Hey, my head's kinda in another century when it comes to asking out girls...namely I'm more like a knight or a minstrel in the middle ages serenading and writing poetry for a girl. Is that at all recieved well by girls now-a-days? I was just wondering because I really want to pluck up the courage to ask this girl that I like out, and I just want to know what works best in the modern day and age.

PERSONALLY
if someone wrote poetry for me...
or serenaded or did anything like that i'd be thrilled!
but i'm kinda old fashend when it comes to life... like... i still think men should open doors for us girls and stand for us and things like that .. .
but since i'm 99.9% sure that i'm not the one your concidering asking i'd stick to something more normal...
I agree with Anonymous one- someone who would take the time to write poetry and serenade would be wonderful. Good muscicians are especially awesome, and, truly, a rare find in today's world.
Go for it, and stay who you are
good luck....
I think that your idea of courting a woman is theoretically ver nice, but I would have to say that it's a bit too impractiacal nowadays, considering not many people are doing this anymore. However, once your with her poetry, serenades and letters can be a great idea on anniversaries or Valentine's Day. However, do be a gentleman, as anon1 said. You know hold doors open, open car doors, stuff like that.
Really, don't take my word for this. I wouldn't say I've had great success when it comes to things like that. But I think this is a generally accepted idea.
If someone worte a poem for me, I might die of happiness :) Good luck, OP
Poetry is good, even if its not good poetry... but make sure not to stalk her! because thats really really really creepy!
Writing poetry to ask a girl to a dance or for a birthday/anniversary is ok, but if you want to ask her out just casually, just ask!
Make sure the poetry is not about all of her qualities. That is creepy. For example, of you like her hair, DO NOT include fantasies if stroking it in the poem.
This did happen once. We had to bury it the backyard with spoons.
Make sure what you do is nice, but not creepy. You can go the "courting" route, but there is a fine line--- excessive poetry, ect. don't put you on the right side of it.
good luck
I think asking her out with a poem would be great. I'm not very old fashioned, and I'd be totally ecstatic if a guy did that for me. You might want to wait for the serenading as 006 said, but I think a good male musician is totally sexy.
I would have to say no to the poetry if you are just asking her out on a plain old date. Maybe if it was for a dance or Valentine's Day or some special occassion but you could still do something cute like get her roses or have a scavenger hunt type deal with a clue in her locker or something along those lines. I guess you could write a poem but don't talk about her looks or thinking about her (you could maybe mention it once in a longer poem) because girls over-analyze everything.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Wouldn't you like
To go out for a dinner for two?
If you need good poetry, WH Auden is your man.
Seconded, Mrs. Muffin Man.
Especially cellists.
