I am a poet who likes to write about romance, relationships, break-ups, that kind of mushy stuff. But all of it's toward no one.
But anyway, onward towards my question:
How can I use that poetry to... how do I put this... change the mind of a girl I like about wanting a boyfriend? I've been told my poetry is beautiful, I've even put tears to people's eyes. But I've never used it for personal gain before.
What I want is for her to eventually to go out w/me; but she's still not ready for that because her parents don't want her to date, and she's suffered from bad break-ups before, and I don't want to hurt her.
So what I really want to know is should I just plain ol' ask her out? Or romance the day? You know: give her a poem to read, flirt w/her, gaze at the stars w/her, spend time w/her to slowly get her mind set before I ask her out. Or should I even ask her out at all and just spend the day together?

Hmm...
Well- first- while I think about what to say- I'm going to thank you for asking me into my inbox. Honestly- this is a tough question- and I think its great you confide in me to help you. Thank you so much! You don't know how much that means to me!
So- I think its great that you are a poet that [it seems] is very deep enough to bring people to tears. That's fantastic. Is that going to be your career? I would like to read some of your poems sometime =D. Anyway.. I think you should definitely write her a poem. Do you know how many girls would KILL to have something like that done for them? A lot of them would! Score one for you, buddy! I think you should romance the day. Girls love that kind of stuff.. as long as its sincere =D. Since you say that she has suffered bad breakups before- maybe in the poem- say something about how not all guys are the same- and some can break your heart- but then another one comes along and they can mend it- and take it back to what it was, or something like that. Maybe say that sometimes the best companion [for lack of a better word] is right in front of your face- you just don't realize it. Just write subtle clues about how you're that guy that won't break her heart- and how you're right in front of her already [I'm assuming you're friends].
So on your hangout-date-thingy, I think you should find out what she likes to do [maybe ask her mom or something]. I think any girl would like star-gazing. Hmm- I think I'll use that one day- thanks! =D.
Honestly- its your choice as to whether or not you want to ask her out- but I say go for it.. you don't want to miss out on something that could be really great, do you?
