So, tomorrow night, I'm picking her up, and am gonna ask if "we are a couple?" or "will be you be my gf?" or something along those lines. I'm not sure yet. Anyways, my friend suggested I get her a stuffed animal, one of her favorite animal, then put a note in it's paws or flippers, and give it to her as that. Now, from what I've heard from many sources (including her best friend), it's a guranteed KO. So my question is this, what would be a nice cute way of writing "will you be my gf" without writing it that way? BTW, in case anyone was wondering, the animal is a shark.
Send her a certified letter asking her if she'll go steady with you. Or even better, an overnight via UPS or FedEX so you can track the letter online. And make sure you include a pin of some type.

It's more work than necessary since a stuffed animal isn't going to be a deal breaker on something like this. But it's a nice gesture

A stuffed animal might work.... if it has a wireless camera and mic in its body and you can set up a laptop to capture the data for later analysis. You can't trust girls these days,

Tell her to put the bear in the bathroom. Girls LOVE to talk on the phone on the $hitter, plus you'll get some nice pictures.

yope, so I'll just give her the stuffed animal, and ask the question verbally, case closed.

Verbally or written it's not necessary. If you keep asking her out and she keeps saying yes, then she's yours. There doesn't need to be any formal "will you be my girlfriend?" moment. If you want to give her a gift, that's great, but skip the question altogether.

I disagree. When I first started dating a woman, I would never be exclusive to her until she and I discussed it and agreed to it.

At that point, she was my girlfriend. Before then, though I would still date other people.

I am married now with two children and have been with the same girl for 11 years so my opinion is a little dated.

The note in a stuffed animal is great, but.... What is wrong with just writing "Will you be my girlfriend?"

I think it is incredibly cute and incredibly romantic.

Reading that made me say.... awww..... and I am a cold-hearted b!tch.

Why are you ASKING her if she will be your girlfriend?

If she's into you, she'll stick around and be loyal without much discussion.

Asking her this is needy...

There is an unwritten man-rule that says that the guy should never bring up the monogamy talk. The girl has to bring it up. After long enough, she will eventually bring it up.

That's the worst way to go about it. You wanna let her see you talking to other girls, then she'll bring up the monogamy talk. Then basically you agree, and you're a couple. All you have to say is "I wasn't sure where we stood".

All the girls I've dated have asked me this. Never asked myself. With me it's assumed, but girls feel like they need the solidarity that comes with the title or something. Who knows. If it really matters to her she'll ask you. Otherwise I advise the "Introduce her as your GF" idea as opposed to asking her "are you my GF?" :roll: I can't even imagine how lame and emasculated I'd feel asking a girl that question. It doesn't exactly scream confidence.

no it's not, not in this day and age of STD's that can kill a person.Assuming exclusivity isn't a good idea.

Shut up. You're supposed to not ask her until she asks you the question, "What are we?"
Then you know she's really into you and want you inside her there and then.
