Girls! How would you have liked to have been asked out to your senior prom?

Question

I'm a senior in high school and our prom is coming up in about a month. I plan on asking this one girl whom I see everyday when I get to school and leave. She gets dropped off by her mom/dad and I drive. She's really quiet and shy and doesn't talk to many people. Only about 2-3 people who are her friends. We don't know each other so I want to make a good first impression but enough to show her I want to really get to know her and understand who she is. So girls/women, is there any inparticular way you would have liked to have been asked out for prom? ANY tips at all will be greatly appreciated. This only comes around once in your senior year so I want to make it nice. Any tips on unique, sweet, etc. ways of asking someone out for prom and any ideas where to take afterwards? (no hotel ideas for a night of "fun" she's not a sl*t so that's not gonna happen) Any help would be great =)

(p.s. I'm gonna be asking over and over to get a diff variety of answers =)

Answer 1

infront of a lot of people
take her some roses and find her inbetween classes when everyone is in the hallways, get down on one knee and ask her to prom

or make it a fun game, leave her notes to go look here, then here, then lead her into a room you are standiing in with some flowers and ask her to prom

Answer 2

First of all you don't need to ask the same question over and over.. that's just spamming! Many people can answer the same question.. it's not one answer per question!

Before you ask her to prom it would be better to get to know her a bit! Prom is 'THE' social event of the school year and why would you want to go with a stranger? Invite her for something less important first and if that goes well you can extend the prom invite. Grand romantic gestures coming from a complete stranger is likely to scare her off more than anything!

Answer 3

you have faith in early making plans huh? Why are you asking a woman now with regard to the promenade? one in all those good form of issues can ensue between now and the time of the promenade. One or the two one in all you are going to be able to discover a female pal/boyfriend by using then.

Answer 4

ok, first you need to know if she already has a date to prom...ask that next time you see her....if she does not, then ask her...

Answer 5

I went to prom numerous times. I was asked 6 times, went 4 times. The first time my mom said I was too young to go. Next year, I was dating a senior and he just kinda asked. Very casual--no big deal. Several of my friends were asked b/c a lot of his friends were single and wanted someone cool to take. It's not a big deal for people to ask friends. Just go up and ask her.

The next year was really awkward. I asked someone, we broke up, and had moved on but we'd already planned to go together. So a single gf who was shy--asked if she could ask my boyfriend. I was fine with that and that way I could still dance a dance with my boyfriend at prom.

The next year (my senior yr) a guy I was friends with came up and just asked me one random day if I had a date yet and when I said no asked if I would consider going with him. It wasn't a big deal but he just didnt want to go alone.

The next 2 years (when I was in college) friends of mine called last minute and said they didn't have dates yet--would I mind going wtih them. I said yes, drove home and wore and old dress. (didn't bother with the expensive hair-dos by that time either).

All those times it was very casual. No romantic big scenic gesture--just the guy randomly asking. She'll probably be thrilled to go! Just suck it up and make sure you ask her with enough time that she can adequately prepare. It's a lot more stuff for girls, especially if its her first prom. She has to make appointments and spend at least 2 weeks dress shopping.

Creative ways some of my friends were asked: One of my friends was in band. Her boyfriend had someone stuff her locker with balloons and a banner that asked her to go to prom. Another friend sent his gf a rose--delivered by the junior varsity soccer team sometime in every one of her classes. Then the final amount that made it a dozen, were waiting for her at her car when she got out to the parking lot her car had a Will You Go To Prom with me? on it. For Valentines Day, my boyfriend gave a rose to my mother the night before and asked her to lay it on my pillow before I woke up.

As far as AFTER PROM this is what I did each year
1st- a large group of us all went out to an all-night breakfast place so that we could eat and talk and hang out for a while

2nd- My parents cooked breakfast. Everyone was invited over to my house, we had a great breakfast and then my boyfriend and I drove everyone home--shuttle service since everyone was so tired.

3rd- just a small group of 4 or 6 of us all rented a limo. went to a friends house to get picked up. dropped off at his house and changed clothes. went down to the lake and built a bon-fire and made smores.

4th- (I was asked but unable to actually go)

5th- a group of us had rented a hotel room and had drinking plans. Fell through and my date and I ended up doing nothing, just drove around to grab some food at wendy's

The best times were in large groups, without any drinking. You said she doesn't have many friends. She would love to feel included in a group outing since she doesnt usually get that. Especially since you are serious about seeing her, you can get your friends take on her right off the bat.

Several of our friends went bowling after prom. Some went rollar skating which was really cool in your formal wear. Mostly just plan on any way for you to get food. You are usually starving after prom. Perhaps go out for ice cream. If you live in a big city (or near enough) which would have things to do, you could all drive to the prom yourself but rent a limo for that evening (starting at midnight) and drive you around the city all night.

Hope these are some suggestions
