<p>"These aren't the dates you're looking for" <em>waves hand</em></p>
<p>polter, of the types of girls on your list in the original post, which one is your first choice to ask?</p>
<p>Why can't you have a girl you know well as a crush?</p>
<p>Well, Pat, the answer to that question depends on if you know whether or now she likes you too...</p>
<p>OK so I have a question for all of you - what cool things (if any) has your school done at school dances in the past? Any creative ideas?</p>
<p>I meant it in the "why can't you have a friend who is also a crush" but I guess it applies to this situation for the prom.</p>
<p>Well, my school's prom has pretty much had the same theme every year for over a decade so we don't have to buy new decorations. That's creative in an economical sense.</p>
<p>aww, i'm depressed. we always have to buy new stuff ~ Our theme this year is "lifestyles of the rich and famous", not the Good charlotte thing. But it's more of like, a red carpet/hollywood thing, the soc. comm just thought that "hollywood" sounded cheesy; they're going to put up stars all around with everyone's name on one who attends the prom. It should be pretty.. red table cloths sprinkled with rhinestones, a red carpet you walk in over and a mini stage (just a platform raised a couple of inches) right inside the door. It seems like it'll be pretty ~ expensive to fund tho. Yay, i'm fundraising committee for the student council... lots of work ahead.</p>
<p>we had ours at heinz field (pittsburgh steelers stadium) last year. It was on the 3rd floor, looked out over the city and over the adjacent baseball field.Baseball had fireworks that night - it was beautiful. Had pool tables, magicians and casino. Pretty sweet.</p>
<p>Stars. We use them every year. "Starry Night" "Night under the stars" etc. Something along those lines every year.</p>
<p>We also have it in a warehouse. Yep, you read that right: a warehouse.</p>
<p>dude... I'm sorry about the warehouse.</p>
<p>JeNeSaisQuoi: someone who is special to me but we only occasionally converse :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Ours this year is in city hall in SF....should be good. </p>
<p>Anyway, here is how I went about asking my date:</p>
<p>ME: So, ******, are you planning on going to prom?
HER: Yeah, of course, it should be fun.
ME: You have a date yet?
HER: Nope, not yet
(starts to get the point around here, and if they're not feeling you, this is your escape route. If she goes "Well, someone has asked me" or "I'm really waiting for this one guy, ___<strong><em>, to ask me", or "I'm thinking if I want to go with _</em></strong>_..."or whatever. If thats the case, just answer "Cool, cool...are you planning on taking a limo/do you know whos having parties afterwards/etc." Keeps the subject the same, but leads away from the date question. Then you leave. Now, most girls aren't complete ditzs, and will see through this, but it leaves you with a little bit of your self esteem and not feeling bad. And most girls will be flattered you asked them, g33k l33t sp3ak or not.)
ME: Well, you wanna go with me?
HER: Cool, I'd love to. </p>
<p>Not hard at all gentlemen, not hard at all. Of course, if you guys are "talking" or you want to make it special, you can go all out. But the non-chalant approach works great for me.</p>
<p>Her name is a cuss word? She must be Asian.</p>
<p>The difficult part about talking with girls is they always travel in packs. They can't handle being alone once in a while. It takes courage to ask one aside to talk to. If she's in your class, then that's a little easier, unless she's one of those people who sits far away and leaves immediately at the bell.</p>

<p>lol, nice one. No, I just didn't feel like putting it.</p>
<p>Duke and I pretty much took the same approach. I mean really guys, it isn't that big of a deal. Just quit being a pansy and ask.</p>
<p>polter: I think the approach I mentioned up ^ there somewhere would probably work. I mean, just be casual about it, and definitely don't act like it would mean the world to you if she would be your date. I'm not saying it does, cuz I don't know, but don't make a big deal about it. And if she says no, just say something like Duke talked about, those are really good. Lol, when I hear that stuff, I usually don't think anything of it and nothing ever gets weird. :rolleyes: But if she says yes, that's great! then, this could help you see if she may feel a little more than friendly towards you as well. Good luck! Let me know how it works out, won't you?</p>
<p>bake her a cake
haha</p>
<p>okay Pedro. Then run for class/student body president and get some pimped out mexican muscle, hydraulics would be helpful.</p>
<p>jus' playin. I love Napoleon Dynamite... its the most pointless movie ever, and yet it is so entirely entertaining.</p>
<p>heh napolean dynamite is sure to work...</p>
