Asking the girls father for her hand in marriage is a bit old fashioned. I'd ask the girl first, see what she says, and ask her what she thinks about going to her father. She may not appreciate that jesture. She should be of an age where she can answer for herself, and doesn't need her father's permission.

In the medieval period did the man have to ask the father for the hand of his daughters marriage?
In Medieval times yes, the man who wanted to marry a father's daughter had to ask for her hand in marriage and if the father rejected the young man then his daughter was not able to see him any longer. Also, in some countries if the father accepted the young man's proposal of his daughter's hand in marriage there would be a dowry (either money or property that the father gave the young man if the father was wealthy and if the father was poor then sometimes the dowry would simply be farm animals, etc.)
Where in the bible does it say for a man to ask for his girlfriend hand in marriage?
It doesn't. The Bible does say some things about marriage, but it doesn't say anything about girlfriends or asking her hand (in fact, in Biblical times, what would have been more likely to happen is that his father and her father would discuss it; or at best he would discuss it with her father).

How do you get your boyfriend to ask your dad for your hand in marriage with out actually saying it?
Well first he needs to ask you if you are willing to marry him (propose). It is only after he has done this that he should approach your father. It sounds to me as though he has not yet asked you to marry him and if this is the case then you may just be rushing things a bit, he has not made a decision about you yet.
What is modern courtship?
If a young man is interested in you, he will go to the father, and ask for his consent to court his daughter. If the father consents, the young man and young lady may spend time together with a chaperone. Then, the young man may ask for the lady's hand in marriage. If the father gives permission, the couple may marry.
How do you get her back if She left you saying that her parents will not be in favor of your marriage but you love her and want to be with her forever?
Get in contact with her parents. If you are wanting to ask this girl to marry you, but she does not believe her parents will agree with it, then that is the best thing to do. When you talk to them ask her father if he gives his permission for you to marry his daughter. If hes old fashioned then he will love this. But be sure to have reasons on hand of why he should approve of it and what you can to for his daughter.

should boyfriend have to talk to the father about giving his daughter a promise ring?
For a promise ring, I don't think so. An engagement ring I believe is the only ring you tell your father about or get the boyfriend to ask your father for your hand, as it is tradition but this doesn't have to be done. In the end it is down to how you feel about it, does he need to know, do you want him to know?Unless it's a promise ring that determines whether it's future marriage or something like that then yeah. (Well that's if in your family you have to ask the parents permission for someone's hand in marriage.) However, if it's something like do you promise not to cheat on me? Or 'I promise to always love you'. Then you don't need permission really. It all depends on the purpose of the promise ring.
