Please DO NOT ever ask a girl to be your gf through phone call, sms or msn etc. It just shows total lack of sincerity.
Just ask the girl face to face. It shows your sincerity and also it shows that you are a man who dares to spproach difficulties face to face. Try to find a quiet moment to ask the question so that she will feel comfortable. And always be prepared for rejection. If she accepts you, then good news. But if she rejects you, please be a gentleman and try to break the silence by saying something nice that will reduce her tension. Always end a rejection nicely with both of you going home smiling (although i know you will feel so damn disappointed).
I do agree with some of you who said that things will never be the same again after a girl rejects you. This is very debatable and it depends a lot on how both the girl and the guy handles the situation. Sometimes, it is still possible to bring things back to what they were before, but it can never be 100% like the past.
