Creative Ways to Ask a Girl to Prom
So, prom is on the horizon and you’ve decided which girl you want to ask to be your date. Of course, you can go with the time honored standard, “Do you want to go to the prom with me?” It’s definitely to the point, but not very imaginative. What you really want to do is capture your dream date’s attention in a way that makes you stand out from the other guys who may also try to ask her to prom. After all, prom only comes along once or twice in a girl’s life, and she’s going to choose the date she thinks she’ll have the best time with.
Ways to Ask a Girl to Prom
Corsage Invitation
One sweet and romantic way to ask a girl to prom is to present her with a real prom corsage from the local florist. This will take some planning, as the local florist may have to make one for you if they do not normally have a couple in stock. Or you could simply make one from a cut flower from the local supermarket and wrap the stem with some floral tape or ribbon from your mom or sister. Present her with the corsage and ask her if this is the kind of flower that will go with her dress. She may ask, “What dress?” Then you can say, “Your prom dress when I take you to prom.” This option if is for the confident guys out there.
Assume nothing! If you haven’t asked her, ask her! It doesn’t matter if you have been going out all your life, you need to ask her. And, do it with style. Don’t just greet her in the parking lot while she is changing to go running and say, “Hey, so… I was think about going to Prom… were you?” Bad! If you are going to ask a girl then ask them with cause and with purpose, but in a creative way (see the tips section for sample ideas). Don’t forget this step! She won’t, and her friends will attack you if you are supposed to ask her out. If this is a new interest, then still be creative, and ask early. There is nothing worse then asking too late. Girls have been preparing for Prom since they could wear a dress. Asking them a month in advance is not too early (see warnings).
The bold move. Ask her in front of her friends. This only works when she’s around at least 4 of her friends. First, apologize for interrupting. Be polite. Then look her in the eyes and give her a compliment. Tell her she’s very pretty and you like her style. Tell her that you think the two of you would look good together and ask her if she’ll go with you to prom. If she’s not impressed by your confidence and candor, she’s not worth your time, trust me. But don’t use this one again.
