ok, there is a girl that i'd like to ask to prom. I'm a junior and she's a sophomore, therefore she won't be going unless another junior or senior asks her. I'm not positive but I don't think anyone has. She's a really sweet christian girl, has a great personality, she laughs a lot and she's also very pretty. We have two classes together and we talk. She's a cheerleader and I'm somewhat of a nerd. I have a lot of friends, but I don't think of myself as everyone's dream date. I would like to know first how to ask her because I'm kind of shy. But what I'm worried about more than that is ensuring she has a good time while we're there, maybe good enough to go out with me. My main problem is that I'm not that funny, and I don't really know how to dance, plus since she is a christian she probably won't want to do the new dancing which is basically sex with clothes on. And even if she does I don't think I would want to because I'm a christian also and I don't agree with that type of dancing.

if you like this girl, you don't have to wait for the prom, ask her to have coffee with you and let things happen at a speed you can both handle. DO NOT try to be something you're not, be yourself. I really like the part where you were concerned that she had a good time on your date, truly an admirable, and rare quality. If you're worried about her saying no, beleive this: If you don't ask her, you will be haunted for the rest of your life about what could have been. If you don't take a chance, you won't get a chance!

well i'd go for it. she sounds like the kind of girl to accept someone like you. but i'm a girl, and i dont mind nerds who have friends. if they are nerds and dont have friends then we try to avoid them. its also important to respect someones Christianity but i wouldnt stress to much about the dancing. if neither of you want to dance, then dont. sit and talk. if you keep conversation up through the night and actually do something (it doesnt have to be dancing but sitting and talking ALL night's not exactly fun) then she'll have a great time. but if she starts nodding and saying "yes" and "i know" kinda slowly when your talking, shes bored. But for the meantime, just approach her slowly when shes alone and quietly ask her. MAKE SURE SHE IS ALONE or her friends WILL GOSSIP. Good luck! ;)

Well, at least you're "somebody".
Sounds like a good match to me. I mean, you're not asking her to marry you...you're asking her to a dance. And, you sense that you might have similar values.
So, go for it. Be your nerdy self. Don't try to be funny. Relax. Ask her a bunch of questions about herself - girls love to talk about themselves. Tell her how beautiful she looks and be specific... you know, hair, shoes (oh, DO mention the shoes), dress, whatever. You'll have a great time.

Why don't you just be like "Have you been asked to the prom?" then she will answer and you can ask...i'm not assuring you she'll say yes, but you should ask, because you need to start taking risks, as do i.
