I wish to ask a girl out - we go out on dates regularly, but I am unsure as to what etiquette to observe. Any suggestions of a special way, and one that is polite?

Make the night special and not how you ask her out. Without meaning to offend, I think many of the above suggestions come off a little gay and frankly pose the risk of setting u up for rejection. If not immediately then probably by the second time you try and pull the same deal. My advice is to act as if her company is not overly imortant to you, but just throw a suggestion out there of what you guys can do as if it just came to your head. And make it sound like "heck, why not? As apposed to doing nothing right?" without actually using those words. If you use that tone of voice it'll make her feel like she's being too uptight if she says no. All women dream of being treated like a princess, but whether they are aware of it or not, they would actually go more for something else. The princess thing will make them feel really good about themselves, but not necesarily make them attracted to you. It's all screwed up I know, but hey, I didn't make the rules : )

P.S. Oh and one other thing, you don't hold off on the whole princess thing forever, you do that to it's fullest extent once you guys are more established and no longer asking questions about how to approach eachother. Good luck, hope she falls for you!

Send her flowers,[ make sure she isn't allergic first], and attatch a card that says you would be so honored if she would accompany you to dinner and a movie Friday night.
It is special, it is very polite, and I bet she will be speachless if you do. And be a total gentleman the whole date. Hold doors, pull her chair out for her, and at the end of the date, thank her for the date, and tell her you had a wonderful time.
The flowers do not have to be expensive, a small inexpensive bouquet would do just fine. If you know, or can find out, what her favorite flower is, or what her favorite color is, try to include some. Have a wonderful date!
PS, girls almost always love roses.

It all REALLY depends on the girl! SHe sounds pretty special to you and much respect to you for thinking about her in this way by the way!

Have you thought of all the traditional ways? A bunch of flowers with a note, A huge set baloons with a note, a sing o gram?

My personall favourite is to just come out and ask her! Be romantic, look her in the eye - when you are on your regular date - tell her that you have booked a table at her favourite restaurant, tell her what time you expect her to be there and take it from there!

Good luck and don't look for quickly solutions to your feelings - you didn't feel this was over night, take your time and enjoy the courting faze!

Check this out!! Its a whole internet page on someone the same as you, maybe it is you??

There’s an email doing the rounds in London at the moment sent by a poor guy trying to ask a girl out he met at a party in a very, very soppy way. I’ve received 3 copies so far today so I’m sure this will be hitting the major news soon.
I think his ‘rap’ is bit too sloppy but judging by the reaction he’s getting and by the fact that some girls are calling and asking him out (his mobile number is in the email) maybe I should start using his style!

Some of the follow-up comments have been great:

So far, my Friday sucks but this has cheered me up…Read from the bottom up. I’d have had a restraining order whacked on this guy! What’s wrong with him?! He won’t go far but his email will!!! K
Read from the bottom up, what an absolute putz.
It reminds me of when Brendon Fraser was that sappy muppet for a while on Bedazzled.
Have you girls seen this one yet? Read from the bottom up. Your smile is the freshest of my special memories? Poor sod.

For f * cks sake, I’m still cleaning the vomit chunks out between the keys on my keyboard….Come to think of it, I’m gonna ask this dude out on a date…anyone who can speak so much sh !t deserves to buy me dinner and a movie ticket. The best part is that I just rung this dude and his mobile number is legit…. He answered and I told him I was a publisher and I wanted him to narrate a book titled “how to vomit 101″. He said email him the details. I love this guy….
I think the bloke (scroll way down to botton) is a d !ck. The sloppy sl#ts on this mail think he’s sweet on how he asked out some girl!!!
Another one of these Claire Swires-type e-mails. Quite funny though, poor guy. Maybe we should give him a call…? Fight you for him, Johnson!
If this bloke can get a date - everyone has to have a chance…
Here’s the original text. If you want an original then send me an email via the contact form:

FW: How to ask a girl out (in a round about way) - read from the bottom up
To: Kate Winsall
Subject: Lady of the cake
Hello Kate,
It’s joe - we met at Andrew’s party.
I hope you don’t mind me getting your e-mail address from the e-mail that Andy sent to us all; it is a bit sneaky of me. It was wonderful to meet you on Saturday, and I wonder if you would consider meeting me for coffee sometime; maybe at the Tate Modern?

OK. This is where my common sense is telling me to stop? keep it simple and positive joe.

And the probability of me listening to that voice? Experience has taught me that it is not worth putting up a fight; I will end up giving in to the part of me that never wants to find itself shaking its head and muttering ‘if only?’
This is the part where I throw caution to the wind; the part where I listen to my heart and remember that I should live my life as an exultation and revel in the opportunity to try; the part where I refuse to apologize for who I am; the part where I trust that the lady I met on Saturday night is, as I suspect, able to see sincerity where others would see clich .
I am fortunate enough to have been able to collect a number of special memories. They are memories of moments that made any struggle leading up to them worthwhile. They are memories of moments when I am struck by something so beautiful, time stands still and all of the ugliness in the world ceases to exist.
Your smile is the freshest of my special memories.

Regardless of whether we see each other again, I will use it as I do my other special memories. I will call on it when I am disheartened or low. I will hold it in my heart when I need inspiration. I will keep it with me for moments when I need to find a smile of my own.
I am unsure of all my motives for sharing this with you and, if I am honest, not ready to examine them too closely. However, I know that it makes me feel good to believe that maybe, if you are ever upset, knowing that I will be keeping your smile alive might help you through.
If you are half as intelligent and aware as I believe you to be, I am sure that you will find what I have written, in the very least, sweet.
If I am twice as lucky as I would dare to hope, you will find this note charming and agree to contact me and arrange a date.
Either way, I trust that your reply will be candid - you told me how much you value honesty.
One last thing, I promise that it is enormously rare for me to stray as far from sobriety as I managed on Saturday night.
Be safe.

It might be fun to put two tickets inside of something you know she'll like and hand it to her. When she finds the tickets, then ask her out.

It should come naturally now that you have been dating her regularly.

If you're going out with her regularly why you asking lthis question?

Just ask her to one side and just sound sincere. You could say something like... ''I really like you and I would love it if you'd go out with me sometime.''
