I'm dating this girl. It's not official. We do activities together. I constantly have my arm around her. My mom refers to her as my girlfriend, and my mom does not easily jump to the conclusion that two people are going out. How do I make it official? What do I say to her to ask her to officially be my girlfriend?

change your relationship status on facebook.
it's only official if it's on facebook.

It's true. But you do need to talk to her to make sure she accepts the status change.

Well I've always had problems making that transition with girls, but my awkwardness actually results in some pretty memorable moments for women, depending on the way she's used to see you act you can use your social shortcomings to your advantage. Anyway, here are a few suggestions (consider how long you two have been dating, it's very important) : 1) You could suggest for you to formalize your relationship October 10 2010 because "it's really easy to remember" but you must be very confident of what her answer is going to be and practice is needed so it comes out charming instead of weird. Also throw in a little gift like an origami or something like that. 2) When you're about to introduce her to someone ask her if she would like to be introduced as your girlfriend because you would certainly love the idea.

Also follow the "Friday night rule" (if it's implied you two see each other on weekends she's already your girlfriend). Ask your friends, probably she wants you to ask her the question but you hadn't noticed.

What if he doesn't have a Facebook account?

I have a facebook but she doesn't. I feel comfortable being awkward around her. She judges me based on character. At times things get slightly awkward, but she still loves me.

Maybe just be honest?

"Hey, I just wanted to clarify things... we are dating(/your my girlfriend/I'm your boyfriend), right?"

or make something obvious like...

"Want to go out on a date with me this Saturday?"

Dunno... reaching same point myself... where I'm somewhat dying to just blurt out and ask...

I try to do it, but I freeze up from strong emotions.
