Hey, my High School prom is comming up, and I have a girl that I want to ask, but the thing is, I want to make it a huge deal! You know big and romantic (after all this is no ordinary girl) So I was wondering if you guys had any ideas and to share some tips with me. Girls can help too, share the story of how you got asked (or asked some one if that is the case)

Dont be shy. Plan it out and have the courage to come up to her and ask her nicely.

LOL Last year a guy wrote a song asking me to go...it was sweet but I had to let him down considering I was only a sophomore at the time.....damn my paranoid father!!

There's the classic send a single red rose with a message attached idea. Maybe send several roses with different messages on each one (Poems, prose, try not to go into infatuation or else the person might think your a stalker, and remember that flattery will get you anywhere), not revieling who you are until the last one (good number being 6), but that's cliched. Meh. I'm not good with matters of love anyway. That's all I've got for now. Maybe when it's not 1 in the morining I'll come up with a better idea for ya.

Randomly hide in a dustbin and wait for them to come your way, then burst out and say it- making a huuuge show :P

I like M's idea, about the roses...but I think I might have come up with a good idea. You see, I can make my own fortune cookies, and she loves chinees food, so....I make one with a fortune in it asking her to it, so when she opens it up she would be all surprised. But I don't know to either have it delivered to her, or to take her one a date to a chinees resturant and at the end have them bring us the cookies and she get it there.

really? i liked thorns the best. nothing says 'i love you' like a fish bone in the face

Won't something extravagant weird out the girl you're asking?

Try screaming down a megaphone across the american football pitch.

Anyway don't think about it too long otherwise your girl might get taken before you ask.

Yes I agree....don't wait, I did and paid a terrible price...by which I mean
now I can't get over her, but I know I won't be able to be with her....
ahem anyways the fortune cookie thing sounds like a good idea

Give her a car, unless she's a snob, no one will turn down a car.
It has to be a shiney car too, but tell her the car and you come as a package. :)

Go to her house at night, set up fireworks, throw rocks/fireworks at her window, tell her to come outside, light the fire works, and then leave.

Oh, and about the prom thing, hire out some clowns to chase her down and you can come down on a glider to save her. And then the parachute can say "will you marry go to the prom with me?".

"You can run, but you cant glide!"

Simple and clean man. I really hope you dont hire out clowns because they scare almost anyone when they chase you. Slip her a rose, a letter, somthing thats been used seems more casual

Yeah Radical Dreamer's partialy right there, do it Back to the Future style, if you haven't seen it, shame on you, but anyway, get someone to take advantage of her, save the day, get the girl. Of course that's a really stupid idea that could get that friend in jail.

'go to the prom with me or you'll pay with your life'

chicks dig psychos!

That fortune cookie idea is pretty damn nice. However, you should put something fortune-cookie`ish as the fortune, rather than your request. I recommend using the fortune as a mere vehicle to asking her yourself.

Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the ladies like it when a guy has the balls (or testicular fortitude, as Stewie would put it) to ask her directly.

Yeah I've given her the cookie already, and listen to this tell me that this isn't a good sighn. I was waiting for her at school in our usual spot were we meet in the morning and she comes up to me looking really scared. "Oh Sukate" she says to me (by this time she was crying her eyes out) "I think I just caused an accident" I asked her what happened and she explained, and of corse it really wasn't her fault that it happend she was just a witness to it. So I laugh and wipe her tears from her face and give her the cookie and tell her "Just at least read the fortune" and we both parted to go the class. After that class period we saw each other, she had a smile on her face and when she came up to me she giggled and said "You're lame" (in a joking tone of voice). But she still hasn't given me an answer yet...x_x

You should have went with the hang glider...

...I would have gone with the "Pull-Up Confession" from Ichigo 100%...

I'm not too certain that the timing was too great on your part. If I was to look at it from the outside, It seems all too mechaical. Even though the mood was somewhat right, I don't think it was a good idea to present it at that time.

You have shown the lady that you are intrested, and made your feelings known. Really, it's up to the woman now. My only advice is to be prepared for one of these four things: Acceptance, Indifferent, no responce, rejeciton. The two in the middle are by far the worst that the ones on the outside.

Exciting? Well I don't know, I just asked my friend the other day and he said yeah.
o.O

Ok I guess that I will just wait.

Oh man, my friend had the best solution for this 3 years back. He went to a different school than the girl he was going to ask, so he talked to the teacher beforehand and asked her to introduce him as a guest speaker in the middle of class. In the middle of the day he left our school, drove to her school and was introduced as the class speaker Mr. Lee. THen he went in front of the class all dressed up holding a rose and recited a poem to the girl and asked her to the prom. Of course she said yes and almost every girl in that class asked for his number in case things "didn't work out".

I had to give him mad respect for that ballsy move.

for me I just asked a random girl (literally talked to her once) in the hall and got a yes...uneventful but also non-scary.

i don't have to worry bout prom for a coupla years XD

anyways, g'luck Sukate.

Gather all your friends and perform a short musical.
Oh well, :sigh:...

I wish you luck! :lol:

*disdainful snort* I asked a guy to our version of prom and he said yes... I conveniently "forgot" what a terrible conversationalist this guy was and ended up having the most boring night I could remember. All my girlfriends were having so much fun in their little group, and I was sitting alone with him trying not to nod off.

Moral of the story? Don't feel like you have to have someone hanging off your arm. If you end up with no date, go with your friends and have a GREAT time.

heres a couple which im gonig to pull this year for fun and see their reactions (and i did do a few, got a good laugh out of them)

1. walk up to them and ask "do you beleive in true love or should i walk by again?"

