... but I'm not really the creative type of guy. And Prom is coming up soon, so do you guys have any good ideas how to ask a girl to the prom. It has to be creative, nothing like calling her up on the phone, cause that is just not how it is done where I live.
-
hire a skywriter.
ok ok ok, let's see......
ok how's this? if you know her parents well, you should probably ask for thier blessing first. if they agree, then they may be willing to help you. something like, telling you her favorite flower, then stripping the pedals off of some of them and leaving her a trail to tuxedo bow tie. attached to the bowtie is a simple note.
"Prom? (insert your signature here)"
the trail should probably lead into her bedroom. someplace where she feels safe...the chances of a favorable response are better that way.
and no, you don't sound pathetic.

>>; I don't get it..it's just prom. Go up and ask if she wants to go with you. Problem solved.
-
Dammit man...do it the old fashioned way. Go upto her in the hall and ask her the question. You ask parents for permission when you're getting married and stuff :D
I always prefered to cach them without all of their friends around but I've seen that done successfully as well. Depends on your style.
-
It's easier to just ask spontanously then it is to work up the courage...but since you cannot by definition plan to do something spontanously...
-
I think you can pretty much take for granted that the girls are probably just as uptight as you, wondering if anyone will ask them to prom. (Assuming of course that the object of your invitation isn't the most popular girl in school...) My suggestion to you is to be as casual as possible....no long rehearsed speech....just go up and ask if she's been invited to prom yet. If the answer is no, the door is wide open to take the next step. Be confident and sincere.

Say it with fireworks.
Then say it with fire extinguishers and bandages.

No, you're not pathetic as you are actually going to ask a girl out. I am pathetic because I am too much of a coward to...
sorry, there I go again....

lol. k.
So you wait till she knocks of work or whatever each night for about a week.
Hang around outside make sure she sees you, then hide or run away.
Then after a week of nuturing her paranoia, start following her one day. Preferably at night, and preferably with a hood or something that conceals your face.
Now once she comes to a particularly lonely part of the suburb, pick up your pace, maybe make some grunting sounds.
If all goes well she'll do the same, and eventually break out in a run.
Here's where you need to corner her in a dark alley. Now when she starts screaming out for help or reaches for the mace, rip your hood off and ask her.
If all goes well you'll have a date for the prom or whatever its damn well called. If things go bad you may get maced and a restraining order.
Else just catch her before class and ask her matter of factly if she wants to come along with you.
Either way works... Generally.
-
LOL!
Really though, just go up and ask. She says no, meh, find someone else.
-
Yeah, just ask.
ow, and not like this;
"Ehm... Will... eh... you go... Erm... with me... Prom? You know?"
-
If all else fails just go with a bunch of mates.
Or hire a hooker. :p
...or both?

If I had a hooker I know I wouldn't be going to prom, personally. XD
Though I might make it half-way there before taking a..um..detour.. <<; >>;;
-
Timewarp!
lols.
Would you have a group of friends with you too?
You know what would be interesting?
Getting the girl to come to the prom with you AND the hooker...
You'd have a feast on anchovies that night... :p
:nervous:
-
Nothing says love like a romantic letter sent to her home address written in blood. Something like:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Look out your window
Cause I can see you
Seriously though, just ask.
-
I have no good advice for you (number one social retard right here), but good luck. :)
-
No advice from me ether, cause I ain't going to my prom.:p I can blame it on FS2 and all the people at the SCP, including Goob.:p
-
just walk up to her and ask her. girls are just as desperate to be asked as you are to ask them.
i had to swich schools mid year, into a small private school. **** prom. would you belive it, its at someone house. out in the boonies.
-
Make a big treasure hunt/riddle... like the Da Vinci Code! :nervous:
-
I always find a good way to break the ice is run up screaming like a mad man....
Then carmly just ask her out in a sensible and not ermmmm...ummm kind of way. the screamming is to make you feel less worried about the asking and be more worried about the bunch of teachers about to kick your butt!
-
If adwight knows girl fairly well >> start conversation about prom >> tell her you would like the two of you to go together| If girl says yes then say you're very happy she said yes and something else nice | If girls says no >> accept the answer camly and say you understand, and don't want it to affect the friendship.
Pow.

Well here's the idea I've come up with. I'd have my 5 year old brother (cute little kid) dress up in a little tux suit that he has and hold a rose with a note tied to it asking her if she wants to go(because they always respond in some elaborate way). He goes up to her door, rings it, asks if she is there, kneels down on one knee, gives her the note, then goes outside to where my car is and drives away. Does that sound good?

Phear the drama.

Yeah, until your would-be-date turns you down. Then you'll feel really foolish, and your brother will be pissed off dressing up for nothing.

