Junior Prom

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Suddenly everyone in my school is asking out everyone else for Junior Prom, 2 months before the actual prom! I know who I want to ask out and would like to ask her soon/next week before she's taken, but I'm not sure exactly how to do so!</p>

<p>We are relatively good friends, although only this year. She's not super popular but not a loner either. Can anyone give some advice on how to ask her?</p>

<p>Also I guess this thread can serve as a general thread for advice on how to ask people, if it develops that way.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>The best thing you can do is to be confident. If you know her well, just walk up to her and ask. It might be best to do it at the end of the schoolday just in case she rejects you, so you don't have to see her again afterwards for a few hours at least. If you don't know her as well, call her up with the guise of needing information about a homework assignment, engage her in a conversation, compliment her a few times and then just ask her. Girls appreciate confidence in a man, so don't be wishy-washy about it.</p>

<p>"We should, like, totally go to prom together."</p>

<p>Works every time.</p>

<p>The girl I hope to ask isn't in any of my classes, and I don't really see her much at all during the day. I also haven't exactly infiltrated her circle of friends, which contains a few boys that she may have her sights on for prom (though possibly not reciprocal). So if I want to go with her, I too have to act quickly, though I'm not sure how.</p>

<p>Speaking to her in person wouldnt really be possible. A phone call may work? What about showing up to her house and do some kind of surprise thing (haha stalkerish?) I guess something over the internet like AIM/Facebook is completely out of the question....</p>

<p>I was thinking about doing something where her teachers could give her things (each class maybe receive some item), and by the end of the day, somehow intercept her and reveal the mystery asker.</p>

<p>Get her friends to help you out, that way it's not creepy. No phone calls, just no.</p>

<p>If done right, the "gimmick"/surprise can work quite well. To me, it's a lot easier to just ask straight up.</p>

<p>The gimmick-surprise thing might come off a bit too strong, especially if she's not actually into you. Calling is not a bad option, if you can't see her face to face. Her friends might blab about it, so I'd avoid enlisting their help.</p>

<p>Don't overthink the situation. Just call her up on the phone, as soon as possible. None of the other tactics will make it any more likely for her to say yes. She'll either say yes or no, so get it over with. If she says no, immediately ask somebody else.</p>
