Asking out to Prom?
 

Yes my final year of high school is coming to an end. Prom is coming up! For some time I've been thinking about the perfect way to ask a girl. This is my last dance, and I wanna somehow make this a memorable one. Any ideas how to be slick/creative on asking her out?

Just ask her!

Have some other dude ask her first. Works every time!

If you ask me, the memorable moments will come at the actual event, not in the asking out.

So along that line, I say you keep it simple, just ask her politely, maybe you can sweeten the deal with some flowers?

Or you can almost go with the classic "Will you go to the prom with me? Yes/No/Maybe" note. If the date goes for that kind of cute thing.

I always thought the asking-in-a-cute way thing was kinda' gay. I mean, it's not that big of a deal in the first place. High school is fucking retarded.

Black suit, black sunglasses, babe, we're going on a mission from god.

You could just walk up to her and say, "So, what time do you want me to pick you up for the prom?"

Whatever you do, don't make a huge deal over asking her. She'll think you're creepy if you do.

Just go: "hey wanna go to the prom with me?"

Yeah, ask her out normally and you'll get a normal answer.

Big mistake.

Rule #321321: Do not be so presumptious to say such things. Women like confidence, but they don't like arrogance in such a blatant form.

Why not just ask her "Has anyone asked you to go to the prom yet?" It makes a good segue into the conversation and you can safely take a course of action without making things obvious.

I mean, its better to ask if she has a date before you actually ask her and rejected, right?

Depends on the girl. I'd be much more likely to laugh at a guy who had the balls to say something like that (and then say yes) than I would be to agree to go to the prom with a guy who was visibly nervous about asking me.

But I think we've already established that you and I like different types of guys.

Must suck being a guy, is all I have to say.

Not making things obvious? By asking a question like that, it's pretty damn obvious that he wants to ask her out, unless he follows it up with Cute, you have found yourself a friend! I'm so proud! or No? Tough luck, I hope something works out for you; laters!

Either way, why wouldn't he make it obvious? I dunno if going to prom with a girl would work out too well if she won't even be aware of it. Unless the guy is into the whole ''imaginary date'' scene.

Its a little more gentle on the nerves.

Its not SMACKING AND OBVIOUS like "Hey, what time do you want me to pick you up?"

And at least you can BACK PEDAL if need be. Are you kidding.

Well, that exact line might be too blunt if the girl doesn't have really high self-esteem, but in general, leaving room for 'backpedaling' seems kind of lame. Like being apologetic for even having the idea of asking her out. Has anyone asked you to go to the prom yet? Because if not, and you're totally out of options, would you consider me, perhaps?

Or how 'bout just "would you like to go to the prom with me?" I mean, Christ, you give youself more anxiety thinking up the question than you would have if you just asked.

While I agree with you (I really do), I don't know exactly how comfortable the kid is with asking the chick out.

Judging from how he posted and worded his inquiry, I imagine he's not the kind of dude who is direct, upfront, and holds himself in a great light. If he's making a thread on the internet inquiring as to "how to ask a chick out to prom," he's not the direct kind of guy.

I think its better to be direct. But I am only trying to help a guy out, man.

Just make sure you ask as early as possible...you dont want her to say no because theres no time to look for a dress, etc...

//This code would please both Sass and Alice. Use it at your own risk!
you.say("Do you want to come with me to the prom?");
Answer ans=you.wait();
if(ans.interpretAsBoolean()==Answer.Yes)
{
you.say("Hey, what time do you want me to take you to the prom?");
}
else
{
you.sigh("*that gal just doesn't know how to appreciate ART*");
you.say(Phrases.insert());
}

That last thing we need around here is another robot poster.

I see, i see...you can't blame me for you not being able to read code which is so obvious. :juggler:
To AliceNWondrland: Where, exactly, do you draw the line which separates a self-confident guy of a vain monkey wannabe?

And, back to the point: doyeon Good luck with your date!

This wouldn't be nearly as funny as it is, but it's how I asked my prom date out.

Edited for simply terrible English.

I happen to have a degree in computer engineering, sir. I read your code just fine. I just find it a little queer that your post sounds like the inside of a robot's brain. And posting in code-speak on the internet is not nearly as esoteric as you'd suppose. It's almost as bad as calling yourself a hacker.

I couldn't care less if code-speak is not esoteric/uncommon/whatever...the content makes sense, so it's what counts.

It might makes sense to those that can read it. I can't, so it's a waste of space for me, and everyone else who can't read it.

That's all it REALLY takes..... Just go and ask. The girl I went with to my Junior Prom, I didn't know her very well. She didn't know me. But I asked and we went. Done'n done.

This makes my head ache. I will pay you $20 to never do this again, mkay?

