We'd go to a movie. I'd see whether they drank the soda I bought them or ate the popcorn. Then when the movie came on I'd try and tell whether they could actually see movie or whether the rods in their eyes had expired. Then I'd make a move coolly, but subtly and ultimately I'd know if they were a zombie because their flesh would come off pretty easily during some friendly biting.
Afterwards when we left the movie theater I'd pay attention to how they were walking, whether they were stumbling or not, and watch their skin closely for any rotting or unusual coloring. If the evidence wasn't there, we'd keep dating. If the evidence was; I'd start running.
黄昏よりも昏きもの 血の流れより紅きもの 時の流れに埋もれし 偉大なる汝の名において 我ここに 闇に わん 我等が前に立ち塞がりし すべての愚かなるものに 我と汝が力もて 等しく滅びを与えんことを
Hmm well one way I can think of is to try and get into physical contact with them. Via holding their hand, embracing.. you get the idea. lol Working under the assumption that if they are a Zombie, ie dead, they would be cold to the touch. That and they'd probly have a oder of decaying flesh I suppose. hmmm.
Or working out of the Is this a Zombie series get them out into the hot sun as much as possible to see if they avoid it like Ayumu does cause they'd dry up like a raisen. 
Thats about it I guess. Outside of just being blunt and asking after I have tried everythign I could think of at that time. 
I reject your reality and replace it with my own.
That would be quite simple my dear friends. I would simply ask them personally if they are a zombie, and then erase the memory of me ever asking. its quite brilliant i tell you.
How can you love someone and be unsure me I met this great fellow and I found it weird that he never went out during the hottest part of the day in fact i hardly ever saw him in the light of day, so I decided to invite him and the group of girls that he always tells me are his relatives, which again I find odd, to go to the beach during our summer vaction, deciding that if he turned me down then i would then approach him as to his reason as to why he would not spend any time with me during the light of the day.
I caught my last girlfriend eating my sister... however... I always suspected her to be a Zombie. So I did a little "Zombie test." Remember how at a haunted house they would have bowls spaghetti that felt like brains? Yeah that's my plan.
So I set it all up one night and she came over, having no idea of the plan. We slipped into the kitchen in the dark. You couldn't see anything. I lead her to the bowls and put her hands in. She said she could feel brains. I did this 6 more time... Afterwards when I turned on the light... she ate all three of the brains, didn't touch the Spaghetti...
On any given date, I always try to not smell terribly. See, that's the problem with Zombies. They just can't manage that. That, and sometimes the whole, 'feasting upon human flesh' thing that crops up sometimes. I wouldn't necessarily be able to tell from that, anyways, since I'm into biting. The smell is definitely one of the ways to tell, especially if we go to the beach. Everything would be fine, but the sun would be beating down on my date the entire day, drying her out. The sun and the water would quicken decomposition, but hey, then we might have the beach to ourselves! By the afternoon, a dog would have taken her arm as a chew toy and attempt to bury it. Since the beach is empty, she would be free to transform to get it back. That is most definitely what would tip me off. I mean, normal people smell, bite, and lose limbs all the time! But nobody can transform into a magical girl! That would most certainly be the final clue that my girlfriend is a zombie.
Fancy a crush do you? Oh, you sly dog. Wait, after briefly touching hands, you noticed they felt like your Grandfather’s hands that time you visited just before he kicked the bucket? Ah, yes. Zombification – a common issue. So common, that I have already developed the ‘Three Trials’ to test whether or not a person has become one of the decayed flesh. If you suspect a close one to have been grasped by the long tentacle of undeath then please, apply my Trials to determine whether or not they require a trip to the guillotine.
Trial One: play a few rounds of Left4Dead with them. While enjoying a good romp of Zombie slaying, keep a keen eye on your potentially cold blooded companion. You see, Zombies have an innate feeling of sympathy for those of their own kind. A single tear at the sight of a Zombie’s head being split open like a melon is a sure-fire sign that they have been embraced with the corpse-bug. However, PLEASE proceed with the next two trials before you go ahead and lob their head off with a meat cleaver. There is a possibility that they are simply overjoyed at the sight of zombie flesh being cleaved or, in some cases, the abundance of subjects to fulfill their deepest, innate necrophilia fantasies (we have more of those than you’d think).
Trial Two: ZOMBIE MAZE! Construct a large, elaborate and expensive maze. At the end, place a slab of raw human meat (attainable at your local supermarket). At the beginning, place your potentially consumed by corpse-itus companion. Ignore such questions as ‘what kind of date is this?’ because they simply wouldn’t understand! The scent of the human meat will draw them through the correct path. Now, time how long it takes them to make it to the end. Taking Zombie-Slow-Walk into account, if it takes them more than 3 days then they are probably a Zombie – especially if they get to the end and say ‘wow this steak is pretty good.’
Trial Three: The most important trial. Observe their lifestyle. If they are surrounded by annoying, small girls who don’t wear clothes – bodacious, beauties with cold attitudes – quiet, armor-wearing girls who you often unconsciously fantasize about – then they are probably a Zombie and you should proceed to decapitate at your discretion. But, please be gentle – they have been suffering enough already.
I would watch my love interest very carefully making sure of obvious zombie facts to confirm my suspicions first if she was hungry I would pay attention to the fact that she may want to eat someone's brains after that I would make sure her body has no rotten decaying flesh next I would pay attention to see if my love interest is trying to eat me or not if she s trying to devour large portions of my flesh it would be a big giveaway that she is a zombie the final thing I would pay attention to is when she speaks if she can speak normally or if her speaking pattern is created simply of grunts moans and screams and very few very simple words such as eat and brains and if when she speaks puts any expression into what she is saying or says everything in a blank emotionless tone these are the ways I would go about finding out if my love interest is a zombie or not without letting them know or causing them harm
First i would make her watch an anime, and yes she likes anime because otherwise i would not have a crush on her. However, that in itself makes no sense. How could watching an anime ever reveal if someone was a zombie? Well, it would not be any ordinary anime i would make her watch Sankarea. Any zombie fan would love to watch that. I would then proceed to tell her how much i love that show and how zombies are so kool. Proceeding said events we would watch is this a zombie? and once again i would comment on how kool zombies are. We would later go for a walk in the shade while continuing to talk about how fascinating zombies are. She would then ask me to go with her somewhere to show me something. When we arrived there she would tell me she has a secret to reveal to me. She would then continue to tell me her secret of being a zombie. And i would accept her. Because a real man doesn't force a woman to reveal a secret she doesn't want the world to know. He lets her tell him herself when she is ready.
I would come over to her house early in the morning. I would bring two surf boards with me and we would go to the beach to spend all day there. We would catch the sweet early morning waves. After the waves die down we would shower and change out of the body suits. Then she would be in a nice black two piece and I in swim shorts. While spending the whole day at the beach i would watch to see if the sun drains her and makes her shrivel up. Then just in case that is not a enough we would have a swim race and if she shows any signs of inhuman strength or sun shriveling then she is a zombie. Now the date is so much better!
