asking someone to prom

[crazyman]

I've heard many different variations on this, and on how someone should ask someone to prom. Some people say just straight up ask in the middle of conversation eg. "blah blah blah, wanna go to prom with me?" while others say to do something cute or romantic. In your experience, what have you noticed works well?

I just ask her. I hate that romantic crap. Its like using canned game.

haha you can do either! I went to four proms in high school. First two was assumed cause we were dating, but we asked each other anyway. Just like "oh by the way wanna be my prom date? of course lolololol" third one I was asked, and fourth I just straight up asked her no frills.


Basically it's up to you. All the girls I asked I knew I would get a yes from, so there's no real risk on my part there.

But I do know that while YOU may hate the romantic crap, spe3d, I can PROMISE you she doesn't.

The more cute and creative you can be the more she'll love it and the more likely she'll say yes.

I've heard of getting her a card and mailing it to her (everyone loves snail mail, dont deny), making a cake or cupcake with "Prom?" on it, writing her a song, the most creative I heard was this guy who had a core group of friends. Seven of his friends each sent her a text. will, you, go, to, prom, with, _____? in that order, and then he sent her a smiley or a heart or some shit.

ask her straight up, or go cute and creative. She'll love it

Asking a girl to grad in about 2 hours. I was gonna go straight up but any easy romantic ideas lol? She already essentially asked me so its a guranteed yes

[Andrew]

dude if its a guaranteed yes then you can do no wrong. If its a guaranteed yes you can pee the word PROM? in the snow and she'll say yes.

in all seriousness you can do no wrong so be as absolutely cute and creative as you can. depends how you're hanging out with her. If you two are just chilling start dooling on her hand and arm or whatever and after a while of that kind of flirting write PROM? on her hand like that.

just something off the top of my head haha

It's a party at her house haha but that's actually an awesome one.

[Andrew]

okay its a party at her house? that means shes gonna be running around a lot. try not to get her in the middle of things cause she'll be busy. Try to get her at the beginning of the night so you're not nervous during the event and shes not wondering why you havent asked her and her friends are calling you a dick for not asking. get her early

[canadiankid]

Sounds good. That's pretty much what my thinking was

[crazyman]

I dunno, I feel weird doing that romantic crap. You know what I'm thinking? Just halfway in a conversation in a group (with the target chick in it, at school), just be like "yo, wanna go to prom with me?" If you're confident enough, and stare right into her eyes as you ask, I doubt she'll say no. Plus, the group thing is key, cause they're all gonna stop talking and encourage her to say yes.

Sound good?

[Andrew]

it really depends. while its super important, confidence and eye contact isnt a end-all be-all for getting a certain response for a girl. If the girl LIKES you and WANTS you to ask her from the get-go then she'll say yes. Otherwise the group situation and popping in the middle of a conversation will make her awkward and uncomfortable. She may say yes cause there's group pressure, but you lose major points in her book, and like I said, she'll feel uncomfortable

It really depends on the girl, but you CAN'T just assume she'll say yes because you're confident about it. That's not how girls work. Girls thrive on emotion and feel much more than we do.

My first prom i asked her in the middle of a group setting, but thats cause she confronted me saying "why haven't you asked me to prom yet?" so i was like oooookayyyyyyy and asked her right then, but like I said that was a surefire yes.

Basically just don't assume you can get away with it.

[crazyman]

What exactly would I lose major points for in her book?

[Andrew]

oh just if you make her uncomfortable at all
