For the first, "Стань моей девушкой".
For the second, "Станешь ли ты моей девушкой?"

I vote for the second one.
But is not girlfriend подруга?

Doesn't sound, kwatts. Unless it's like a friend.

How do you say, "I love you and I want you to have my children" (to a girl) in Russian? LOL

LOL, if you mean that he has some offsprings he'd like to share with his "to-be" wife, it will go like that:

Я люблю тебя, и мне хочется, чтобы мои дети стали и твоими детьми.

No, no offsprings yet. I mean, say I am in love with a girl (Maria Sharapova for example, just an example :P ) and I would like to tell her,

"I love you and I want you to have my children"

And by "I want you to have my children," I mean, I want her to be the mother of my children. And she and I have no offsprings yet.

Okay, I misunderstood the message.

I cannot imagine saying that, maybe becuase I've never come across such a situation as begging my sweetheart for that. Let's make one more try:

Я люблю тебя, и мне хочется, чтобы у нас были общие дети.

Sounds awkward. Maybe some other Russian has experienced that?

Is it awkward in Russian? I see. In English it is an enthusiastic expression of love, more so than just saying, "I love you".

I guess the meaning the expression communicates is not just that I love the girl, but also I want her to become the mother of my children. What sort of expression would sound better in Russian to express that?

In this case, I may think of "Я тебя люблю. Будь моей женой, пожалуйста". It's not that affectionate as the English variant.

Ok, I guess it doesn't work in Russian. Thanks. I guess... Я люблю тебя... will do.

Happy confession!

You lucky dog. :P

- Ты хочешь завести детей со мной? Прямо сейчас? Я не могу, я на работе. (с) Служебный роман

I would say Я голубой, personally.

No, not me. Ведь я не сам не люблю мужчин (Кроме папы). Но когда Noobs спрашивают меня как правильно называть красивых девчонок по их родному языку, я всегда отвечаю "Я голубой". Несколько людей думают что это клёво звучит.

Russian hospitality eh? Not very nice! LOL

I think the closest translation of : "I love you and I want you to be the mother of my children"
would be

"я тебя люблю, и я хочу чтобы ты родила моих детей"

It has that same semi-rude crisp to it, as the english version. No?

Я люблю тебя и хочу, чтобы ты родила мне детей
sounds more correct grammatically, but still.. very awkward..
I would even say - it sounds very selfish. (girl's point of view)

one more variant: Я люблю тебя и хочу, чтобы ты стала матерью моих (I guess you can replace моих with наших if you don't want to sound selfish according to CTPEKO3A ) детей.
