Pleasing a girl has never been easy. Impressing one on the other hand, is relatively simple! Girls are known to prefer the thoughtful simplicity of a surprise gift, a reassuring word when they are down, or a warm hug when they are overwhelmed.

It’s the little things that a boy does or the extremes he would go through to show his lady love real love! Keeping that in mind, here are a few tips that are sure to come in handy when you’re about to ask a girl to be yours.

Start with gifts

Pick a week from the calendar and start the week by making her feel special. Gift her little thoughtful things like red roses, cute cards, bears, chocolates during the course of this lucky week and then at the end of the week, ask her why she thinks you’re doing all this! Play it slow and eventually ask her if she’d like you to do this for her all the time and whether she’d like to be your girl! Imagine the chances of her being highly impressed and flattered!

Write her a poem

Write one for her, about what you see in her and what she means to you. Girls love nothing more than knowing that a boy wrote an original poem or song exclusively for them! So go ahead, pick up that pen and write her a love poem, one that she’s never read and one that she’d treasure forever.

Play her a song

If you know how to play a musical instrument, put it to good use! Ask her to meet you somewhere and play her her favorite song or one that you think she’d love. You could perhaps add to the mood by adding flavour to the ambience in terms of brightly lit candles…

Compliment her often

The most crucial time when a boy likes a girl is the eventful time between knowing a girl and getting prepared to ask her out. Impressions are already formed and its hard to recreate an image. Spend the time in-between by getting to know her and genuinely complimenting her every time you meet her.

Take her out

Be a friend first and get to know her likes and dislikes. Then start taking her out to places that would interest her. Over time, you could finally take her to a romantic restaurant to set the mood and ask her out!

Show her you can dance

Girls love boys who dance! Take her dancing and impress her with your skills! Set the mood and at the end of the evening, do the asking! If all goes well, you’ll be dancing like a couple in love in no time!

Give her reasons to smile

At the heart of it all, girls are not materialistic. They like the simple things in life. Find ways to make her smile through the day. Send her cute texts, dedicate a song on the radio, or buy her a fish…

Highlight your skills

If you have a specific skill, show it to her. Plan it in a way that would make it seem interesting. Impress her, sweep her off her feet with it and then shoot the question! It will sure be hard to say no!

Don’t shy away from her parents

Get to know her parents and start socializing with them from time to time. Greet them, be formal, be a gentleman. If they like you, chances of her saying no when you finally ask her out will be limited!

Be involved

Get involved in her life and day to day schedules so that you can get to know her better. A girl will sense that you’re trying to understand her and she’ll feel good about the whole thing. Pop the question when you think the time is right once you know her well enough!

Be creative

If poems, songs, gifts are not your thing, put on your thinking cap and find ways to creatively ask her out! Maybe, paint her a picture with the question. Or order a cake with the question in icing. It will be different and unique and she’d love the idea for sure! And may end up being yours truly!

Groom yourself

Do away with your 2 day old boxers and sweat shirts, wear fresh clothes and be clean shaven when you meet her. Let her know that you can dress well and are always tuned out to look your best. Ask her out on a random day.

Getaway

Getaway from the routine and the mundane by making a group of friends and going camping for the weekend. Ask her over the bonfire and marshmallow chomping session…

Do not fake

Be yourself when you plan to ask her out. Don’t be nervous. Be confident. Plan your question and speech well in advance and floor her with your side. Put a script in place. For instance: instead of saying, will you go out with me? ask, How about being my girlfriend?

Prove yourself to her

Make her feel like as though you are a great person. Prove yourself to her. Let her see the difference between you and other guys… show her what you can and are willing to do for her or give her!

True love

If you are one to believe in true love, don’t be shy to show her. Girls love guys who aren’t afraid of real love and the works.

Be her hero

In their heart of hearts, girls want guys to be their hero. Position yourself as her hero, do things for her that no one would have done before.

If you like someone and if you really want to ask her out, the most important thing is to muster up the courage and just ask! You could be given a whole guidebook, a thesis, an encyclopaedia dedicated to the topic, but if you’re not going to be man enough to get up there and do it, then nothing will help! All the world’s tips and ideas can be an enhancing factor. But you and your feelings are the most important and crucial of the lot.

Point blank: go up to her and just ask once you’re ready! And when you’re ready, you’ll just know it!
