Lots of women are raised to believe that it's unfeminine to have an opinion and that if they tell you what they want to do they will look pushy or selfish.

I'm sure you aren't interested in encouraging those stereotypes, but by assuming that all women (or girls) are the same based on your limited experience you kinda push in that direction.

So first, I agree with the rest of the posters who say ask her-- you might be surprised by what she says. And, if it turns out that you are right and she doesn't have an opinion (or any ideas) say-- hmm, I don't have any ideas yet either, could we brainstorm together to come up with something fun?

It may be a bit awkward at first, but in the long run most people prefer to be treated as an individual and not just as a "girl"
