Okay I don't usually like to post questions that obviously reveal my general age but I need an unbiased opinion. I'm a little shy sometimes, but I would really love to go to prom. However I'm missing the date peice of the puzzle. There's a certain guy who recently moved here, I just met him at the beginning of the school year. We see each other usually two or three times a week, at least one of those times outside of school, but always in a group setting, a non-date sort of setting. So I've never really gotten a chance to talk to him one on one for very long at all- just kind of light chatting. I've really liked him for awhile now, and at times I've thought that he might to, and then at other times I don't. But now that prom is coming up and people have started to be asked, I'm really hoping that he will ask me. So, do you think it's possible to get him to ask me? I could never work up the courage to ask him myself, and please no "prom's not that important anyway" answers.

that's good advice to start out by asking what his prom plans are but the thing is i don't see him outside of group settings, and trust me it would make for an awkward conversation. i kinda feel like i'm stuck here, not really seeing him as often as would allow me to get a conversation like that going.

Express to him your interest. Give him subtle hints. If you can't find the courage to ask him yourself ask a friend to do it for you, or you could write him a letter.

I was in the same place as you are now, years ago. I told a friend that I wanted to go to the prom with a male friend so I could go. She told him and he actually ask me.
But it is OK to ask him to the prom. That means you pay for the tickets. If he accepts you need to discuss the transportation and other issues. Today it is VERY OK for a female to ask a guy on a date, or just ask a friend to go with them to a special activity.

prom is something you'll remember forever! and if you just go with a guy that's a friend it could still be amazing, i think you should just start a conversation like 'so what are you doing for prom? are you going with anyone?' make him know you're interested, he's new and probably feels the same exact way you do. don't let your shyness get in thet way of one of the most memorable parts of highschool, because you'll regret it trust me

Ask him if he's planning on going and if he says yes ask him if he's thought about who he's going to ask...you should get a good picture of what he thinks at that point....if he says he doesn't know who he's going to ask then say. You haven't decided who you are going to go with and that no one has asked you yet and that you are too shy to ask someone. That should get the ball rolling......have fun at the prom.....

Here's what worked for me... only with a girl :)
Ask him "How long would you laugh at me if I said I wanted to go to prom with you?"
If he laughs, then you have an easy out... if not, you've safely started the conversation.
Go for it. You are worth it.

i think the key thing here is u being shy. trust me, ur not alone. i always think of the worst, "no i shouldnt say that", "thats stupid what if he thinks im weird?" sort of things.step outside ur comfort zone and just ask him his plans