2. " " "Do you know CPR cause you took my breath away?"

3. or use ur freind as an excuse to ask her liek this " you know my one friend (insert name here) has a thing for you, but my question is, does that ruin my chances with you?


in all seriousness if you know her pretty well or kind of, you ahve soem time, to get to know her better, when you do, it wont feel as awkward being near her. (by then you should have the courage to ask her). then just ask it and dont panic!. Be liek "what you donig (day of prom) and if she says "dont know" or "nothing yet" or soemthing along those lines, theirs yoru chance. i would ask and be liek "isn't that prom night" and then she would obviously knowi t is and would respond "yes" and then u can answer "want to go with me?"

through this method (which is practically.... confusing and messed up) you never really ahve to actually say "woudl you go to the prom with me". that takes a lot of pressure :D

btw GL! :)

Whatever you do, do not go alone! That's what I did, and it was not a very pleasant feeling. I think I was at the actual dance for about 45 mins and then I went home.

I'm just saying that I think it's more fun to go with a group of your friends instead of a date. :heh: Listen to me! I sound like a cranky old lady!

Well, whatever happens, Sukate, good luck with the girl you've asked out. Here's a tip: treat her like a princess. Hold the door open for her. Pull her chair out for her. And whatever you do, DON'T say, "Yeah, I'm holding the door for you because someone told me I should."

Hasn't he already asked?

You'd hope so wouldn't you?

Well I've come to realise that if you wait, the night of the dance is always fun. I've yet to ask (Or get asked for Sadies) and I've always had great fun, especially with the senoirs. God I miss them :cry:

Or you could do what I was thinking of doing. Go and announce your looking for a date and registration is in the office. It actually worked out! I went into the office and Misses V said that several girls came down looking for registration after I told a select few about my little plan...

If all else fails, write up a love resume and send it to her.

Good luck! I know I do... I'm so freakin hopeless XD

In the Dance, Dance Video the guy burned the lawn so it would say "Dance?" I don't reccomend it though! XD

Yeah...that wouldn't be good to do...considering that we live in a very dry area...

Just do what Bart did and use a herbicide.

A what?

A herbicide, something that kills plants.

Get drunk and ask. Make sure she doesn't smell your breath though.

You should write "Lets dance" in blood on her window. Always gets the ladies.

Toss in some puppies for effect

lolz about the getting drunk thing.

.

Emo kid?

Screw those ideas. Just say "What to go to the dance with me?"

Quick. Simple Easy. And you'll get your answer then and there.

Special, special, it is a special girl that I want to go with....I want to do something big and surprising for her, you know, take her breath away. I know if I were a girl I would love something like that

can you guys help me out as well? this isn't off-topic since it's kind of related to proms.

i asked this guy out to go on a batch night with me (kind of like a prom but less formal) and he said yes. i need to inform him more about the batch night but i lost his landline, his cell number doesnt work, and ive never been to his house so i cant visit him personally. he did go online once and i was positive i left him an offline message the day before he went online. i asked him for his number at home so i can contact him and he never replied.

is he avoiding me? should i ask another guy out without his consent? i mean the batch night is on march 23 and if i wait for nothing then im just wasting my time. should i wait for his reply?

@sukate, why not try to give her some sort of treasure hunt. plant notes on different spots like "go to the place where..." and the final clue leads to you and you're holding a bunch of roses and ask her politely if she says yes. she probably wont say "no" since she knows youre thoughtful and sweet enough to prepare the fun fun activity for her.

or she might get tired of a wild goose chase and just go home after going to 2 places

A guy asked me out to prom using a huge sign in a different city! lol How am I suppose to see that oh yeah my tech school bus back in high school senior year. He must of have been upset when I gave him the bad news. "I'm taken...no not to the dance but I have a boyfriend." Still I'm flattered by him asking me in a creative way but isn't that embarassing for him? lol

Junior year a bunch of guys slipped cards into my books during lunch or sent flowers with a card asking me. Again I was taken but sadly I went alone for those 2 years because my ex bfs could not go, they were in the military so I did it out of loyalty. Not going with another man to any dance unless it was the one I am currently with. I'm not allowed to ask a guy out...weird but true it's my culture or family tradition. Anyways I'm in college. lol There's a prom in college I suppose...

Frozen Shadow. The guy said,"Yes." So the best way to contact him is in person I know it may be difficult but try that way you are definately sure he is going with you. Otherwise you can have a back up date in case he cannot go. Maybe he has a job and could be busy...find out don't wait patiently for a reply believe me I had that problem for military ball. I had a last minute date which could be a hot mess! So better safe than sorry right? I don't think he's avoiding you. For a guy you gotta tell him what's up otherwise he won't know what's on your mind. ~*Asuka*~

You can do all these people tellsu to do
or
u can gather the courage to
get on ur knees spread ur hands
and say I love u baby!
all out loud

otherwise u can just make it quick and hopefully get a happy ending by saying
may i hav u tonight?
or the sad but happy ending by saying 3 words
I AM GAY

Whatever you do, do not go alone! That's what I did, and it was not a very pleasant feeling. I think I was at the actual dance for about 45 mins and then I went home.
It's not so bad going to the prom without a date. Just hang out with your friends or something.



Not all girls like psychos, btw.

My opinion:
1. Ask her directly
2. A Note/Letter
3. Send roses/bouquet and chocolates with a note asking her
4. Have a friend ask her for you but make sure if its a guy that he doesn't ask her out himself
5. Get her drunk and then ask her (problem: she wont remember a thing)
6. Ask her who she wants to go to the dance with

There were a couple more but I forgot them along the way.

i like tip number 2

@asuka: thanks!
