It's my senior year, and I do not want to go to prom alone. I like this guy, and I was thinking about asking him to go as friends with me to prom. I've talked to him occasionaly over the past few months, but I still don't know him that well. Should I take the plunge and ask him? If so how should i ask him? note, phone? i don't want to do it in person because i don't know if I could get him alone and i dont want to ask in front of a lot of people. He's never had a girlfriend and i've never had a bf...so i get nervous around guys i like. What should I do? Thanks

i dunno if he likes me or not...on one band trip this year we talked the entire way home...about 45 minutes...the only thing is that he is shy and i'm nervous about asking him

Don't ask him buy note-that's really lame. Now the phone idea isn't too bad, but how would you get his # if you don't already have it? Would you be too nervous or too shy to ask him for his # in front of a group of his guy friends?
I think, since you're gutsy enough to consider asking him by phone, (and I'm guessing that you don't have his #) that you should wait until he's around a modest size group of friends (a group that your familiar and comfortable with), mention the prom in some cool-natural way, ask if he's planning on going. If he says yes, ask him if he has any dates in mind? If yes, ask who (it could be you, which would save you the trouble of asking), if no, casually suggest that the two of you should go together.
Explain to him what your fun plans are for the night. Let him in on where you plan on eating out, maybe who you plan on hanging out with (group dates are always fun on prom), and tell him what your plans are after prom.
Just leave it up in the air, don't expect a 'yes' or 'no'- I think it would be easier on you to imply a date rather than to beat yourself up about asking.
Just smile, & let him know that you're a fun laid back girl simply suggesting a friendly date for prom, rather than an anxious girl that's about to crap her pants due to extreme nervousness.
Go get him tiger!

I know a lot of people say you should wait until the guy asks you, but sweetheart if you keep waiting on guys to do things, you'll be waiting all your life, so I say just ask the guy...I mean, all he can say is no, right? Will it be the end of the world? No, it's just high school, better guys will come along in life and if he says yes, then you're in there like swim wear! Don't be nervous, just ask him over the phone (in person is better if you can him alone) even if you just have to blurt it out while he's talking!!! Good luck!

ok, so. Good news! Its senior year and its halfway over, so you have nothing to lose. You will only go to senior prom once, so suck up your guts and just ask him. He wont really remember how you asked him or anything, so if you have to look away and just force out the words than do it. There is nothing worse than going to a dance with someone you diddnt really want to go with and watching other people there with the people they like. GO FOR IT!!

Well, don't stress it. You could wait, and become his friend, to see if he asks you first, or if you would like to ask him, that would be fine too. Do not feel weird being the girl, asking the guy. That happens all the time. Have a great prom!

talk to him on the phone. first, talk about something else. then make up a story that until now, you're having a hard time finding a prom date. and maybe he can help you find one. then at the end of the conversation, jokingly tell him maybe he should just accompany you to the prom. and tell him that you would enjoy talking to him the whole prom. trust me, this works. good luck.

You sound like you are taking a gamble. Just remember that your senior prom is something to remember as a good thing. Don't screw it up with a stranger. If you really want to, phone.

Just walk up to him and ask him. What is the worst that could happen? He could say no. Big deal. If you dont ask him, you will be obsessing about it, watching Oprah in your bathrobe and eating bonbons when you are in your 30s. Just freakin ask him! Good luck! :o)
