<p>Yeah so Prom's coming up. </p>
<p>Where/when/how should I find a date?</p>
<p>I'm not in any school clubs with any girls, only interaction I ever get with women are in class. </p>
<p>Do people usually ask people within their social circle, or is it normal to go YOLO mode and ask out a random chick?</p>
<p>Don’t ask someone random unless you’re desperate, but maybe try to get talking to a girl in class and if she seems nice and interested you could ask her.</p>
<p>Never go YOLO… Prom is a bit of a letdown anyways. You shouldn’t feel obligated to take part in it just because others do.</p>
<p>it’ll probably be easier/better to ask one of your friends that is a girl, or ask one of your friends to set you up with someone, lol.</p>
<p>Problem is, uh, I don’t have females in my circle really.
The girls in my AP classes aren’t exactly the most uh…how should I say it…easy on the eye? xD
And those in my other classes are either
a. taken
or
b. just out of my league :(</p>
<p>So the only girls that would say yes to you, you’re willing to reject because they don’t look good enough to you? I’ll also mention that they’re in your AP classes, so they’re smarter than most of the girls in the rest of the school, therefore better to talk to. And you need someone that is good to talk to, because that’s what you’ll be doing most of the time. If you think it’s like a movie where you dance, drink, and then have fun in the back of a car, it’s not really like that.</p>
<p>OK, hi. I’m a female who has been to prom twice (sophomore and junior year…I was dating a junior my sophomore year which is how I got in to prom).</p>
<p>My first prom wasn’t all that great, but my second one was fun because it was my grade as well as the then-Senior class, whom I loved. From what I remember, people just asked their friends. A lot of girls are just relieved to be asked in the first place. But it’s better to go alone/with friends than with a random date. You can also ask someone outside of school to go with you. My friend asked someone who graduated a few years ago and went to a nearby University. To each his own, I suppose.</p>
<p>“The girls in my AP classes aren’t exactly the most uh…how should I say it…easy on the eye?”</p>
<p>You probably aren’t either, as evidenced by your inability to find a date. Beggars can’t be choosers.</p>
<p>
+1, A+, well said.</p>
<p>Don’t be so picky. It’s not like you’re going to spend the rest of your life with your date.</p>
<p>^Yeah. Thats true.</p>
<p>Just be nice to girls around you.</p>
<p>Never go Yolo lol. Not to ruin your confidence, but one of my friends got asked to homecoming by a random guy and she said yes just to be nice and figured maybe it wouldn’t be so bad and they’d have fun. Nooooo. It was extremely awkward for not only them but our whole group, and I can only assume with prom being more formal it can only get worse.</p>
<p>I think if you just try to talk to/flirt with a couple girls (any really) and if any react positively then ask them. Or, waiting till it gets close and the unasked girls are desperate guarantees a date if you agree to go with their friend group.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>+2 Well said.</p>
<p>Ask the person regardless if they are “out of your league” grow pair and get in there!</p>
<p>Gahh, this bothers me so much. I always wonder if an unattractive couple actually like each other, or if they end up settling for each other because, after all, everyone better-looking is “out of their league.”</p>
<p>It’s not even that OP should go for the more “homely” girls because he can’t “afford” to ask the prettier girls. It’s that with that kind of attitude, he shouldn’t be asking any girls at all. He doesn’t see them as people to be interested in; more like status symbols. And if the girls in his AP classes aren’t good-looking enough for him, why can’t he find an attractive date? Is he unhygienic? Creepy? Unconfident?</p>
<p>(I’m actually kidding. That’s a bit extreme, though like a lot of other posters I’m cringing at your use of “not easy on the eyes.” But seriously though, if you want a date this badly, then ask someone. But no, don’t ask someone random. Good luck!)</p>
<p>I agree that beggars can’t be choosers , and if you’re going to act like you’re too cool for the AP Girls (when you’re obviously not), but the pretty ones are out of your league, don’t even bother asking a girl. If you’re just asking a random person for the sake of not being alone, it’ll be a long night for you . like it was said earlier, prom is about talking to someone, not getting it on. Cause nobody deserves to be your “well I couldn’t find anyone else, so we’re going to the dance together”.</p>
<p>
Wow I sure came off the wrong way didn’t I xD
Anyways, from a purely objective standpoint. I ain’t a particularly good looking guy. Nor am I a bad looking one either. Over 6’1", i’d say pretty good for an Asian guy. I’m maybe…6.5/10 on a 1-10 scale. </p>
<p>It’s not just that the girls in my AP classes are “homely”. A lot of them are the type I really can’t relate to or see myself talking at ALL. Part of why I don’t view them as the most attractive bunch is cause many are rather boring. Grade grubbing is one of their favorite pursuits.</p>
<p>I try to be nice to everyone though, so I’m fairly well liked. Unfortunately, my social circle just doesn’t have any girls.</p>
<p>hmm what about girls from other schools?</p>
<p>I can try, but that’s asking a random girl out isn’t it xD
Most of the girls I know from other schools are already graduates.</p>
<p>Asking out a girl that’s already graduated is perfectly acceptable as long as they’d be willing to go.</p>
