If she likes baseball, maybe you want to take her to a game and get some help from the announcers to put you on the jumbo-tron, so you can ask her to be your girl. Writing it on a piece of paper to hold up is the easiest.
Use your imagination. The key is to make sure you ask her with as many people around as you can.

Change your name and picture in her contacts to something really cute. Put her phone back and give her a call to ask her to be your girlfriend. Guaranteed, she’s going to be over the moon to be your girl.

18 – MAKE YOUR MOVE AT THE MOVIES
This is a super neat way to grab her attention and make her want to be your girlfriend. All you’ve got to do is get a hold of her movie ticket and pop the question on it. Give it to her, of course, before you enter the theatre and make sure you ask her something specific, like the gate number, just to make sure she looks at it.
You’ll be in her heart forever with this approach.
19 – DIVE INTO HER INNER NERD
If your girl happens to like to sit at the front of the class, this is a super smart way to ask her out. Get a hold of her textbook and write your message on the pages you know she will be looking at. If you don’t want to graffiti the book, you can slip a note in that she’s sure to notice.
You’re going to figure out fairly fast whether you’ve got a lot of chemistry together.
20 – USE THE BOOKMARK METHOD
Figure out what book she’s reading and stick a sticky note in it. Keep it clever and make sure you get her smiling with the note. She’s certainly going to say yes.
21 – JUST WRITE IT
You don’t have to be extremely creative to make this one work. Write her a few riddles on some paper with some bright markers. Ask her a few questions and give her a box at the end where she can check “yes” or “no.”
Going to all this trouble should get you a big yes!
22 – GO INSTAGRAM CRAZY
Take the time to post a really sweet photo of something you know she holds near and dear to her heart. Then, all you’ve got to do is ask her the big question!
23 – THE CLASSROOM NOTE
Of course, this one works best if you are both in school. Write a simple note asking her for a yes or no answer. If she’s going to say yes, all she’s got to do is smile at you. If it’s a no, have her do a summersault or backflip, something super ridiculous that’s going to make her laugh.
24 – CHEESY FOOD ROUTE
Sometimes, it’s okay to get a little cheesy with the question. Put out a bowl of oranges and write, “Orange you glad I’m asking you to go out with me?”
There’s a little bit of a risk with this one, but it does work.
25 – TRY THE EMOJI WAY
It seems as if everyone uses emojis these days. Try asking her out with only emojis. This will take a little cleverness, but I’m sure you are up to the challenge if you really want to go out with this girl.
There are right and wrong ways to ask a girl out. Follow your gut and, although you should consider each one of them, only use the routes you feel at least semi-comfortable with.
26 – LOOK FOR HER
If you want a girl to know you want her, all you’ve got to do is put a little effort into tracking her down and asking her. This goes a long way in making her feel super special. If you don’t know, take a guess at where she might be and, through trial and error and asking people the right questions, you will find her.
27 – JUST TELL HER YOU ARE TREATING HER TO LUNCH
This one works, but it’s a little ballsy. When you are hanging out with a few of your friends and the girl you have your eye on is included, stand up and tell her that you are taking her out for lunch. Hopefully, she’ll follow you, and when you are by yourselves, you can tell her that you are also going to take her out.
Grab her hand just to make it official and show her your manly confidence.
28 – SIMPLY ASK FOR HER NUMBER
This is another straight-up approach for asking a girl out. Chances are, you’ve seen this girl around but just haven’t had the opportunity to take it to the next level. When you see her next, just ask her for her phone number. It’s pretty straightforward and to the point.
29 – GIVE HER A SCRIPT FOR A DATE
This is a super-clever way to capture her undivided attention. If you are looking to sweep her off her feet, this is the tactic that will do it. Create your own prescription and ask her for one date on it. Talk about totally adorable.
30 – GET DANGEROUS AND ASK HER OUT
This is one of those moves that will either work out perfectly or be disastrous. Try opening the exit door to ask her out or something else that’s semi-stupid to get her attention. You’ll flatter her with this one and likely leave her smiling and shaking her head.
31 – SET UP A GAME
This one is a really sweet route to ask a girl out. Set up some sort of board or card game for the two of you to play. Rig the game, so she picks up a card that has you asking her out. You’ll have to get creative and do a little guessing, but it will be worth it.
32 – SEND HER ON A MISSION
You’ve got to use your imagination to make this one work. Ask the girl to meet you somewhere and have someone, perhaps a little kid, deliver your message for you. On a recorder, ask her on a mission, and if she chooses to accept it, she will need to meet you on a certain day and time, at a specific place, for your date.
Add some balloons to make it work perfectly. Red indicates no, yellow is a possibility, and green is for yes.
Hopefully, she will hang onto the green balloon, and that’s the signal you’ve won her over.
33 – POINT OUT SIMILARITIES
Start a list with the girl you like about the things you have in common. When you get to the end of the line, figure out a clever way to make the next number all about you asking her out. Perhaps you both love hot chocolate with marshmallows. Next, you need to hunt her down and write the question somewhere on the hot chocolate when you hand it to her.
Maybe this girl you like is vegan. If so, you could make her a bouquet of veggies, instead of flowers, when you ask her out. This is showing her that you are both clever and creative and that you are going out of your way to make sure she knows just how special you think she is.
That’s not only adorable, but it’s totally sweet.
34 – JUST SPELL IT OUT
Have you ever played hangman? This is an awesome way to spell out that you want her to go out with you. The topic could simply be miscellaneous. Talk about sweet and endearing simultaneously.
HOW NOT TO ASK A GIRL OUT
NO-NO #1 – THROUGH HER FRIENDS
Don’t be the guy that flirts with all the girls and then asks one girl out that’s in the pack. Talk about a lame move. Just don’t do it, please.
NO-NO #2 – LEAVE THE COCKINESS OUT OF IT
Sure, you might be drop-dead handsome, but that doesn’t mean you need to flaunt it to make her think she’s lucky to go out with you. That’s a super quick way to get her running the other way.
NO-NO #3 – SKIP THE BORING
You don’t have to be a super hero and do something death-defying to ask her out. However, don’t be the boring dork, either. Most girls just aren’t interested in a man that’s ho-hum boring.
FINAL WORDS
When you are looking for cute and clever ways to ask a girl out, there’s no end to the possibilities. Just make sure you follow your gut and don’t do anything that’s going to push you too far out of your comfort zone. Some of the tactics above can backfire big-time.
