How to Ask Someone to Be Your Boyfriend or Girlfriend
Asking someone to be a permanent part of one's life, as in a girlfriend or boyfriend, can be a scary yet rewarding experience. It is important to know that each person cares equally about the other before entering into a serious relationship. Having a significant other means that a person needs to spend more time thinking about another person, and not just himself. If the timing and feeling is right, go for it. Always get to know each other first, however, to make sure the relationship has a chance.

Ask the question. If you have been on a date or two together, ask "Will you be my boyfriend/girlfriend?" Generally, the answer will be a simple yes or no, according to LifeCoachingStudio.com. If the person says "no" then it is time to move on. If they say "yes" then a new relationship has just begun.
