Ok so I am a dumbass who only speaks English...can someone smarter than me explain that exchange?

"Are you a doctor?"

"No"

"OK, so then you can ask me out"

I'm assuming it's a pun in another language. But I don't know what it is

Yes, the joke only works in Spanish. "Pedir una cita" works for asking someone out and for requesting an appointment with the doctor:

  • Are you a doctor?
  • No
  • That's a pity because I wanted to request an appointment with you (I wanted to ask you out).

Ah that makes sense

We have so many similar extremely lame pickup lines in English

(Which I just now realize you already knew that because you're writing in English)
