What to do (prom related)

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>There is this girl in my math class I really want to ask to prom, so the other day I asked my math teacher to find out if she already has a date or not. </p>

<p>My math teacher asked the class those already with dates to prom raise their hands and I noticed she didn't raise her hand. So I was happy for a second. But then my teacher asked those who want dates raise their hands, and she did not raise her hand. </p>

<p>So now I am leaning on not asking her. My friends all say I should still go ahead with it just to see what happens. I really need to know if I should ask her or not. My school's prom is on 3/39 so if I have to decide very fast.</p>

<p>simple question…why wouldn’t you ask? there’s nothing to lose.</p>

3

<p>Do it, you have nothing to lose.</p>

4

<p>Stop thinking about it and just ask her .. before someone else beats you to it!</p>

5

<p>Not to make fun of your situation, but I don’t believe there’s a 39th day of March?!</p>

<p>I think you should ask her! Putting yourself out there isn’t the absolute worst thing in the world, and think of how cool it would be if she said yes! :)</p>

6

<p>Worst case scenario: she says “no,” you’re embarrassed for a couple of days, both of you forget about it and only remember when you see each at reunions, and by then it’s a joke.</p>

7

<p>maybe she’s just embarrassed and doesn’t want to appear like she isn’t popular or whatever by not having a date. </p>

<p>just ask her. there’s a 50-50 chance she’d say yes ! :)</p>

8

<p>like everyone said, you have nothing to lose.</p>

9

<p>Agree to all of the above.</p>

<p>Just casually ask her…You don’t have to get down on one knee or anything.</p>

<p>If I was a girl and didn’t have a date and wanted one, I probably wouldn’t raise my hand to this..</p>

11

<p>yeah same here skatj. go for it, everyone wants to go to prom!</p>

12

<p>Good point^. Maybe she just didnt want to raise attention to the fact that she didn’t have a date. She most likely does.</p>

<p>My school’s prom is June 8th (late, I know). How early do I need to ask someone?</p>

13

<p>do it now, goyanks193. the good girls get snapped up quick.</p>

14

<p>Really? I mean I see that perspective, but on the other hand I keep telling myself that it is 3 months away. Actually, now that I typed that, its not too far off, is it.</p>

<p>I guess I better start thinking about doing it, huh.</p>

15

<p>do it 3 weeks in advance.</p>

16

<p>There also might be the possibility that she says yes but is just being nice and doesn’t really like you…I guess just trust that she’s good at coming up with excuses if she needs to.</p>

<p>“the other day I asked my math teacher to find out if she already has a date or not”</p>

<p>This made me smile.</p>

<p>Two words: Ask her. </p>

<p>Ask her now or you will regret it my friend! You will! If your dwelling on your situation takes the place of your asking her, someone else will come and ask her first. Or perhaps no one will, and perhaps she won’t go. And perhaps she would have said “yes” had you asked her, but you never did. No you never did. No, no, no you never did!</p>

<p>And then the question will impose itself upon your brain and randomly, spontaneously, you will think: “What would she have said?” And the question won’t let you live. </p>

<p>And perhaps someday in the far future, you’re driving your car down a highway. At the distance you see a girl by the side of road, and you’re reminded of the girl in your math class. And then that terrorizing question, that question that won’t leave you alone whispers to you: “What would she have said?”</p>

<p>And you get distracted, and you crash your car, and you die. </p>

<p>All this you would avoid, by just going for it. ;)</p>

18

<p>The worst case situation (which has happened to me) is not just that she rejects you. No–it’s when she doesn’t reject you, but pretends that someone else has already asked her and she’s going with him. </p>

<p>And then she shows up to prom alone and complains that no one asked her.</p>

<p>And you wish that your eyes weren’t filled with man-tears.</p>

<p>Man-tears being outrage.</p>

<p>I guess it isn’t 50/50 when you aren’t attractive.</p>

<p>Dude, it’s senior year, you gotta do it! (if you’re a junior, dude, it’s junior year, you gotta do it!)</p>

<p>Do it now before someone else asks her.. i know a lot of people with dates for prom already.. me for one..</p>

<p>lori i think i remember you posting that you have a boyfriend who pays for everything! of course you have a date early. </p>

<p>i, for one, am trying to decide between going with a guy or a girl.</p>
