I’m currently a junior in high school. There is a girl(also a junior) in my math class who I really want to ask to prom. I talk to her often in class and she always seems happy to talk to me. I’m a little worried I still don’t know her well enough though. I don’t yet have number and haven’t hung out with her outside school. I’m also worried about before/after prom plans. None of my friends are interested in going to prom so if I did something with her it would have to be one-on-one. It’s possible she would invite me to hang out with her friends before/after prom. Another option for me would be to see if I/we could hang out with some of my acquaintances who will probably be having a party of some sort. I’m also worried it’s a little late. My prom will be in two weeks, and i’M considering asking her this Friday. With all this info in mind, what do u guys think, should I ask her? I feel like even if she doesn’t say yes, she will still be polite about it.
Go for it!
you should ask her! she isn’t dating anybody and she seems to like you as a person, there isn’t really anything to lose 
Ask her! But please do it before Friday. If she says yes she’ll need some time to find an appropriate dress.
She will still have a 3 day weekend to pick out a dress. I was planning on asking the Friday a week before prom. I didn’t think she would be able to get a dress on a week day, but I could try to do it sooner.
You may be underestimating a) how much time it might require to find a dress/shoes/accessories she likes, but also b) how stressful it could be to have that task put upon her last-minute.
Ok I will try to ask her sooner.
Another thing i’m wondering is if I need a pre/post prom plan set up. I don’t currently know of anyone who is having an after prom celebration. I could try to find one, but do I need to have one in mind if I am going to ask her?
Good luck! Keep us posted.
I asked her and she said yes 
Yay!
@Jason101200 Have a lot of fun!
Have a good day!
Woo-hoo! Have fun!
Unfortunate turn of events. Today she told me her mom said she wasn’t allowed to date anyone. Therefore she couldn’t go to prom with me. She was really sweet about it and she said we could still remain friends and that I could hang out with her and her friends at prom, but we couldn’t go as a date. Like idk what to do now, I had even planned out what corsage to get her. I’ve just been crying all afternoon. Do you guys think there is any chance that her mom will change her mind. Maybe if I met her mom. I’ve never drunk, smoked, done drugs, or skipped school, and I have a 4.14 GPA. As parentsdo u think she may change her mind?
Sounds like it was a indirect way of telling you that she changed her mind.
I’m so sorry.
There are some parents out there who simply don’t want their kids-- particularly their daughters-- dating in high school. Or it’s possible that she’s simply not ready for all the romantic implications of a prom date.
Would you be happy going stag and just hanging out with her and her friends at the prom?
@ProfessorPlum168 No it wasn’t. I asked someone else who knew her and her mother, and this person told me that her mother is in fact extremely strict. The girl is asked also gave me a hug after she told me her mom wouldn’t let her go, and asked if we could still remain just friends. She also genuinely looked sad before she told me in math class, which suggests she really did went to go
It would be better than nothing but i’m still extremely distraught about not being able to go with a date.
IMO, prom is overrated. I understand the disappointment but if none of your friends are going it might not be that fun for you to go stag, so I’d probably skip it.
I already have my ticket so i’m gonna go. I’ll hang out with her and her friends there, it should be fine.
