't even put a word on it.

This seems to be a good reason to be very careful. Si?

Do people in Argentina use the term "enamorado"? In Peru, that means something in between "novio" and "salimos." An enamorado has not met your parents yet.
