Even if you’ve been seeing someone for a while, asking them to be official can still feel a little nerve wracking. Planning a romantic gesture is a great way to sweep her off her feet when you pop the question! Read through this list of romantic ways to ask a girl to be your girlfriend, then use your favorite one to solidify your relationship.

Make her a playlist.

  1. Curate a list of romantic songs that she’ll appreciate. Head over to Spotify or Apple Music (or even YouTube!) and make a playlist with your favorite songs, her favorite songs, and a blend of the two. When you two are together next, set up the playlist on your phone and listen to it together. At the end of the playlist, you can ask her to be your girlfriend.[1]
    • This is also a great one to use if you don’t live near her and you can’t see her for a little bit. Make her a playlist and then text it to her, then call her up after she listens to it and pop the question.
    • You can phrase your question by saying something like, “I want to make this official. Will you be my girlfriend?”

Say it in a love letter.

  1. If you aren’t great at saying how you feel, try this. Grab your nicest stationary and a ballpoint pen, then sit down and draft a letter. Tell her how much you enjoy her company, how much she means to you, and then ask her to be your girlfriend. Seal the letter in an envelope, then give it to her the next time you see her.[5]
    • At the end of the letter, write something like, “Will you be my girlfriend?”
    • Try to stick around as she reads the letter so you can get the answer to your question.
    • Or, if you two don’t live close, you could send her the letter via snail mail and then call her up when she opens it.

Buy her a gift.

  1. Go out and grab something small to show her that you care. Don’t feel like you have to break the bank, especially if you two haven’t been seeing each other for long. Grab something like a bouquet of flowers, a simple pair of earrings, or her favorite snack.[7] Then, present your gift to her when you pop the question to show her how much you like her.[8]
    • If you have absolutely no idea what to get her, consider her interests. If she likes reading, grab her a bookmark or a paperback that she’s been wanting. If she loves animals, buy her a magnet with a cat or a dog on it.
