01Be polite and humble
If you come off as aggressive this will turn her off and you can expect her to say no.
02Be clear
Make sure you ask the question in a clear, concise manner. There should be no confusion about what you’re asking.
03Ask at the right place, at the right time
The time and place that you ask are very important. Choose somewhere private or special to her, and make sure you know she is available – emotionally and time wise.
What You Shouldn’t Do

01Pressure her
If she seems to be leaning towards a ‘no’, do not pressure or guilt trip her into saying yes. Neither of you will be happy in a relationship that starts out like that.
02Overdo it
While you want the moment to be special, you shouldn’t make her feel uncomfortable by overdoing it with expressing your feelings or making a grand public gesture.
03Flirt with others
While this should be pretty obvious, most guys are dummies when it comes to winning over a girl. If she likes you she will be paying attention to what you do, so don’t be a flirt because she will never want to be a plan B.
