Hi,
I'd like to say 'I would like to be your lover' in either Swiss French or Swiss German to a new friend in their language. What phrase(s) should I use and how would they be pronounced?
Many many thanks!

To a new friend?

Do people even say that in English? I admit I may be leading a sheltered life...

Very misleading title, don't you think?
I wouldn't call "I'd like to be your lover" romantic

Reason: It seems title only has one t, thanks Hannah'sauntie :)

Thank you all; especially Sky. (this girl would not find such a remark forward)
Pronunciation assist would always be helpful too. |

I find Patti Labelle more romantic than Lady G. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgLSeBPfVNM
You don't have to specify "ce soir", leave it open and see how often you get lucky.

Well maybe the word "lover" would cover the romance part... Better than some others I have heard
Last time I was back in Ireland I had a young lad (about 21) as me;
Is your surname Jacobs?
No.... Why?
Because your a cracker!

I know a guy who was successful with "do you do owt?" in München.
So for German, Ich möchte dein Geliebter sein, maybe.
Veut-tu coucher avec moi? would work in French. The song is rather formal, using vous.

Wow.... things have changed since I've been out of the dating scene!
It's probably for the best. Just say what you mean, right?

Veux-tu trapper le sac avec moi s'il te plait. I suppose you could use "vous" with a professional.
