Hold her hand and tell her that everything will be okay. Squeeze her palm softly and interlock your fingers while locking your eyes with hers, show her empathy, show her love. Then, just let her head rest on your shoulder and make sure the touch of your fingers grazing the skin of her hand is as tender and comfortable as possible. You don't need to say anything else, you don't need to find the perfect words, you just need to keep her warm and allow her five minutes or maybe half an hour to listen to your heart beat. At the end, when time has gone by and when she has memorized the smell of your favorite cologne, kiss her cheek and then her forehead before looking at her straight in the eyes and tell her you'll always be there.

You only need to make sure you keep that promise forever. And that's it. That's how you get the girl.