Dude! That's a great idea. Tell her "Your mom asked me to tell you that you should go to the prom with me."
It should work with proposals also. :nod:
-
that's very romantic... but i agree with KT, you'd feel losered if she turned you down.
why do you have to specially ask her to the prom? why not just ask her out? if she agrees to go with you then she'll go with you to the prom. in fact, why do you have to have a date, do you actually like her? in which case you should just ask her out anyway.
um, yeah.
-
Plenty of Good girl advice found here see. :)
Even some from actual girls! =O
I was going to say something about dressing a life sized doll up etc, but looks like you've got all the advice you need.
Just take a good sense of humour with you and you'll be fine. :)
-
Also, make sure that you don't actually care about the outcome of you asking her to go. I mean, make her think you care so that she'll want to go with you, but don't get all depressed just because whoever you have your sights set on doesn't want to dance with you. Your average high school girl can be really stupid in this sort of matter and come up with something you never even thought of as an excuse of why she wants to be as far away from you as possible.

I know she'd say yes if I asked, but the hard part is getting up the nerve to ask. You all know that's the hardest part.

which is something I've failed at my entire life...
of course I never really hung out around girls and they certainly took pains to avoid me.
In a spread chart of how the people in my HS class related to each other socially, there would be the usual groupings but way off in right field there would be a small unassuming dot that represented me. I didn't drink and was fairly straight laced and my father was(is) like a old time fire & brimstone preacher that everyone liked but no one ever hung out with, which rubbed off on me...
It's not that I'm not a nice guy or am annoying somehow, people just don't hang out with me, which kinda makes it hard to have close friends and potential mates.
I'll shut up now...

Actually, it's not. I mean, it seems like it is, but my personal advice from experience is to do something, and actually do it. Yes or no, once you open that door, it's nothing afterward.

The hardest part is knowing what to say after she says yes ;)

Same here, man. :nod:
Not that you should take my advice, but I'd hire a taxidermist to make a replica of several stuffed Vasudan headz. Sneak into her house and hide the headz under her bed. Send her a note telling her to look under her bed. She will scream and shout and whatnot which would be your cue to jump in the room. Dive under her bed, grab all the Headz and throw them out the window! At which point your potential date will say "Oh thank you for saving my bedroom from Headz from Vasuda Prime! You're so dreamy!" At which point you will say "Arrrr! All in a day's work my dear (her name). Then dash out the window and beat the crap out of the fake headz.
The next day, ask her to the prom!
She can't refuse someone who saved her from stuffed headz! :)

it all depends on the girl and your personality. if your know for doing crazy stuff like wearing pirate hats to school, and the girl your asking is the kind to break up laughing at you in the good sort of way when you come to school with a pirate hat, there isnt anything wrong in wearing a pirate hat.
-
I know she'd say yes if I asked, but the hard part is getting up the nerve to ask. You all know that's the hardest part.
Seriously now...
If you know she'll say yes, then the pressure is all off! Just talk to her like you would normally and casually insert it in the conversation. She'll be less likely to think about it too much if you don't make a big deal out of it. Man, I hope I never need to do this kinda suff in HS.
BTW, Pirate hats aren't very useful except for promoting [V], but If your girl is the "wow that's really psycho but somehow I find that attractive!" type, than go for it! If you do follow the Pirate Hat suggestion, don't forget that no pirate unfiorm is complete without an eyepatch and a parrot on your shoulder, (perferrably a live one.) :)

The pressure is all off??? This chick makes me crazy when im by her, you know how your legs turn to jello and stuff like that? This is gonna be tough getting the balls to ask her to go.
-
Mate. I've come to the simple philosophy of late that "Life is too short".
Don't spend half your life worrying about crap etc.
Yah spend too much time worrying about something, then it happens, and suddenly you don't give a rats no more.
Think of the after time, the relief.
Recite "life is too short" in your head. Think how much time your wasting thinking of something so miniscule and pointless in the big picture.
Just do it. No more fretting. No more thinking. Just. Bloody-well do it.
Ask.
-

Legs turn to jello? I haven't really experienced that quite yet, and if she makes you crazy, you should probably stay away from her. But if you really want to ask her to the prom, take Grug's advice; Just Ask!
-
Trust me, asking is better then just trying to forget it, or never working up the courage to ask. Better to ask and hear no, then not asking at all. I can't say anything about asking and hearing yes, but the other two outcomes I do have experience with.
Just ask her, once you put your mind to it, it'll be quite easy to do.
-
Grug speaks the truth. Listen to the Grug.
I was in the same position (jello legs and all) a little over a year ago. Then there was a slight gap in the conversation, and I found myself thinking 'Ah, screw it' and asking. Though a few seconds later I realised I'd actually said 'Ah, screw it' out loud - it worked anyway though, we're still together too.
You're lucky - I was actually expecting she'd say no.

Are you sure it's a good idea to ask her to a dance if you're going to have incredible difficulty standing up? (Standing on legs of jelly is difficult! That's why they use titanium and stuff for false legs these days!)
Meh. Advice - ask while drunk. Whee!

