A guy I work with said "tu eres bonita y noble." What does "noble" in Spanish mean? Is it the same thing in Spanish as it is in English?
He also calls me "mamacita" should I take that as disrespectful? He kisses me on the cheek a lot and asks me to be his "novia"..I take it as joking. He said "quieres ir bailando conmigo?" Do you think he was joking or serious? I don't want to take it seriously if he is just playing, but I don't want to hurt his feelings either, he's so adorable!
Thanks!

FYI : I know what else he was saying, I was unsure of the word "noble" so to the second answerer, I'm not stupid enough to believe your answer.

tu eres bonita y noble - you are beautiful and noble

"noble" means more or less the same as in English. Implying you not only have the looks, but you also have the character qualities he likes.
"mamacita" is not disrespectful. A little familiar but not disrespectful. "novia" means "girlfriend". It also means "bride" depending on the context, but in this case it obviously means girl friend.
"Would you like to go dancing with me?" I suggest, if you like him, you say "Claro que sÃ" (after he asks you to go dancing). No big commitment involved there. If he bursts out laughing, just laugh with him. If his face lights up, and he says he'll meet you at such an hour, such a day, then you've got a date, and you know there is a certain element of seriousness.
EDIT:
He might be a great guy. But since he is from another country, it would be wise to go very slowly. Get to know him bit by bit, taking your time between each level of relationship. Why?
1. Different cultures - level of understanding is different.
2. Some people can turn on the charm hoping for a green card, or permanent immigration status. (he might already have it though).
3. He might come from a background that considers women are for men's amusement, that they shouldn't use their brains too much. I say he MIGHT, but that is not necessarily the case.

You can say him, in spanish, papito, it means daddy but not in the familiar way.
papito=pah pee to
he likes you a lot!
when he said "quieres ir a bailar conmigo?" he realy said "do you want to dance with me?"
say him yes!
Good luck, girl!

No-via means Girlfriend, yes hes serious, but I'd tell him to learn English, I had a Mexican Boyfriend, and he was trouble!!! get a Spanish Dictionary it helps, and make sure he's here Legally, He may just want Papers... Yes im talking from experience... Mine was adorable too...but turned out to be Diablo!!!!

You are beautiful and noble
my little mama
girlfriend
Do you want to dance with me?
Hopeless romantic hoping that a lovely young woman such as yourself would be interested. He's probably married; if not, he is fishing, for sure - maybe both! Cuidado,muy peligroso.
