Personally I wouldn't go the jewelry or flowers route, it's predictable and overrated... Put some more thought into it. What are her hobbies, interests, music, etc? It doesn't have to be expensive.

Ask her somewhere that could be interpreted either way - a movie, dinner at an interesting ethnic place, or something. Don't make it sound like a date - just see how she reacts. Don't push too fast, if she goes along, just let her know you had a really good time (assuming you did). If she sounds hesitant, then assume that isn't what she wants.

Wow... great suggestion
it helped me a lot. I think we can also do in other way that is build a good rapport with her then you can freely talk about dating. Most of the girls cant denies because already have good rapport

I would get her something that is cheap, but has very special meaning for the two of you. Those are always the best presents.

Hi,
My best suggestion to you is... you just maintain a good rapport with your girl friend before proposing anything to her. So that she can't denie your proposal Even if she denies you can convince her...
Gud luck..