"...finish the shading on your upper lip." Awesome, tho. :)
Advice:
Situation A: You are not particularly good friends with the girl in question.
Resolution A: Stand up relatively straight, look her in the eyes (or the bridge of the nose works wonders), speak clearly, and ask "Would you go to the prom with me?"
Situation B: You already have a good friendship going with the girl in question and don't want to risk it.
Resolution B: Stand up relatively straight, look her in the eyes (or the bridge of the nose works wonders), speak clearly, and say "I've been hesitant to ask because I didn't want to lose a good friend, but honesty is too important. I would like it if you would go to the prom with me."
-
Damnit! I thought I typed "shading"! I can't believe I've had that glaring mistake there the whole time.

I think this would be an incredibly bad idea. If you ask her this, and situation B is true, it would put her on the spot and likely make her feel akward. She might get the wrong message, and that might endanger your friendship much more than simply asking her out.
Anyhow, in all my years of observing others, and not being influenced by a fogged mind by having to do it myself, I have come to the conclusion that asking directly and semi-casually will give the best results, no matter what the outcome. Showing her confidence will give her confidence in you. This way, you wont get a pity date (you dont want one of those, trust me), and if she turns you down, you wont be make the laughing stock of the whole school.
Basicly, I could see it work if you ask it like this, "Hey, would you like to go to Prom with me on Saturday night?". The key to doing this is that bringing up Saturday night takes alot of the focus away from the word "Prom". This will likely take away some pressure ivolved. Anyway, if she accepts, simply say something like, "Great, I'll see you Saturday". Dont show alot of excitement. If she politely turns you down, say "Alright then. I'll see you around". It wouldnt hurt to show a little disapointment (Key word: little). If she blows you off like a *****, then make it clear to her that she isnt worth your time. If being a laughing stock is involved, make sure you spread the word first, and you will have the upper hand.
Anyway, to make a longish post short, just maintain your confidence, but leave the ego at the door.

I had...a dozen or so of the books when I was a kid, and I just google imaged for "Grug". He's a little blackboy (I refuse to say "Sandtree" or whatever the PC ******s want me to call it) that came alive one day.
-
I think I'll quote Samuel L on this one. "...Be Cool!"
It's not rocket science. Just go up to the girl you want to take and just ask. It's just prom. It's not like your asking her to marry you. Just don't act all nervous. That will kill it. Just ask it like you are asking her if she likes milk? Or you could build her a cake or something. (sorry I had to throw that in.) Whatever you do, don't be like: "Well...um...uh...um...uh....w-i-ill you go...go to the pr-o-om with me?" Whatever you do. I don't care if you do kart wheels down the hall naked with orange paint on your body and a 1/2 pound dumb bell tied to your wiener, just don't act all nervous!
-
And whatever you end up doing, be sure to notify us how it went!

Whenver I talk to girls, it's just like "hey." "Hey" "Whatsup, how are ya, what's your name, etc". She answers, you two talk, and if you're asking her to the prom or osmething, compliment her, something that sounds nice, is complex enough to sound tasteful, but simple enough to be intelligeble. Such as "Hey, I was wondering...I've noticed you around lately, and I have to say, you look amazing. I was hoping that there was some small chance you'd stoop down to my level and let me take you to the prom?" (add smile and jovial laugh for effect :D). Just be yourself, stand tall, and walk up to her. :)
-
I'll be sure to let you guys know, next week is when I plan on doing it *crosses fingers*
-
Good luck mate! :)
-
Ask a dude just for fun.
-
Ask her the first time you see her and it doesn't seem out of context. Otherwise you run the risk of procrastinating until "oh ****, it's friday, school's over, I don't have her number and prom is tomorrow!" :p

Back when I was dating when ever I talked to a girl I would ALWAYS find something nice to say about them ("you have beautiful eyes" or "I really like how you did your hair today" or even "I like the color of your toe polish"). That way all the girls would have a soft spot for me and when a realitionship I was in fell apart there would be another girl standing in line ready to go.
I guess the moral of this story is be sure to say nice things about the girl. Oh and when you are talking to the girl be sure not to talk about your self. Get interested (or pretend to be) in what she has to say (or what she does, what sports she plays, ect...)

Soooooo...... Didja ask her yet? ;7

If she is just a warm body to take to the prom so you don´t go alone, go with the simple aproach. But if you have feelings for her, and you hope to take it further than the prom night, i suggest you make a lasting first impression. Sky writing is good. Using the school P.A system or school radio is good too. Or drop by her house, well dressed, with flowers, and ask her like a true gentleman. Be imaginative. And if she says yes, don´t be cheap with her on prom night. Hire a limmo, pick her up in style, take her out to dinner (before or after, depending on at what time the prom is), wear a tuxedo, offer her flowers, and for the love of life don´t get drunk and puke all over her! That would pretty much kill any chance you had with her, and whenever she sees you after that, she will remember that you puked all over her beautifull dress. And you don´t want that.
:D

hey, (name), you wanna go to the prom with me?
