Cultural Note
In the dating context, 'tener una cita' means to have a date. Spanish dating culture varies: in Spain, group outings often precede one-on-one dates, while in Latin America, formal dates are more traditional. The concept of 'cita a ciegas' (blind date) exists but is less common than in English-speaking cultures — meeting through friends and family remains the norm.
