Salvete!
I have a somewhat unusual request for the most erudite (and romantic) denizens of this forum. I enjoy studying Latin on my own by memorising aphorisms and ancient poetry, but I have a very limited command of grammar. I am contemplating asking a colleague of mine out on a date, not least because she has a very solid grammar foundation and is similarly infatuated with the language.
I wanted to write my invitation in Latin, but I am not overly confident about this. Are there any examples from poetry/prose that spring to your mind that you think could be used to invite someone on a date? Something that does not require exquisite knowledge of Latin in order to be understood and something that is quite steaightforward in terms of asking the right question?
I do wish to thank you a great deal in advance and even more so if you can suggest something special. It means a lot to me.
