? Is it too impersonal? Even if I don't know the guy that well? I'm too scared to ask him in person since I don't know him that well. But I really want to have a date.

Thanks to all who are answering seriously and not insulting me. To people who are saying the guy would ask me if he liked me, welcome to a new millenium. Plenty of girls are asking guys who would've been too shy (OR SLOW) to ask them. So give me a break!!

Well how old are you? 9th or 10th grade, I totally understand. I mean sure you can ask him over the phone. But honestly I would make sure he at least knows who you are. I mean maybe even giving him a note would be best. If you are older and shy, well try the note approach. Plus guys don't always like to talk on the phone and he might be hard to get a hold of.

Yes, ask him over the phone. It might help if a friend of yours lets him know you want to call him. You can then find out his reaction.
Years ago, when I was still in High School, a girl from another town, who I met at a mid-term convention, called me and asked me to take her to her HS prom.
I was surprised and flattered. I said yes because it was such a compliment to me. She was such a flirt that she got every guy's attention. I am still surprised that she noticed me and picked me.
The guy you have your eye on may not be interested, but it is better to give it a try than regret not even trying.
If it does not work out for you, ask me. I'll take you to your prom.

I would say go for it, but it might be just a little awkward and impersonal. What about writing him a note? I know, it's cheesy, but that way you can still ask him without being face-to-face, and it will take the pressure off of him to give an immediate answer. Plus, a note can be very personal, be creative. :)

Best way to go is show some self confidence and go up and ask him in person. Say something like,"hey, I know we don't know each other very well, but I'd like to get to know you better, are you free for prom?" If you can't confront him personally he will know that you do not have any self confidence. Yes, it is less embarrassing if you call and if he says no you can hang up, but don't do that. Take pride in yourself. The worst that can happen is he says no. If he does then he is not worth your time. Move on and find someone who will be worth it.
Good luck

Yes. You can ask a guy anyway you want. One of my sons got asked to prom on Instant Messaging, and another had a poem written on his car with car-paint (I see you in the halls and I see you in class, go with me to Prom and I'll be a happy lass...) He actually drove around with it for a week just to watch people smile. Last yr he asked a girl by leaving a teddy bear in a tuxedo in her locker with a note. Keep in mind that he may be nervous about accepting if it seems that you're really nervous about asking. He wants to have a good time at prom too, and if you're too nervous he may think that it wouldn't work out.
See if you can find out if he already has a date, and be prepared that he might say no (just in case, you want to be graceful about it). Guys have had to live with rejections for years, and have learned that it's not really that important. If he says yes, hurray!
Are you prepared to pay for the prom tickets and transportation? If you ask him, you'll probably have to pay for them unless he's an old-fashioned gentleman (rare). You'll also be responsible for arranging any group-arrangements, like which table or friends to go with, etc. Good luck!

I don't think its impersonal at all. Often the guy will be relieved he doesn't have to have the embarrassment of asking the girl themselves. A phone call can be just as sweet as in person.

I wouldn't ask somebody to the prom that I didn't know.
However; if you have enough time before prom night you could ask this person out on a date. You could go out for pizza or something simple. If you make it through that date, then you could ask him. I just wouldn't want to go to the prom with somebody I didn't know and end up being miserable all night just to have a date.

Why not? That's how I got a prom date. The guy was going to ask me, but he was sick, so I called him at home and accepted. Of course, we're very close friends, so that might have helped. In your case, it would probably make more sense to ask him in person. Try to get him somewhere quiet.

It's not all about having a date, but sure you can ask him on the phone, it doesn't need to be personal because as you say, you don't know him that well. Good Luck.

I think yes, and I'm answering your question because a girl asked me to prom over the phone. I didn't see anything wrong with it at all.
