Can someone help? The Eng CM translation is ‘‘Mary asked me to take her out tonight.’’ Can ‘‘wyciągnąć kogoś’’ be used in the context of taking someone on date??? Thanks

#3

“Wyciągnąć kogoś” doesn’t imply romantic interest, so it would rarely be used in the context of taking someone on a date. It is usually used when talking about going out with friends.
