Ok, I need some help. I want to ask this girl out to "formal" (my school calls it that for some weird reason, its basically prom) but I'm shy and have no idea where to start off. I do not know how to ask her, or if I even should ask her. Can someone help me out with this?
I only really suggest to try and become friends with her first (if you haven't already) so you don't look like a creep just asking her randomly. Oh and also, don't use some dumb or cheesy line to be clever. Just straight up ask if she wants to go to the formal with you. Trust me, it's much better than a dumb line that means nothing.
Thanks, and I'm wouldnt really be a creep. My locker is next to hers and we sometimes chat before class.
That's good then. Honestly, the only advice I have for you now is maybe if you are talking to her before class ask her if she wanted to go the the formal with you. Good luck
I suggest doing what @SSAce said. Becoming friends is a good start. Maybe if it pops up while you guys chat, ask her out somewhere. (Not like a date but you know as friends. Maybe to get pizza, or roller skate, or something.) I'm not good with this "date" stuff but you can follow my advice if you'd like. Good luck.
follow what ace said but 1. make sure she doesn't have a significant other 2. go for it. the worst that could happen is a simple "no"
The other worst that can happen is that she never sees you the same way. She realized that she doesn't like you back but thinks that since you like her, she can't know you. She pushes you away and out of her life, while all your friends look sadly upon you. Granted, that's not common. But it happens. If I were to give actual advice, be sure that she's comfortable with you before you ask her. If your conversations are strained and it's clear that she doesn't enjoy talking with you, don't do it. Most people will say "do it," but don't forget the statistical side to it as well. Know what you're getting into before you begin.
Uhh yeah well. I was going to ask eventually, but apparently someone had already asked her a week before I even made this thread and she accepted. :/ Thanks for the replies anyway.
I'm going to my prom tomorrow and I do have a bit of tips for asking. Preplan tip: ask another friend of theirs. I used this when trying to find out what other girls were doing for prom, and it saved me time for asking/prep work. Planing tip: poster or something else. If the person you're asking likes big things via important questions, then go big. If they don't like huge things, do it small. Best idea is to do a simple poster. Works every time. Follow also what caity and SSAce mentioned.
My school is having a prom for the seniors (8th grade) in my school. I thought is was a middle school and highschool thing lol.
The big Prom thing, the one in every show you watch, is highschool. Middle schools in my area have a promotion dance. Yes, I guess it can be called prom, but OppositeGenius was confused about prom so early. I was just explaining why lol
Okay. I'll tell what I've learned. Don't just tell her "I love you" like that quickly. Or else somthing else might happen. I know what I'm talking about.
To elaborate, because this is something that I agree with... You don't love someone instantly. Things like that tend to take time. If you tell someone that you love them that quickly, you're just setting up for trouble. You don't love someone after a week. You don't love someone right after you start dating them. It takes many months of time put into a relationship to get to the point where you care about someone above all else. If you think you love them after just a week, congrats. That's nothing but shallow infatuation, and you've doomed your relationship to an inevitable but swiftly-approaching nosedive.
