Clarification of Question by rougepenguin21-ga on 08 Feb 2006 19:28 PST

Just thought id add a few details to help this question.   Her life is
based around school and sports. Her favorite two songs are "Almost" by
Bowling for Soup and "Just the Girl" by Click Five. In relationships
she is into old fashion type boys. "Ask the dad for his permission"
"guy acts first type stuff". She loves ballroom dancing and is a very
outdoorish girl. You know loves the pine forest and stuff. She also is
a country girl.

Since you haven't mentioned too many details about this girl, this
answer is going to be quite general.

In my personal experience (since I was a 15-16 year old girl just a a
few short years ago), you have to keep your ears open for any clues
that she might have given you. If you have known this girl for some
time, then there has surely been a time when she has mentioned a band,
or a singer, or an actor, or a movie, or a soccer / volleyball
celebrity that she adores. Movies, and music DVDs are always a good
choice.

The latest gadgets that are a craze would also be really welcome - For
instance, last year everyone was nuts for an i-pod. However, I would
strongly advice you that if you want to seem like you would make an
extremely considerate boyfriend, you need to do something extra - over
and above the simple act of going to the store, and purchasing the
gift.

For instance, if you were going to buy this girl the i-pod, go the
extra mile, by getting it in her favourite colour, or getting her a
funky cover with it - AND filling it up with the kind of music she's
into.

Objective: convert platonic female friend into girlfriend.

Proposed method: Bribery

You would be a lot better off taking her to sporting events that she
is keen to see, on the basis that continued physical proximity often
leads to ...

However, girls are a lot smarter than they appear on the surface
- while they do respond to bribery, they tend to make the decisions
and control events. Ever heard of a Venus Fly Trap ?

If she wants to de-platonize your friendship, then she'll set the time
and place, although 'a spot of Madiera M'Dear' might speed things up a
bit.
