Some schools have a rule that you can’t do that. It could work if the OP’s school allows it, though.</p>
<p>I just checked. I’m pretty sure that’s not an option (from previous years, it’s not allowed).</p>
<p>Rather unfortunate because I had a pretty nice option.</p>
<p>only ask someone in your circle. last year one of my guy friends asked a popular girl and was flat out rejected by her in front of most of the school (avoid extremely public places e.g. cafeteria)</p>
<p>I don’t have girls in my circle (well, none single and go to my school) though. </p>
<p>Although my people skills are very strong in public speaking/professional/academic settings, I struggle in more personal and casual settings,though I’m working on it!
Is there any way to expand your social circle quickly?</p>
<p>I wasn’t blessed with remarkable looks (not that I’m ugly lol), but I certainly was blessed with a good amount of courage. I’m willing to take risks, fail, and then try again (after all, why else would I apply to like 5 super reach colleges).</p>
<p>Go stag lol</p>
<p>“Is there any way to expand your social circle quickly?”</p>
<p>1) Inherit a lot of money and be generous with it.
2) Just talk to people, y’know? I think most girls like to have guy friends.</p>
<p>Mom here. Gotta ask. What is YOLO?</p>
<p>You Only Live Once, popularized by a song called The Motto by Drake. Often used by youngsters justifying bad behavior, but can also be used as a juvenile alternative for “Carpe Diem”, or “seize the day”.</p>
<p>STD man savour the day</p>
<p>What does going stag mean?</p>
<p>You want some advice? Ok, here it is. From the information you’ve provided so far, you’ve got two choices. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>If you really do want to go with a girl, get over yourself and ask one the so-called “AP girls” since you claim you have NO girls in your social circle, which I find hard to believe since it’s unlikely that you’ve never had casual conversation with a girl, even on an acquaintance level. Considering you both are in similar classes, at least you’d have something in common. Regardless, going with someone you don’t know as well obviously isn’t that big of a concern to you since you considered asking one of the “pretty” girls, implying you don’t know them well/ enough for them to go with you to prom. If you do choose this option, it shouldn’t be too hard to execute. Think of a sweet way to ask her to prom. If you get stuck, you might want to try googling ways that have worked in the past. In most cases, if you’re really sincere, she’ll say “yes”. Frankly, she’s probably going to be relieved you asked at all. Most girls, like guys (shocker), just want SOMEONE to go with.</p></li>
<li><p>Play it safe. Go alone/with some of your friends. Since you say your social circle doesn’t include any females, I’m assuming your friends are facing the same dilemma. So the better option of the two is to just go with your single friends.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Which ever choice you end up choosing, don’t stress out too much. Prom isn’t that big of a deal as movies may make it out to be. Go ahead, have some fun and celebrate the fact that you’re going to be graduating soon. Hope this helped.</p>
<p>go full YOLO mode. or do like charlie sheen said - ask out the hottest girl in ur school coz the hotter the girl the lonelier she is. charlie sheens words not mine.</p>
<p>As a girl who isn’t nerdy or “ugly” (I hope), I probably won’t get asked to prom junior or senior year. I’m a sophomore. I have guy friends but no guys ever really <em>like</em> me and want to go out. But if a guy did want to go to prom with me, he’d have to be sweet and have a sense of humor! There’s tons of jerks in the world so girls love meeting nice guys and being funny is a definite plus. As long as you’re not like a 1 in terms of looks and you’re fun to be around and funny and nice, you should definitely have a prom date. And don’t be scared of girls that you think are out of your league! If she’s worth going to prom with, she won’t be that shallow. Just get out there and start talking and try not to be awkward</p>
<p>Talking about a sense of humor, the best “asking out” I’ve seen was when this guy at my school covered a girl’s car in post it notes (so thoroughly no paint was visible), spelling out “PROM?” on the windshield. He was waiting with flowers and everything, it was so great.</p>
<p>A word of caution, however. Know the girl you do this to. If you try it with the wrong one she could just get really ****ed at you.</p>
<p>Unless people are already dating and it’s pretty much a given that they’re going to prom together anyway, I don’t like those elaborate things because it doesn’t give the person being asked a chance to say “no” without looking like a horrible person.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Social circle imo is people you hang out with outside of school, etc. The girls I know which aren’t taken are mostly casual acquaintances, not friends really.</p>
<p>I think I’m starting to get a prospect or two though :D</p>
<p>Update: I’m feeling a bit more confident about the whole situation.
As of now, I believe I got better chance for prom than Harvard…looks like I got hope after all.</p>
<p>I’ve been trying to act more outgoing and stuff. Seems to have a positive effect.</p>
<p>That feel when I asked the girl I’ve loved for the past 4 years to prom today and she said yes.</p>
