Any Chopin Nocturne will do.  Are you up to it?

I'd have thought a "hard part" would impress a girl far more.   ;)

It should be as hard as necessary to drive home the point.  ;)

This is too easy!

hochzeitstag auf troldhaugen from grieg will do

i am studying that one now :P just started but it looks/sounds cool so far

i think a girl gives more about how the piece sounds instead of how technically hard it is? i mean i saw people impresses girls with fur elise :(

I suggest you play a duet with her - she plays the treble part sitting on the left and you play the bass part sitting on the right.

That is if the girl a) can play the piano and b) is willing to try it impromptu.

Do you want it to be hard but a long peice, or hard and short? ;) Depends on what she can manage huh. :D

Something from Liszt like Liebestraum No. 3

if it's to hard for you Consolations No. 2

Beethoven's Moonlight 1st Movement

Schumann's  "Träumerei"

Debussy's Claire de lune or reverie

Tschaikowsky's June

I don't think, it's important how difficult the piece is,
you have to play it good,

so best luck

I played Medtner's "Alla Reminiscenza" for a girl once, and, while it wasn't to impress her, she seemed impressed by the piece's beauty.  If you can get down the tricky three-against-eight rhythm, it's almost sight-readably easy.

Is she interested in classical music?

Perhaps you can play a transcription of a song by Robby Williams, Phill Collins...

try Liszts sposalizio if your up to it technically - its on topic and has pretty tune and you can show off at end with your powerful warm 8ves.
OR if you want a slightly less nervy time of it go for Schumann arabesque - pretty tender tune - songlike and beautiful coda lots of repeated bits so fast learning and not so demanding technically - should you get distracted in other ways as you play?! ::) ;)
