<p>Haha, my friends are suggesting the craziest ideas...creating a math formula that has the shape of a heart (cardioid), creating a treasure hunt around the school that ends in a letter saying "will you go to prom with me?", a black fish (***???), etc.</p>
<p>Seriously, do I have to be that fancy? I know the person decently well, and I just plan to go as friends, so can't I just say, "I really value your friendship; would you like to go to prom with me?"</p>
<p>"I really value your friendship; would you like to go to prom with me?"</p>
<p>say that minus "I really value your friendship;"</p>
<p>Hahahh that would be cheesily funny but I think it would be fine to say something like "I really like you, will you go to the prom with me?" or something like that. It also depends on the person too, if they're more laid back then that would be fine- no need to get fancy.</p>
<p>That would be beyond awkward and unnecessary. Just get into a chilled out conversation, get on the topic of prom. Ask if she is going with anyone, when she says know, ask if she would like to go with you. Simple, easy, and effective. Be cool about it, don't make yourself look like a weirdo. Let everything else go unsaid.</p>
<p>I asked my date over Facebook.</p>
<p>The "hey, prom causes so much drama, do you want to just go as friends" route works really well, and the only real requirement is that you're actually friends.</p>
<p>I would recommend buying a gross (144) of roses and then laying them out on her front lawn in a pattern that says "I humbly request your presence by my side at prom" in Latin.</p>

that is not very hard to do. And i second khaki's idea :D</p>
<p>be original. Girls love it and it makes the whole experience utterly nerve-wracking!</p>
<p>If you are just going as friends, you can be plain about it and just ask at a lunch</p>
<p>Don't just go straight up to her and ask. Do something that shows your creative side...but also don't overdo it with something huge like fireworks, a vocal group, etc.</p>

<p>Not. True. At. All. (well maybe for some, but for most, don't go crazy...)</p>

<p>Do go straight up to her and ask. Don't be like "Hey wanna go to the prom with me?" out of nowhere but do ease it in to a conversation so that it's very casual. </p>
<p>Girls like confidence. Unless you're looking for "just a prom date" and not looking to get anywhere further, then sure, you can do the whole creative thing and be immediately placed in the friend zone. </p>
<p>Good Lord, instead of taking Calculus you guys should be taking Get Some Game 101.</p>
<p>Hey, i like guys who are good at their calculus ;)</p>

<p>Don't be all creative and fancy. You aren't trying to show some grand symbol of undying affection. You are just asking someone to go to a dance with you. Trust me, the fanciness of how you ask won't change what the result is going to be. If she wants to go with you then she will say yes no matter how you ask.</p>
<p>i was playing hangman and made the blanks "go to prom with me." then she solved it and said yes!</p>
<p>lol I'd absolutely love the cardioid, and if someone asked me in Latin in any way I'd definitely go!!!</p>
<p>But I'm insane like that. You're much better off just easing it into the conversation. (Unless you know she's as crazy about something as I am about Latin...)</p>
<p>What's the big deal over asking someone to prom?</p>
<p>It's your senior year, school's just about over, everyone's going to college, and you've been together as a class for 4 years.</p>
<p>This isn't middle school prom, and it's not like people should use this end-of-the-year dance to start a relationship or anything... I don't get it</p>
<p>You don't have to be fancy, but it could make it more fun.</p>
<p>Write your question down (don't forget to add your name) and slip it into a balloon. Inflate the balloon (with the paper inside), write "Pop me" or something creative on the surface, and tie it to a teddy bear's arm. Place a bouquet of flowers on the other arm.</p>
<p>^oh my god! that's the most adorable thing ever!! who can say no after that??</p>
<p>my friend used mine and four other friends lockers that were near his. he left them open and when she passed by, he closed each one of the lockers. the message pasted on the locker door said "will you go to prom with me?" haha i thought it was pretty sweet</p>