That's a good question! Unfortunately I don't have a good answer, as I have a really bad track record of picking guys who are extremely "confident" only to find out later that they are, in fact, vain monkey wannabes.

Pretty much nerdiest post ever.

Keep it very casual. I don't suggest doing something elaborate in order to ask her, and sometimes being simple is best. If you happen to be talking about prom with her and a group of other people, that may be a good opportunity to ask her, especially if the conversation focuses on who everyone is going with.

Wow, if asking someone to go to something as silly as prom is giving you this much trouble, I'd hate to see how you'd deal with asking someone to marry you, if such a thing should occur.

Also, just be casual about it. Act like it doesn't even really matter to you what she says. (I say act because apparently it does.)

Wow, I thought girls liked pleasant surprises <_<

What I was thinking of doing for prom this year...(sorry if I digress from your initial post buddy T-T)

I was thinking of making her something...using this talking doll thing (the teddy bear factory couldn't make me this so I had to find one) of a purple bone...then I bought 2 pomeranian dolls in which I will dress them up in outfits... then ask her out by using my voice recording from the talking doll thing.
(Using a pomeranian because she liked my stupid pomeranian <_<)
Was thinking of surprising her by putting a note or something under her bed as well...(I still have to tie everything together but I barely have time gaaah!)

o.O Dude. That'd be okay for like, Valentine's Day or something, but it's just prom. I don't know about the girl in question, but if I were a girl, I'd be creeped out if someone took the time to make a talking teddy bear or left a note UNDER MY BED just to ask me to prom.

If you place a note under the bed, for the time she notices there is a note, it may have expired. If you feel like playing with her, make a note-with-hint-to-the-next-note chain which finally leads to the message, present, or whatever. :beer:

Double Post:
Heh, were you doing a deliberate attempt to encounter the same stone again and again? :lolsign:

Depends on the girl eh? Girls who like surprises, and girls who just like to keep it simple. Gotcha.

you are right, it might be a tad creepy. But oddly the talking bear thing works I heard <_<, guess it depends on the chick haha

That sounds great. I think I should do that. Dude, AliceNWondrland...thank you. :edgarrock:

If she's anything like Alice, just say: "Ok, we both know what you want, so let's say I drop my pants and I'll let you at it ... But if you refuse, I won't let you go to the prom with me."

You're confident she wants to suck your cock, PLUS an added bonus for her!

You know, Smoodle...that just might work!

The easiest method is to just go, "Do you want to go to prom with me?" But first make sure that she hasn't been asked already. Last line you want to hear is, "I've already got a date, sorry."

I've been thinking about it Smoodle, but I still havn't reached a conclusion yet.

im thinking about playing the piano/guitar to ask her out. Anybody recommend some songs?

"I'm Fucking You Tonight" by the Notorious BIG.

Dude, be more discrete: the more the emphasis you put, the bigger the fall if somewhat goes wrong.

Dont be afraid of asking her cause if she knows you alot and thinks your a nice guy, she'll mostly say yes. To improve the chances, bring chocolate and flowers to her at school during lunch and finally say if you want to go out with her. Don't show any hesitation cause it might be your downfall. Make sure to pay for anything during PROM no matter what.

Hahah I realized...don't be TOO ELABORATE (my goodness that concept bashed me on the head yesterday). If one thing goes wrong, it usually screws the whole thing up like my initial plan to ask my date. Hence I rethought my entire plan (no talking dolls...hahaha). Since my school is so...small (my class is 67 students) I was thinking to have my group of friends (10 people) all give her a rose with a note attached concerning their fondest/amusing memories of her; then the last will be mine in which I state that I want to spend the last of my high school memories with her at Prom. Then ask her out to prom verbally. This was a lot more simplier than my initial plan so I am rather relieved since my initial plan...was literally squashed.
So try something simple, not too profound for it is the "thought" that counts, not the physical goods or money spent <_<.

Wonder how my plan will turn out >_>, I am going to carry it out this friday...hope it is appropiate

Ha ha. I like that idea, valiant.
Good luck! :beer:

Thanks, I really hope this works well ^^

Yeah, that sounds pretty simple, I don't see how it could possibly go wrong.

Definitely. And also I like how he's decided to take all the pressure off her by asking her in such a way...and in front of all her friends, too!

Good luck, valiant!

I asked a gay guy as my date... so I didn't really care, I just wanted to spend time with a firend.

Woah havent been online for some time. My plan worked! I am rather excited though rather depressed at the same time for some odd reason. Polarized due to the contemplation of her actually wanting to go with me or going due to obligation...T-T. Maybe I think to much. Thank you so much for bolstering me Alice, aadark, and x86
