<p>I think everyone has reached the same conclusion, so I don’t have to say anything. But I will say this…if a teacher were to make me raise my hand to see if I wanted a date or not, it’d be VERY awkward for me to raise my hand. It’s almost like screaming out “Omg I’m so insecure I need a man in order to have fun at a dance”. Well, something along the lines of that.</p>
<p>3 weeks is a good time, but even a little sooner would be better. It’s good in order to start figuring out if you’ll be going as a group, if you’ll need a limo, etc.</p>
<p>Inspiration: if you go with a girl, at least you’ll know that she’ll look good no matter what. Guys are more questionable about hygiene sometimes…</p>
<p>Hehe, inspiration, interesting dilemma. At least I have it narrowed down to half of the available population.</p>
<p>I want to do it early, but I guess I gotta work on making sure it wouldn’t be “out of the blue,” at least in my mind. Sorry to hijack the thread, btw, OP.</p>
<p>Don’t use the in class survey as an indicator that she doesn’t want to go to prom. I can’t think of many girls who, in front of the entire class, would raise their hands and say they wanted a date. She probably didn’t want to seem desperate in front of everyone else. So go for it! The only thing you can lose is a teeny bit of pride (but she probably won’t say no, so don’t worry about that).</p>
