Breathing by Lifehouse, Waiting on an Angel, and IBYU are all the bomb. (this has been confirmed :wink: ). But my favorite song to play for a girl (girlfriend or potential) is Walk With You by Dispatch. listen to it if you havent already, it's fairly easy chordwise, and fun to play.

America by Simon and Garfunkel is one the babes I hang out with always dig.

If there wasnt as much about being drunk and sad, or if you just had the chorus, You're So Great by Blur might be good... not the best though, I suppose... :?

yeah BOWA is a good one for sure. and it looks impressive too if you play it like Dave. When I first learned it I just played standard chords. IBYU is nice but also hard to sing. I don't do well vocally in A major. But I think it'd be cool to write your own song for her. I have one going pretty good right now but when I started to write the lyrics to it, I got stuck after the first line :) lyrics are a struggle for me.
good, and you?

Yeah, women dig songwriters. I wrote a song for a physics lab we were presenting and had my really hot lab partiner holding the song sheet as I sang it. I was a tad nervous and my voice cracked a few times, but it was still perfect.

Give me a break. I write songs for projects every chance I get. Its easy, teachers are impressed with it, girls love it, and gives you an excuse to play guitar during homework time.
