So I'm trying to impress a girl with my piano skills. Which piece would you choose? I'm thinking something by Yiruma, but maybe Taylor Swift or so...

Or worse... what if you write one, name it for her, and she doesn't like it? I stand by my original suggestion.

Nah she doesnt play it. Now I'm thinking more about My Heart Will go On since I can't personally write music. Any more suggestions?

Depends on the girl. If I were a girl I'd probably just like it that you're playing something for me. I like Legal Beagle's first suggestion. How impressed she'll be probably depends on how fast and how well you learn it, and if you can't find piano sheet music for it, she should be impressed if you transcribe some, then learn it well, then play it for her. Boom, headshot.

Legal Beagle's suggestion is excellent.
Even better, learn to sound out the song on the spot. Check out the girl's reaction at 2:00 of this awesome ChatRoulette / piano improv video making the rounds:

Learn a song with her name in the title. "Emily";" Lucille"; "once in love with Amy"; etc.

Oooh, I like that a

Of course, if her name really is Lafawnduh (discovered I had spelled it wrong), then I recommend this:
For Lafawnduh

My proposition: learn a good ragtime from Scott Joplin. Ladies love ragtime - but will never admit..

Even if you play badly and she still is happy you played something for her, then you have true love
