    If you've just had an intimate meal, been kissing, or even just made love, you're probably feeling a really close connection to her. Look her in the eyes and tell her how she makes you feel—be as specific, honest, and vulnerable as possible. She'll probably be charmed by your old-school style and find it pretty cute. [1]
    • For example, at the end of your evening together, hold her close and say something like, "You make me feel so incredible like I want to experience everything with you. I can't imagine being without you. Can I be your partner?"

    It's totally normal to be nervous about asking a girl to be your girlfriend! If you're worried you'll freeze when the moment comes, write down your feelings and question in the form of a poem or a simple letter. She'll think it's sweet. Plus, she'll have something to keep as a memento.
    • At a loss for words? Don't worry! It's totally fine to use a great quotation when you ask her.
    • For example, write down a romantic Shakespearean sonnet to give her, or just use a quotation like, "‘I would not wish any companion in the world but you," as an opening line in your letter.

    For an intimate way of asking, wait until the two of you are alone and sing a special song—her favorite song or one that has the perfect lyrics for what you want to tell her. When you finish the song, pop the question. If you want a bold, fun way of asking, take her out for karaoke! Dedicate the song to her and ask her before you sing so she can think of her response, or ask her when you finish singing a special number. [2]
    • For instance, say, "I'm dedicating this song to you, Lena, since it will do a better job of telling you how I feel. I'm hoping it will explain why I want you to be my girlfriend."
    • Feeling extra ambitious? Compose your own music or lyrics! She'll be touched by your efforts and musical abilities.

    For example, write something like, "This might be cheesy, but will you be my girlfriend?" on the inside of a pizza box. If she's into sweet treats, order a bunch of cupcakes and get the letters to spell "Will you be my girlfriend?" piped on top. [3]
    • Customize this to the food she likes. You could use icing to spell out the question on a big cookie cake or write the question on the lid of a box of chocolate for instance.

    You might hide clues at places where you've gone on dates. Lead her through the hunt , but tell her to be at a specific place at a specific time for the last clue. Then, write your question on a note or poster for her to read. Meet her at the spot with flowers to hear her response. [5]

    This is a simple but thoughtful way to ask her out. Carefully unwrap her favorite candy bar and write your question on a small piece of paper. Slide the paper into the wrapper and repackage the candy. Then, offer it to her the next time you go on a date. [6]
    • Consider using brightly colored paper so she notices it when she unwraps the candy. You don't want her accidentally throwing it away!

Then, ask her to call you and show her the screen when your phone starts ringing, or pretend like you lost your phone and ask her to call it so you can look. Let her find the phone so she sees your message.

    Despite all the dating advice you might have gotten in the past, there's no rulebook that says you have to formally ask her by a specific date. Instead, use your intuition to decide when it's time to ask her—maybe you've been going out for a few weeks or perhaps you've just had one amazing date. [9]
    • Don't let yourself feel rushed or pressured into asking her, even if you know she'll say yes!
