Snow (v)

[Arkhaia hellen]

"What he'd do was, he'd start snowing his date in this very quiet, sincere voice-- like as if he wasn't only a very handsome guy but a nice, sincere guy, too."


What would "snow" mean in this context?

 

[WestSideGal]

To "snow" in this context would be to be overly complimentary in order to win someone over.

 

[unspecified]

Something like engatusar;acting or speaking in some way in order to give a false impression.

Thank you =)

I've never heard that expression, but if I understand it correctly, it could mean something like the deliberate act to, softly and smoothly but surely and with a specific intention, to convince the other person of something.

Maybe someone else can elaborate on this?

Would echar flores mean the same thing?

WeSideGal. No, "echar flores" means to flatter, which can be done in many ways.
Best regards.

But couldn't flattery be a way of "snowing" someone?

Yes, you're right, it could. Although "echar flores" doesn't have to be subtle, and it usually isn't. Still, at the end of the day a guy will do it pretty much for the same reasons: to win a girl over.
Best regards.
