Crushing on someone and ready to make your move? Sure, you can say “Wanna go out?”—but putting thought into how you ask can make it more memorable and charming. Here are over 10 cute, fun, and unique ways to ask your crush out that will make them smile (and hopefully say yes!).
1. Slip a Note in Their Favorite Snack
If they love candy, slide a sweet note inside their favorite chocolate bar. If they prefer something savory, tuck it into a bag of chips or pretzels. Write something simple like:
"Do you want to go out with me?" or "Be mine?"
2. Surprise Them With Flowers
Flowers never go out of style! Grab a pretty bouquet—roses if you’re feeling romantic, or their favorite blooms—and attach a cute note asking them out. Affordable options are easy to find at most grocery stores.
3. Send a Cute Gif
If you’re shy, send a flirty gif that says “Will you be mine?” over text. Pair it with heart emojis or kissy faces to keep it playful yet sincere. Just make sure they know you’re serious about it!
4. Spell It Out With Food
Cook or order a meal and use the food to spell your question—think pancakes, spaghetti, fruit, or even frosting on a cake. Or go bold and write it in hot sauce next to some tacos.
5. Hide a Note in a Stick of Gum
Write your question on a gum wrapper, re-wrap it, and hand it to them. When they open it, they’ll discover your adorable secret message.
6. Make a Cheesy Date Pun
Offer them a box of dates and say, “Want one?”—then follow up with, “How about a real date?” No dates on hand? Use raisins and say, “What I really wanted was a date.”
7. Bring Them Coffee (or Tea)
Show up with their go-to coffee order and write your question on the cup:
"I like you a latte!" or "This is hard to espresso… but will you be mine?"
8. Change Your Name in Their Phone
Sneak into their contacts and change your name to “Be Mine?”. Then call or text them so they see your sweet proposal on screen. Bonus: use a cute profile picture like a heart or puppy.
9. Leave a Note in Their Favorite Book
Slip a small note inside their favorite book, journal, or planner. When they find it later, they’ll get a delightful surprise along with your thoughtful message.
10. Write a Note Inside a Pizza Box
Order pizza, and before handing it over, write “Will you be mine, or is this too cheesy?” on the inside of the lid. Pizza + flirting = perfection.
11. Fill Their Room With Balloons
If you’re close enough to visit their space, fill their room with balloons and spell out “Be Mine?” with letter balloons or a big sign. Just be sure to get permission if needed!
Asking your crush out doesn’t have to be nerve-wracking—just get creative, have fun, and let your personality shine. Any of these charming, memorable ways will leave them smiling and feeling special.
